Board Changes

Zytronic, the North-East of England based leading specialist manufacturer of touch sensors for self-service, gaming and industrial applications, announces the following future Board changes.

Having stayed on to support the business in navigating the significant challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore having now served for more than 10 years as Non-executive Chair, Tudor Davies has informed the Board of his intention to both step down as Non-executive Chair and resign from the Board, with effect from the date of the Company's next AGM, which is expected to be held in February 2022.

The Board is pleased to confirm that Tudor will be succeeded as Non-executive Chair by David Buffham, currently a Non-executive Director, and that they are initiating the recruitment of a new Independent Non-executive Director to take over David's responsibilities.

Mark Cambridge, CEO of Zytronic, commented: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our gratitude to Tudor for his invaluable contribution, support and guidance over his tenure. We are pleased that Tudor is handing on the baton to David who, together with Tudor, has provided valuable stewardship during the pandemic and subsequent recovery in trading performance."

Zytronic will report its results for the year to 30 September 2021 during the week of 6 December 2021.

Zytronic is a world-renowned developer and manufacturer of a unique range of internationally award winning optically transparent interactive touch sensor overlay products for use with electronic displays in industrial, self-service and public access equipment.

Zytronic's products employ a sensing solution that is readily configurable and embedded in a laminate core that offers significant durability, environmental stability and optical enhancement benefits to system designers specific requirements.

Zytronic operates from a single site near Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the United Kingdom. Zytronic is relatively unique in the touch eco-system as it offers a complete one-stop solution from processing internally the form and factor of the glass substrates, assembles their touch overlay products to customers specific requirements, in environmentally controlled cleanrooms and develops the bespoke firmware, software and electronic hardware to link the interactive overlays to customer's integrated systems and products.
