HISTORY
G&G was founded on 1 November 1995 as a trading company under
the name G&G Audio/Video Services.
In addition to the sale of CQ cleaning tissues for video heads and
Kata camera bags, we tested professional Betacam-SP video
cassettes for cameramen.
The quality testing scheme of the video cassettes was so successful,
that shortly afterwards we introduced the brand Tape Check for this
service.
At the request of a few (commercial) private television stations we
started to evaluate used Betacam cassettes for re-use which led to
the formation of Tape Check Europe B.V.
During 1996 and 1997, in close cooperation with some of our
customers,we developed the quality control process of cleaning and
testing videotapes according to the new specification.
This unique process is now known as the “Tape Check” method:
every tape that passes the test free of defects is ensured to provide
at least the same quality as a new cassette.
In 1999, as John de Mol introduces "Big Brother" as the new concept
of Reality-TV, the re-use of video cassettes in the production of
TV-shows made a huge expansion.
The incredible success of Reality-TV series opened the market for
Tape Check in Europe and Tape Check Europe soon became the
largest videotape recycling company in the world.
In 2007, in addition to video cassettes, we also started to clean and
test Professional XD-Cam discs for re-use.
The success of Tape Check has also led to an increase in demand for
a variety of storage media and accessories (such as batteries,
gaffertape, etc.).
This resulted for G&G Audio/Video Services also a process of growth
with the emphasis at all kinds of video related consumables.
With the acquisition of Quantegy Europe in 2005, we made an
expansion to our range of products with a complete line of professional
audio products. This helped us to make an entry into the Eastern Europe, Middle East
and Asian markets.
In 2008 G&G Audio/Video Services will change its name to
G&G Trading as the product range comprises a growing number of non-audio/video products.
In 2018 is de companyname changed once more to SPITA Smart
Products B.V. making the website & brandname SPITA part of the
companyname.
SPITA will continue to work on new products and solutions for her
customers in order to stay at the front of a fast changing and
developing world.
