Across our articles and video coverage, we offer buy links to products available at both retailers so our readers can quickly find and purchase the gear we review, test, and cover. With CineD headquartered in Austria, this expansion into the DACH region hits particularly close to home for us.<\/p>\n<p>The move builds on CVP\u2019s existing European headquarters in Belgium, which\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/cvp-opens-european-facility-to-provide-duty-free-shipping-to-all-eu-customers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">opened in 2021<\/a>\u00a0as the company\u2019s first response to post-Brexit trade friction for EU customers. With this latest step, CVP is deepening its commitment to mainland Europe by targeting the entire German-speaking market directly.<\/p>\n<p>A familiar face from the industry<\/p>\n<p>Ren\u00e9 van der Reiden, Managing Director of CVP Europe, has appointed Marco M\u00fcller as Sales Director to lead the new DACH operation. M\u00fcller spent nearly 20 years in the film and broadcast industry, initially working as a 1st AC on productions including Bergdoktor and Rosamunde Pilcher before moving into a 2nd unit camera operator role. Since 2016, he has been on the commercial side, most recently serving as Senior Key Account Manager at BPM (later Teltec), where he specialized in drama, documentary, and corporate production clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a clear gap in the German market, and with CVP, my team and I are excited to bring our expertise to help clients deliver successful projects without having to worry about the technical side,\u201d M\u00fcller said.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Marco_Mueller_CVP-900x675.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-419235\"  \/>Marco M\u00fcller, new CVP Sales Director for the DACH region. Image credit: CVPWhat the DACH operation will offer<\/p>\n<p>The new operation promises the same infrastructure CVP has built elsewhere: extensive stock, fast delivery, Pro Repairs &amp; Engineering capabilities, transparent landed costs, and local sales support backed by CVP\u2019s international network. For filmmakers and production companies across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, that combination of local presence and global supply chain could prove attractive, particularly for those who need reliable, fast turnaround on both new gear and servicing.<\/p>\n<p>One area CVP is specifically highlighting is its <a href=\"https:\/\/cvp.com\/department\/used-and-showroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Used Marketplace and Auctions platform<\/a>. The ability to buy and sell pre-owned equipment both locally and internationally is something CVP sees as an underserved niche within the German-speaking market. For productions looking to stretch budgets or offload older inventory, a well-run used gear platform with proper engineering checks behind it is a genuine value-add.<\/p>\n<p>A growing European strategy<\/p>\n<p>CVP\u2019s European Managing Director Ren\u00e9 van der Reiden framed the expansion as part of a broader mission. \u201cAt CVP, our mission is to empower creators at every level, from independent operators to major production companies, by providing the infrastructure, expertise, and international support they need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The DACH region collectively represents one of Europe\u2019s largest markets for film, television, and commercial production. Having a local team that understands the regulatory landscapes, speaks the language, and can offer same-region logistics across all three countries is a practical advantage that pure UK-based ordering cannot match, even with the Belgium warehouse already in play.<\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure: when you use <a href=\"https:\/\/cvp.com\/?aff_id=101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CVP<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/?BI=7953&amp;KBID=8488&amp;DFF=d10-v1-t8-x4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">B&amp;H<\/a> buy links in our articles and videos to purchase gear, CineD earns a small commission at no extra cost to you.
