FGV is deeply rooted in the international film industry. With vast experience and an impressive inventory, it has been providing leading production services for decades. Consistent cooperation and communication are vital parts of the company’s knowledge base, enabling clients to perform better, whether with the latest high-tech equipment, the team’s technically demanding solutions, or FGV’s own developments.
