eyevis rebrands following acquisition of partner

Burnley-based video wall and visual display specialist eyevis UK has become Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) after its German partner was bought by the Leyard group.

eyevis UK Ltd operated as a private entity from eyevis GmbH (Germany) and was the sole UK distributor of its video walls and video wall technology.

UVS will remain the UK partner for eyevis products and services, and can now expand its range to include Leyard-Planar products.

Managing director Steve Murphy said the takeover of eyevis GmbH by Leyard provided a good opportunity to reassess the UK operation.

He said: “This move was made solely to allow the company to better market the full range of products and services which we can offer and our business remains outstandingly successful, with turnover during the financial year ending May 2018 increasing by more than 20 per cent.

“First quarter results for the financial year starting in June are also at record levels.

Rainer Link, sales director Leyard EMEA International, commented: “eyevis UK has been a significant and important partner for us during the past 11 years and we look forward to continuing the relationship under the rebranding to UVS.”

UVS projects range from a single display screen in a conference room to a multi-screen video wall system within a 24/7, mission-critical operation such as a Data Centre or a Police Special Operations Room. The business, based at the Business First Burnley Business Centre is led by four senior colleagues who, between them, have more than 70 years’ combined audio-visual, control room and visual solutions experience.
