The History of PAG
Based in South West London, PAG was founded by Chief Executive Alan Lavender, in 1968. It was Alan’s technologically advanced post-production equipment for film that built the company during the 1970s.
Portable power demands for the first electronic news gathering cameras in the 1980s, led PAG to develop the industry’s premier battery belts, as well as one of the first battery mounting systems (PAGlok), which was adopted worldwide.
Throughout its history, PAG has been a trailblazer for many broadcast battery innovations, including: microcomputer-controlled fast-charging; run-time information displayed in the camera viewfinder and on the battery; and now intelligent batteries that can be linked for charging and discharging.
Paul Lavender (Alan’s son) is PAG’s Engineering Director and head of the company’s Research and Development Department. Paul specialises in software origination and has more than 20 years experience designing battery and charging products for PAG. The PAGlink battery system features numerous advances in technology that originate from Paul and his team.
