Account Manager Brendan O'Reilly visits Electronica 2014

Electronica 2014 is Europe’s largest electronics exhibition, and celebrating its 50^th anniversary, it was a date secured in our diaries. With our sister company Components Bureau exhibiting at the show for the first time and a number of our suppliers having stands, Account Manager Brendan O’Reilly flew out to be a part of the show.

Brendan has been spending the past couple of days in Hall A3, where our suppliers Litemax and Innodisplay were exhibiting alongside some key players in the embedded and digital signage industries. The Account Manager explains “It is important to visit shows where our suppliers are exhibiting to keep up to date with the latest technologies which are being demonstrated. Trade shows are a fantastic opportunity for us to spot trends and network to find out more about what visitors are looking for. Electronica has a number of big names exhibiting alongside smaller companies, so it is always interesting to compare and speak to members on different levels and in different markets."

Our partner Litemax had an impressive variety of their sunlight readable and stretched displays on show. The Litemax display range can be used for indoor and outdoor applications, with previous installs including ticketing machines, information displays and kiosks.
