NanoLumens Ranked #267 on Inc. Magazine's 2015 List of the Nation's 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies

Inc. magazine’s 2015 list of the nation’s 5000 fastest growing private companies is out and NanoLumens, Inc. (www.nanolumens.com), a visualization solution (“digital display”) provider that delivers value, advertising revenue, experience creation, and customer engagement has recently been named Gwinnett County’s #1 fastest growing company, Georgia’s 15th fastest growing company and the nation’s #267th fastest growing company.

“We provide solutions to problems that haven’t been thought of yet by others, and our ability to do this for customers around the world is driving our success,” CEO Rick Cope (an entrepreneur, former combat commander and Special Operations advisor to General Norman Schwarzkopf) said today, “This achievement stems from the vision, commitment, and can-do spirit of the entire NanoLumens team who believe that Made in America is not a statement about our past but a promise about our future as Americans competing in a global economy.” 

With a three-year growth rate of 1692%, NanoLumens redefines the way architects, designers, integrators, retailers, casino operators and event/convention center organizers engage with their customers through LED display solutions in any size, shape, or curvature.  The company’s ability to listen to a customer’s needs and then respond with a unique solution that no one else can match has resulted in record-breaking sales for NanoLumens in an industry dominated by Asian manufacturers. 

Because of this extraordinary American-made quality NanoLumens is also the only display designer in the field to offer customers an unconditional Six Year, Zero Failure Warranty that covers the entire display from corner to corner, including all parts and controller devices sold by NanoLumens to end users, resellers, and distributors, effective from the date of shipment.

The solutions on display in the new showroom include NanoSlim, NanoSlim Engage, NanoCurve, NanoWrap, and NanoClear.  The new showroom is located at 10 Argyle Street, Bath, BA2 4BQ UK and the phone number is +44(0) 1225 439780.     

NanoLumens® Helps Transform Three-Story Shopping Mall Atrium Into 21st Century Advertising Medium

A three-story tall open space situated in the busiest part of the largest shopping mall in the western suburbs of Brisbane, Australia might be called an “atrium” by some people, but the team at Eureka Funds Management (www.eurekafam.au), owner of the Indooroopilly Shopping Center, understood that the space could become a revenue-generating 21st Century advertising medium —provided they could find the right visualization partner to put their plan into action.  They found that partner in NanoLumens (www.nanolumens.com), the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of visualization solutions.

“The Indooroopilly Shopping Center has recently undergone a major renovation,” explained Rachele Godridge, Asset Manager at Eureka Funds Management.  “As a result, it is now the largest shopping center in the western suburbs of Brisbane and houses David Jones, Myer, Target, Kmart, Coles, Woolworths, Queensland’s first H&M store, and a selection of international and Australian designers. Leading fashion brands include Armani Collezioni, Ted Baker, Hugo Boss, Brooks Brothers, Carla Zampatti, Scanlan Theodore, Sass & Bide, Zimmermann, and Camilla.  It is definitely THE destination to go to for shoppers in the region.”

Godridge and her mall management team at Indooroopilly Business Partnerships (IBP) understood the revenue generating potential of a large visualization solution that could be hung in the center of the three-story atrium area. IBP’s mission is to create exciting opportunities for the center’s retail partners to communicate their sales message in ways that generate immediate feedback. The team strives to provide its retail partners with distinct advertising and marketing programs that influence their purchase path while they’re in the mall. 

“The design of the Indooroopilly Shopping Center runs along straight lines, which means that the right visualization solution can be seen from virtually every angle of approach by every shopper in the mall,” Godridge explained.  “We worked with Digital Place Solutions (www.digitalplacesolutions.com) to create a design that would absolutely galvanize the attention of shoppers, thus providing us with an advertising medium that would help our retail partners to communicate directly with their customers, no matter where they were in the mall.”

As the principles of Australia’s leading digital display and place based media consultancy, Stephen Rubie and Gerry Thorley are deeply experienced in helping proactive clients to gain a competitive edge through the design of customer engagement solutions that stand out from the crowd of traditional “digital signage.”  “We knew from the start that NanoLumens could imagine and execute a compelling, revenue-generating solution that was also cost-effective, space-efficient and eco-friendly,” Rubie explained. 

That solution, according to Rubie, is now suspended in the center of the massive atrium area located in the northern end of the mall, just outside the main anchor stores of Myer Department Store, Coles, and Woolworths (FMCG Supermarkets).  “The IBP team was challenged with a large atrium space and a very limited weight capacity loading in the ceiling to hang a display.  The NanoLumens visualization solution provides the perfect mix of high resolution, high impact LED display with a very lightweight and ultra-slim profile to meet the aesthetic objectives of the mall. 

“The attributes of the NanoLumens solution made it possible for the mall to select an appropriately sized display for the atrium without requiring any structural support works to be carried out in the ceiling,” Rubie explained. “The installation process was made simple with the display being partially fabricated in sections on the floor of the mall with each piece lifted into place with a portable mini crane. The display was completed within three days and was raised to its final suspension system 14m above the floor using the mini crane.  The slim line display and low profile suspension rigging provide the visual appearance of an elegant image floating in the atrium space.”

The 6mm pixel pitch double-sided digital banner measures 7mX4m (23’X13’), is 160mm (6.5”) thick, weighs less than 1,500 Kgs (3,307 pounds) installed and draws less power than a typical vacuum cleaner. 

“We’re extremely proud to have the opportunity to put our creative imaginations to work for such a forward-looking client,” NanoLumens’ Vice President of Strategic Accounts, Almir DeCarvalho, said today.  “It is precisely clients like the IBP and Eureka Funds Management teams that are going to help reinvent the retail shopping experience for a 21st century consumer audience.  We’re glad to be part of their team!”

NanoLumens NanoSlim Engage 1.8MM LED Display Wins Digital Signage Magazine Best of Show Award at InfoComm 2015

Underscoring its ability to continually redefine benchmark performance standards for LED display technology, NanoLumens (www.nanolumens.com), the industry leading manufacturer and marketer of visualization solutions, today announced that it has been awarded a Digital Signage Magazine InfoComm Best of Show Award for its next-generation NanoSlim Engage 1.8MM pixel pitch solution. The announcement was made at InfoComm 2015 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

NewBay Media presents the Digital Signage Magazine Best of Show Awards, honoring outstanding products exhibited at the InfoComm show. Panels of professional users and NewBay Media editors select winners based on product descriptions as well as on judges’ inspection on the convention show floor.

“It’s truly an honor to receive a Best of Show Award from a prestigious publication like Digital Signage Magazine,” NanoLumens Executive Vice President of Business Development Burt Smith stated. “At NanoLumens, we’re dedicated to providing our customers with the best selection of visualization solutions for any project. The new NanoSlim Engage 1.8MM display demonstrates this commitment by being the world’s slimmest visualization solution available in any size or shape, completely bezel-free.”

The first product in the NanoLumens NanoSlim Engage line featured a 2.5MM pixel pitch and it was introduced to the world at ISE 2015 in Amsterdam.  It was the first LED display solution able to be front-installed and front- serviced and is designed to allow customers to engage their audiences up close and personal.  The high resolution, large-scale visualization solution came backed by an unprecedented corner-to-corner six-year warranty and is designed to serve as the ideal display solution for boardrooms, command and control centers, and other areas where clear and up-close viewing is required. 

The 1.8MM pixel pitch version of NanoSlim Engage introduced at InfoComm 2015 goes even further, delivering impeccable clarity and brilliance with one of the tightest pixel pitch available on the market today. “The introduction of a NanoSlim Engage solution that offers an even tighter pixel pitch than the solution introduced a few short months ago demonstrates our company’s ability to redefine standards we ourselves set,” Smith emphasized.

NanoLumens displays are extremely slim, ultra-lightweight, energy efficient, and feature a bright, seamless, high resolution picture quality that can be viewed from any angle throughout the display horizon without color shift or image distortion. The company’s patented display technology and highly innovative products are transforming the way companies engage their audiences in every type of higher education, retail, hospitality, stadium, arena, casino, transportation and public event environment.

All NanoLumens displays accept input from nearly any device or content management system. There is no need for additional software, hardware or specialized personnel to display content beautifully.  With a profile of only a few inches, NanoSlim displays can be installed on virtually any surface without being obtrusive, adding the ‘WOW’ factor to any environment without taking up precious space. NanoLumens’ patented display technology is optimized for indoor use, operating with minimal heat and no noise while producing bright, rich, consistent color as well as superior off-axis viewing with no color shift or image distortion throughout the display horizon.

39-Foot Curved NanoLumens® Visualization Solutions Touch Down at London Stansted Airport

London’s Stansted Airport is taking its on-site customer messaging capabilities to a whole new level with the recent installation of a 39-foot (12 meter) NanoLumens® large scale visualization solution that is being utilized to provide advertising space to marketers along with flight information and airport updates.  The massive passenger-engagement solution is the first curved screen to be installed at any airport in the United Kingdom.

Airport advertising agency Eye Airports recently stated that the new addition helps to transform advertising at airports, noting that the solution offers an unparalleled platform for advertisers to inspire and strongly engage with airport audiences. With a second NanoLumens solution going up soon, this marks the latest in Eye Airports' recently announced £8 million “Redefining Airports” investment spanning London’s Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted, Bristol and Newcastle Airports. The project aims to offer bold new digital opportunities for advertisers and is said to be the largest investment in UK Airport advertising this decade.

According to NanoLumens EMEA Managing Director David DaCosta, “Airports have a unique need to deliver important information right alongside advertising to tens of thousands of people every day. By utilizing our one-of-a-kind technology, Stansted Airport is making it easier for their customers to find their flight information as well as providing an advertising platform that simply can’t be missed. The display’s curvature attracts the eye and stands as an interesting piece in itself, as people don’t often see such a large digital display, let alone one that curves along a wall.”

London’s Stansted Airport offers more scheduled European destinations than any other UK Airport and is currently the fastest growing major airport in the country serving over 20 million passengers each year. The brightness and sheer size of the NanoLumens solution will serve to make it easy for flyers to quickly find their flight information, as well as for advertisers to have a truly captivating medium to display their messaging.

The gateway is currently undergoing a significant re-development with an £80 million terminal transformation project due to be completed later this year as part of a wider £260 million investment program. 

ADXBA (www.adxba.co.uk) is a respected and established company within the aviation Industry that works directly with a number of airports along with various media owners and agencies. Due to their expertise ADXBA was approached to design, fabricate and install the NanoLumens solution. Another facet to the project was creating a bespoke software management solution for Stansted airport allowing the display and control of both flight information and advertising content. ADXBA’s in house software department worked closely with Stansted Airports IT department and EYE Airports to deliver this completely integrated digital solution.

According to ADXBA Managing Director Jim Kerr, ADXBA successfully completed and delivered the project on time and within budget. “We were excited to be approached for this unique opportunity at Stansted and obviously delighted in playing an integral part in the modernization of Stansted Airport. This project had a number of challenges for us and we are extremely proud with how we overcame these in delivering a fantastic and effective solution.”
