Latin America. After having several inconveniences due to the pandemic generated by Covid 19, the joint operation of the new company Sharp NEC Display Solutions began on November 1.
This company arises from the union of Sharp Corporation and NEC Corporation with their display division. The previously announced transaction to form a joint venture was achieved through the acquisition of 66% of the shares of NEC Display Solutions Ltd, NDS.
In connection with the completion of the transaction, NDS has changed its company name to Sharp NEC Display Solutions Ltd., "SNDS", and has commenced business operations as a subsidiary of Sharp. The newly formed SNDS will continue its focus on the BtoB display business, producing and developing a wide range of visual display solutions for a variety of markets and applications.
Fujikazu Nakayama, senior chief executive officer and president of Sharp's commercial solutions business unit, will serve as president of the new business and Hisatsugu Nakatani, president of NEC Display Solutions, will serve as president of SNDS.
This new company represents an ongoing commitment to the visualization solutions business. Both the Sharp and NDS display businesses are two market-leading brands in the production and development of visual solutions, and the Sharp-NEC joint venture will result in a wide range of synergies. Known worldwide for its commitment to high-quality products, focused on customer service and exceptional partner relationships, SNDS approaches this new opportunity with plans to continue offering innovative, high-quality solutions to its customers around the world.
