Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

We were curious about the companies involved in the Trans-Lux Corporation – Retop Industrial (Hong Kong) Limited collaboration noted earlier today which J.M. Allain, president and CEO of Trans-Lux says, “changes the landscape of our global business operations, and will lead to much lower raw material costs and solution pricing for our customers.

New York-based Trans-Lux designs and manufactures TL Vision and TL Energy LED video displays and lighting solutions for the financial, sports and entertainment, gaming, education, government, and commercial markets. Retop has been Trans-Lux’s top supplier for many years.

Among Trans-Lux many installations are: Sheridan College, Mississauga, Brampton and Oakville campuses; Regent Park, Toronto; TD Waterhouse, Coquitlam B.C.; Milton Center for the Arts, Milton, Ontario; and high schools in Texas, Oklahoma and Michigan. The company’s LED display systems are also currently deployed globally, via supplier agreements with two recognized and established leaders in the electronics industry who are privately branding Trans-Lux LED displays.

Recent innovations at Trans-Lux include TL Vision LED Cabinet Systems that virtually eliminate common alignment issues, expedite display set-up time and reduce overall costs; a 1.5mm pitch LED display that Trans-Lux says rivals HD flat screen image quality and is ‘already ready’ for 4K resolution LED display imaging; and the Epic Series LED System Software Suite that the company claims makes LED display set-up, control and content management easier and more efficient.

“I could not be more bullish about our future,” says Allain. “If you compare where we are now to just a few years ago, our staff deserves great credit for a truly transformative evolution. Our shareholders and customers should benefit greatly from our relationship with Retop and the products and services to which it will lead.”
