MTN BOX®: Spektrum Series Road Cases Nominated for 2016 Parnelli Award – Indispensable Technology

Sticky Post By mountainproductions On September 19, 2016

We’re proud to announce the MTN BOX®: Spektrum Series Road Cases have been nominated for the prestigious 2016 Parnelli Award in Indispensable Staging Technology.

Our team has worked hard to perfect the MTN BOX design over the years through our in-house engineering department, and our Spektrum Series Road Cases have taken the industry by storm. Instead of treating the MTN BOX as just another road case, we knew the potential benefits and long-term positive changes this product could offer to the entertainment, industrial, and construction industries as well as other markets outside of production.

Meet the Mountain: Decades of Experience and a Lifetime of Stories—Ronald Wilkinson

Sticky Post By mountainproductions On September 14, 2016

One of Mountain Productions’ most loyal and experienced team members knows the value of longevity. On June 13, 1984, Ronald “Wilky” Wilkinson was offered a two week job by Steve Thomas that sparked a lifelong career.

This “two week” stint ended up occupying Wilky’s time until Thanksgiving and, in February of 1985, he was invited to the first ever CM Hoist School hosted by Mountain Productions. It was then that he was offered and accepted a full-time position within the growing company.

A Pledge of Excellence: The Value of Environmentally-Friendly, Domestic Production

Sticky Post By mountainproductions On August 31, 2016

The facts are simple. More than 80 percent of consumers agree that they would choose an American-made product given the choice. Nearly 60 percent of American consumers consider environmental impact when choosing a product, and more than half of all American consumers agree that they would pay “a little” to “significantly more” for a product that met their standards for being environmentally friendly.
