October 26, 2009
Brad Gleeson announced this morning that, along with partners Scott Hix and Chilin Technology, he has launched Vertigo Digital Displays. The company has acquired the digital division assets of Vertigo Group, based in Toronto, Canada. A press release issued this morning says "the focus for Vertigo Digital Displays is on the continued development of advanced, engineered outdoor LCD-display solutions first developed by Vertigo Group for the most sophisticated outdoor digital signage applications."
Vertigo customers and projects include the Titan Outdoor Chicago Rail project, Lamar's Vancouver Rail Project and Astral Media's "Info-to-go" digital wayfinding pillars. Vertigo has more than 10,000 advertising displays installed around the world with more than 1000 of these being digital. Vertigo was the first to introduce upgradeable displays that effectively enabled its customers to upgrade products as new display technologies emerge. Managing the new company operations will be Ralph Idems (COO) and Chris Bolton (CTO), along with digital signage industry veteran Brad Gleeson, who will serve as the new company's president and CEO. Gleeson said:
We are pleased and excited to be able to continue the development and delivery of the advanced display solutions first pioneered by Vertigo Group under this newly founded company. We have known Ralph and Chris for several years and have tremendous respect for the products and business they have built. With much of the original team returning, and with the support and encouragement of the previous company's customers and suppliers, as well as our strategic investors at Chilin Technology and TargetPath, we are extremely confident in the future prospects for Vertigo Digital Displays.
