Richardson launches new brand for displays group

Richardson Electronics has formally launched a new brand identity for its display systems group, called Canvys – Visual Technology Solutions.

Canvys is composed of three industry vendors—Pixelink, A.C.T. Kern and Image Systems.

Canvys said it will leverage its relationships with component and finished-goods manufacturers. The hardware and software partnerships allow Canvys to maintain a ‘vendor-agnostic’ approach. The LaFox, Ill.-based company said it provides a variety of services, including 24/7 support, on-site solution audits, product demonstrations, installations and QC/QA testing.
