NanoLumens Receives 2015 Best of Norcross Award for Business Excellence

NanoLumens, the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of visualization solutions, is the recipient of a 2015 Best of Norcross Award (www.norcross.condston.net) for manufacturing excellence, according to an announcement made today by NanoLumens Vice President of Marketing & Business Development Nathan Remmes.

The Norcross Award Program is an annual awards program honoring the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses throughout the Norcross, Georgia area. Recognition is given to those companies that have shown the ability to use their best practices and implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value.

“We’re honored to receive a Best of Norcross Award this year,” Remmes stated. “NanoLumens is totally dedicated to setting and maintaining a complete set of best practices manufacturing standards.  The recognition of our local business community means the world to us.”

Each year, the Norcross Award Program identifies companies that have achieved exceptional marketing success in the Norcross community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community. These exceptional companies help make the Norcross area a great place to live, work and play.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2015 Norcross Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Norcross Award Program and data provided by third parties.

“Norcross is a community that we’re proud to be a part of,” Remmes added. “It’s truly an honor to be acknowledged by the Norcross Award Program and receive this local support.”

NanoLumens Advises Brick and Mortar Retailers to Think Out of the Box When It Comes to Engaging Their Customers

With the battle between e-commerce and retail locations constantly intensifying, NanoLumens, the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of visualization solutions, is advising attendees of GlobalShop 2015 to start thinking out of the box if they hope to stop the flight of consumers from brick and mortar retailers to online shopping.  

NanoLumens will be exhibiting its visualization solutions at Booth #1901 in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from March 24-26, 2015.  The company’s capabilities will also be immediately apparent to every GlobalShop attendee who walks through the main entrance of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.  That’s because Emerald Expositions, producers of the GlobalShop Show, have partnered with NanoLumens to create a spectacular interactive entrance to GlobalShop 2015.

“In many cases, traditional retailers are in danger of falling behind online retailers, so it will be interesting to see if, when, and how they respond to the ever-expanding digital age,” said Nate Remmes, NanoLumens Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “With e-commerce continuing to expand at a dramatic rate, the need for brick and mortar fulfillment could diminish if retailers don’t do something quickly to enhance the in-store experience for their customers.”

Retail stores are still the launch point for companies to tell their brand story and introduce their new lines, particularly when it comes to fashion, Remmes explained. “It’s precisely this human experience that allows retail stores to compete with online retailers, but it is going to take a new kind of retail environment to capture the imagination and loyalty of 21st century consumers. The rise of intelligent visualization solutions —solutions that truly engage and hold a customer’s attention— is a very exciting development that store designers need to pay very close attention to. Digital solutions with this type of technology incorporated into stores will create and enhance the retail experience and also increase the efficiency of sales.” 

The most challenging aspect is incorporating technology that doesn’t take over the design elements of the brand and store. “The great thing about NanoLumens is that we create customized visualization solutions in any shape, size, or curvature; solutions that merge with the design elements of the store,” Remmes continued. “Most traditional solutions are simply ‘displays’ that come in a fixed 16:9 aspect ratio—but we realize that every brand has unique design requirements. Most technology manufacturers don’t acknowledge that what they offer needs to be in rhythm with the experience being created in a store. This gives us an edge that really can’t be matched by any other company.”

NanoLumens works with retailers and retail designers to create visualization solutions that are unique to the brand, the location and the story. Through this creation of digital visualization, NanoLumens empowers retailers to create experiences, evoke emotion and tell their brand’s story, which ultimately will sell more products, according to Remmes. “By turning the retail store into a unique media platform, NanoLumens helps the retailer create a unique experience on the final station of the Omni-channel path to purchase.”

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 promise to transform 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 special software, hardware or special 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 virtually zero heat or 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.

NanoLumens® Introduces Breakthrough in Large Format Visualization at Integrated Systems Europe 2015

NanoLumens®, the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of visualization solutions in any size, shape, or curvature, last week took the systems integration industry by storm with the introduction of the world’s first front installable, front serviceable 2.5MM visual display — the NanoSlim Engage — at the Integrated Systems Europe exhibition in Amsterdam, where it was immediately named Product of the Month by the leading European systems integration magazine, Installation.

“This remarkable advance in visualization technology was immediate received by the European systems integration community for what it is,” Nate Remmes, NanoLumens’ Vice President of Marketing and Business Development said today. “NanoSlim Engage is a great step forward for designers, integrators, and end-users who are demanding an easy-to-install and easy-to-service 2.5MM pixel pitch solution that can be viewed with spectacular edge-to-edge clarify from very short distances.  NanoSlim Engage is the first and only solution that makes this possible practical for a broad range of smaller installation environments like conference rooms, board rooms, and command and control centers.”

And, like all NanoLumens solutions, NanoSlim Engage comes supported by the industry’s only six year, zero failure warranty.

The introduction of the NanoLumens’ NanoSlim Engage comes at a time of record- breaking growth and expansion for the pioneering Georgia-based company that developed the world’s first flexible LED visual display.  In October 2014 the company opened its EMEA region office and showroom in the UK and named industry veteran David DaCosta to serve as its Managing Director in the region. In December, the company ended a year that resulted in explosive revenue growth.  In January 2015 the company announced that it had secured $13.3-million in new financing from an offering of debt and securities. And all of this occurred against a backdrop of major new sales to blue chip clients in the retail, transportation, hospitality, higher education, stadiums, corporate, and gaming channels.

NanoLumens’ current clients include a broad range of marketers covering the fields of broadcast, casinos, control rooms, convention centers, DOOH, higher education, hospitality, retail, stadiums, and transportation including Estee Lauder, Delta Airlines, Holt-Renfrew, TD Garden, CBS Outdoor, Charles Schwab, Invesco, Louisiana State University and the Minneapolis Convention Center, among many others. 

“Supported by a base of strong and loyal customers who are making deep investments in our vision, we expect the company to double in size again in 2015,” Remmes emphasized today.  “Four years after introducing our first commercial product in 2011, we are poised to create scalable visualization solutions that result in immersive consumer experiences that businesses need and consumers crave in our increasingly mobile, interconnected world.”

NanoLumens visualization solutions 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.
