The Digital Signage ExpertRegardless of its size or industry, when a company’s stated goal is to be the best in the world at what they do, you know they’re accustomed to aiming high and thinking big. In the case of Samco Machinery Limited, a Canadian company whose vision is “To be the World’s Leading Rollforming Systems Manufacturer,” that kind of thinking is reflected not only in its world class products, but also in its world class workplace.
Project Summary
Founded in 1972, Samco recently topped off a steady succession of plant expansions — which have grown their facilities from 200 to 80,000 square feet over the years — with a complete renovation of their front offices. As part of those renovations, they called Rise Display in to install a new LCD display in the reception area, as a replacement for the old letter board they used previously to display greetings and messages to visitors.
“We display the names of customers who visit for the day, and we wanted to go ‘above and beyond’ this simple process,” said Samco President and COO Bob Repovs. “After we renovated our entire offices, we needed a more professional Reception Greeting Board.”
They considered various options, including LED displays, but in the end decided to opt for what they considered to be the most modern-looking solution, a dynamic 40″ NEC LCD display mounted prominently in the reception area.
In addition to providing the hardware and installation services, Rise also hosts and manages the content of the Samco display and provides the company with online access to its unique Rise Display Wire software, which gives Samco the power to enter and display their own daily messages on the board.
