CMD & The Kitchen Team for Dubbing & Media Services

MIAMI: Cisneros Media Distribution (CMD) and language translation, dubbing and subtitling studio The Kitchen have formed a strategic alliance to offer specialized dubbing services for Spanish-speaking markets, effective immediately.

With the new partnership, The Kitchen will serve as the exclusive sales and marketing agent for Latin Spanish dubbing worldwide, and CMD will be the exclusive provider of the voices from its large cast of actors under contract with affiliated production companies in Venezuela. The Kitchen will share its dubbing expertise and Emmy-winning language technology with CMD. The alliance will also allow The Kitchen to increase its offerings of post-production and media services, using those offered by Cisneros Media’s companies for the past half century.

“We always look to continue to diversify and strengthen our position in the industry, and through this alliance with The Kitchen, we are expanding our business model to offer additional services to our clientele; it’s a natural progression for us,” stated Cosme Lopez, the senior VP and general manager of pay-TV channels and services at CMD. “We’ve known of The Kitchen’s professionalism and vast experience in the language business, and we look forward to extending this alliance in the coming years. Together, our goal is not only to become the leader in Spanish-language dubbing for the Americas, but to increase our reach and services to become the principal provider of multi-lingual dubbing in the world market.”

Ken Lorber, the president and CEO of The Kitchen, noted: “While The Kitchen has always offered Latin Spanish dubbing in our Miami facility, it was difficult to offer competitive pricing for the Latin, or Neutral Spanish markets. Our goal, for the past 15 years, has always been to look for better ways in which to service our global clients, and we couldn’t be more excited by this new alliance, which allows us to do just that.”

Lorber continued: “Our Miami studios specialize in providing dubbing and subtitling into U.S. English, Parisian French, Brazilian Portuguese, as well as other languages. Working together with Cisneros Media Distribution, we will be able to share an abundance of knowledge, experience and talent, while offering the most competitive Latin Spanish dubbing rates in the industry, as well as other media services in the market.”

“This is a great business opportunity for Cisneros Media Distribution and The Kitchen,” Lorber added. “We’re offering the very best of both worlds, putting all of our services and resources into this new venture, combining the Emmy Award-winning technology and language service experience of The Kitchen, and the multi-faceted and global media expertise of Cisneros Media Distribution.”
