Leyard and Planar, global leaders in visualization products, announced the addition of two showrooms in Irvine, California, and Oakland, California, further expanding the company’s U.S. presence by providing 10 North American showrooms where local sales and product teams can showcase the company’s latest developments and innovations in display technology to local customers.
The introduction of the company’s California showrooms demonstrates Leyard and Planar’s commitment to ongoing leadership in the video wall market and innovation to meet the diverse and growing needs of today’s customers. The company’s showrooms in Irvine and Oakland also follow the introduction of a Toronto showroom in early 2019 as a result of the company’s recent growth in Canada.
Leyard and Planar are also bringing their latest advanced display technologies to customers and partners across the U.S. and Canada at Video Wallapalooza 2019. This year the company’s event series will visit 15 cities, the most in the company’s history of roadshows, showcasing groundbreaking next-generation LED and LCD video walls, as well as transparent OLED, 4K and interactive display solutions.
“We’re excited to take our newest display innovations on the road,” said Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Pro Services Adam Schmidt. “Today’s highly competitive industry needs reliable, flexible and engaging display technologies that can help elevate stories for partners and customers, and at this year’s Video Wallapalooza visitors will experience our most comprehensive presentation of award-winning display solutions.
