“It reflects Coretronic’s strategy to strengthen its leading position in display and image processing technology with a rich set of capabilities afforded by the Calibre team," said SY Chen, president at Coretronic, Taiwan. "This will help Coretronic Group with its plans to further advance in the pro AV markets as well as assisting with entry into the rapidly expanding direct-view LED display markets. The acquisition will accelerate the company into new markets as well as to help Coretronic continue to drive its move to being an all-round display systems provider.
