Notes to Editors
Â
Zytronic is the developer and manufacturer of a unique range of internationally award-winning touch sensor products.
Â
These products employ an embedded sensing element and are based around projected capacitive technology ("PCT"(â„¢)) sensing. PCT offers significant durability, environmental stability and optical enhancement benefits to system designers of touch interactive, industrial, self-service and public access equipment.
Â
During 2012, Zytronic developed new know-how to create mutual projected capacitive technology ("MPCT"(â„¢)) which enables multi-user and multi-touch touch sensing in ultra-large form factor sizes up to 84".
Â
Operating from three modern factories near Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the United Kingdom, Zytronic assembles touch sensors using special glass and plastic materials, in environmentally controlled clean rooms.
