LCA Lights, Camera, Action, a leading supplier of professional lighting, grip and associated technologies to the film, television and broadcast industries, has announced the opening of a new office in Barcelona, Spain.

The Barcelona office will be headed by Rubén Freixas alongside Adrià Lorente, with both bringing extensive industry knowledge and long-standing relationships within the Spanish market. 

In a press release, the organisation said: “This expansion reflects LCA’s ongoing commitment to supporting the European production community with local expertise, training, and access to the latest in lighting innovation.”

Nick Shapley, managing director at LCA, said: “Spain has become one of Europe’s most dynamic centres for film and television production. 

“The opening of our Barcelona office ensures that productions in the region have direct access not only to the very best tools, but also to the knowledge and support that have defined LCA for more than 25 years.”
