Rochester, UK, based Crystal Display Systems(CDS), a specialist provider of industrial displays, touchscreens, control electronics and customised display solutions, has purchased the assets of Munich-based Display & Control (D&C).
D&C has developed strong expertise in customised displays, LCD-TFT control solutions, scaler and interface boards, embedded technologies, and hardware and software development. These capabilities will complement CDS’s established product portfolio, engineering resources, supply-chain infrastructure and international customer base.
For CDS, the purchase represents a significant step in its European growth strategy. It will provide a stronger commercial and technical platform for serving customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, while enabling closer local engagement with German-speaking OEMs, systems integrators and industrial technology businesses. Customers will benefit from access to a broader range of display, touch, control and embedded solutions, supported by expanded technical knowledge and the service-led approach for which CDS is known.
“This is a strategically important investment for CDS and creates clear value for customers. D&C has built valuable technical know-how, strong market relationships and an excellent reputation in display control and customised industrial solutions. By combining those assets with CDS’s wider product portfolio, commercial reach and customer support infrastructure, we can create new opportunities, accelerate innovation and provide an even stronger service to customers across Germany and the wider DACH region,” said Chris Bartram, Managing Director, Crystal Display Systems.
“CDS is a very suitable home for the assets and expertise developed by D&C. Over the years both organisations have followed a practical, engineering-led approach focused on solving real customer challenges. The transaction offers continuity for existing relationships, greater scale and access to a broader portfolio, while preserving the specialist knowledge built up by D&C. I believe this step can create long-term value for customers and partners,” added Norbert Erhart, former Managing Director, Display & Control
CDS will work with customers, suppliers and partners to support a smooth transition and to identify opportunities arising from the expanded portfolio and regional presence.
