Almo Offers Full Line of Nanolumens® Flexible and Rigid Displays; Shown in Almo Booth at DSE 2012

Philadelphia, PA — February 15, 2012 — Almo Professional A/V, the nation’s fastest growing audiovisual distributor, has been named the exclusive national distributor for Nanolumens® Inc., manufacturer of the world’s first line of ultra-slim and lightweight flexible and rigid LED displays for use in spaces previously thought impossible with traditional displays. Nanolumens displays will be shown in the Almo Pro A/V booth during DSE 2012 (Booth #631).

“As the exclusive national distributor of Nanolumens, we’re uniquely positioned to bring an entirely new business opportunity for displays to our reseller partners,” explained Sam Taylor, executive vice president and COO for Almo Professional A/V. “Nanolumens’ patented technology, which enables LED displays to be made in virtually any size, shape or curvature, is perfect for our digital signage and rental and staging integrators.” He continued, “We’ve already established ourselves as the number-one distributor in the U.S. for commercial displays 65-inches and larger. I see Nanolumens breaking into entirely new markets because of their highly customizable nature and at the same time, it will strengthen our core display business.”

Taylor added, “Almo Pro A/V is a third-generation, family-owned American company and we are highly supportive of other domestic companies like Nanolumens, which are not only leading the future for display technology, but are also creating jobs in the U.S. and literally ‘breaking the mold’ of what can be done with displays.”

“Our entire line of flexible and rigid LED displays are now fully commercialized and ready for delivery to customers in virtually every indoor and outdoor vertical market,” said Rick Cope, president and CEO of Nanolumens, Inc.  “We look forward to working closely with Almo’s field sales and support teams to bring the full benefits of our breakthrough, patented display technology to the widest possible audience of customers.”

Almo Pro A/V now carries the full Nanolumens product portfolio, which includes:

  • The NanoFlex™ Family. The first and only display line of its kind designed to curve around contoured walls, wrap around columns and create unique architectural accents. This line includes the NanoFlex 112, NanoFlex Column Wrap and NanoFlex Ribbon.
  • The New NanoSlim™ Family. Designed to provide a sleek display for discerning applications, this line consists of beautiful, thin, lightweight large-format LED displays unlike anything out there today. NanoSlim displays are built to four standard sizes and are water-, dust- and impact-resistant.
  • The New NanoShapes™ Family. Built on the NanoSlim platform, NanoShapes are created in circle, triangle and square shapes to provide a unique display solution for those who think outside the typical display “box.”

Nanolumens’ technology has been recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as a 2011 future-proof tech trend and was cited by The Wall Street Journal in its 2010 Technology Innovations Awards. Nanolumens’ technology also received the “2011 Breakthrough Technology of the Year Award” at the American Technology Awards. And Digital Signage Magazine awarded the Nanolumens NanoFlex a 2011 DIGI Award for “Best New Display Device – Non-LCD or Plasma.”
