With a portfolio of more than 125,000 commercial locations around the world, Stingray Business is focused on providing licensed background music and digital displays for a variety of businesses and retail outlets.

“Our next phase of expansion in the United States solidifies our position as a global leading music provider for businesses while making way for innovative, data-driven solutions,” he added.

In addition to the representation of products and services, the deal also includes an exclusive option for Stingray to acquire Space Factory Media at a pre-determined purchase price.
