ZetaDisplay, the Swedish-headquartered vendor of digital signage systems, says its presence across the Nordic region is helping it land contracts from end users looking for a one-stop-shop supplier.

Among its most recent clients is the Norwegian parking operator EuroPark, which will use screens to replace existing printed material in parking areas.

“We see our co-operation with EuroPark as a success for our strategy in acting as a pan-Nordic supplier, whereby our subsidiaries operate as local suppliers in each country. We are seeing a marked increase in the demand for a Nordic player within digital signage,” said ZetaDisplay’s CEO Leif Liljebrunn.

Two of the biggest digital out-of-home operators in the U.S. are joining forces to rapidly develop a screen network in quick-service restaurants.

Technicolor-owned Premier Retail Networks (PRN) and privately-held IndoorDirect have formed what they are describing as a joint venture, which aims to double the size of the latter’s existing Restaurant Entertainment Network by the middle of thus year.

Currently with displays in around 1200 fast-food venues in the U.S., including outlets of Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Denny’s, Carl’s Jr., Hardee’s and Arby’s, the network is set to grow to 2500 locations within the next six months. In its present form it reaches about 150m consumers annually.

PRN will own 50 percent of the new venture, with the other half taken by investors, of which Syncom Venture Partners is the largest. Syncom is an existing investor in IndoorDirect.
