CDS Acquires Displaylite: A New Era of Display Innovation Begins
New Acquisition, New Chapter, and New Opportunities
We’re excited to share some monumental news from the world of displays—Crystal Display Systems Limited (CDS) has officially acquired Displaylite Limited, a company renowned for its innovation and 25-year legacy in display and touchscreen technologies.
This strategic acquisition marks a new chapter for both companies and signals a bold step forward for CDS as we continue to strengthen our market position and broaden our technology portfolio. By welcoming Displaylite into the CDS family, we’re not just combining two businesses—we’re blending decades of expertise, forward-thinking innovation, and shared values that revolve around delivering exceptional customer experiences.
Bringing Together Two Display Industry Powerhouses
Displaylite has carved a well-respected niche in the industry with its customised touchscreen solutions and mission-critical display innovations across a wide range of sectors—from high-end retail to air traffic control. Now, by integrating their assets and know-how with our robust infrastructure and global reach, we’re laying the groundwork for a powerful synergy that will benefit customers, partners, and suppliers alike.
Chris Bartram, CEO and Managing Director of CDS, shared his excitement:
“We are thrilled to embark on this new chapter. By combining Displaylite’s assets and expertise with CDS’s strong infrastructure, we anticipate a powerful synergy that will set new benchmarks in the industry. More than just a business decision, it’s about carrying forward a legacy and building upon it.”
