ZYTRONIC PLC
£5 million contracts in the banking sector
Zytronic Plc ('the Company') the specialist manufacturer of touchscreens and
optical filters for electronic displays, announces a further contract win in the
banking sector for its specialist touchscreen technology ('Zytouch'). Zytouch
is now being sold to two major international companies in the banking arena.
This will result in total expected volumes of 40,000 units at an estimated value
of over £5 million over three years. Both contracts are of a long term nature
generating an increasing revenue stream.
The specially developed high performance touchscreens give high readability in
differing light conditions, fast response to the touch and reliability of
performance in all situations. They are designed to be weatherproof and vandal
resistant. Zytronic won the contracts as a result of proven reliability under
arduous test conditions.
The new order comes as a result of the development and marketing agreement with
Synaptics Incorporated of San Jose, California which is the acknowledged leader
in touchpad and other human interface solutions and is behind the electronic
technology for 60% of the world's mobile phones and PDAs. Synaptics provide the
electronics controller and software to drive the Zytronic touchscreen with this
new contract
Ian Lawson, Chief Executive, Zytronic Plc stated:
'These orders, one of which arose from our agreement with Synaptics, emphasise
Zytouch's unique position in the world marketplace and build upon the recently
announced Marconi contract, for its advanced interactive public web phones.
'We are confident that these touchscreens will demonstrate just how far ahead of
the market Zytouch is and will assist us in opening up the enormous
opportunities, in various markets that are available.
'Synaptics is a prime example of the partners we are now associated with who
have the infrastructure in place for the rapid rollout of our technology.'
