CCS Presentation Systems is expanding into California to reestablish its commercial footprint in the state and extend its partner-led business model across western markets. The commercial audiovisual solutions company, which was honored with Commercial Integrator’s prestigious Integrator of the Year Award in 2013, previously operated in California through 2018. This new launch follows the company’s recent entry into the Pacific Northwest, marking a broader strategic push to secure a stronger presence on the West Coast.

Peter and Sorina Pantis will lead the California operations as partners, directing the company’s commercial efforts throughout the state. The partners plan to serve customers across various sectors, focusing on education, corporate, healthcare and houses of worship.
What is Peter Pantis’ background with the company?
Peter Pantis brings five years of experience working directly for CCS, most recently holding the title of director of technical and installation services. Operating out of Colorado, he previously worked in roles ranging from design engineer to engineering manager, where he helped shape technical standards and deliver complex audiovisual projects for the company.
“California is ready for CCS, and I’m ready for this next step,” Peter Pantis says. “I’ve had the privilege of working with extraordinary teams, and I’m excited to build something meaningful here — a business that demands both technical excellence and accountability.”
How does this impact the company’s national footprint?
The California launch expands the national footprint of CCS Presentation Systems to serve customers through partner networks in 21 states and Washington, D.C. Company leadership views this move as a critical step in building long-term customer trust through regional ownership.
“Peter has been a key contributor to CCS for many years, and his technical depth and leadership make him the right person to lead our return to California,” CCS Presentation Systems CEO Ben Pickrel says. “With Peter and Sorina as partners, we’re reinforcing our commitment to local ownership and long-term customer relationships.”
