Our award winning projected capacitive touch technology products are being used in a range of industrial and public access and service applications such as information and financial kiosks, digital signage, ticketing, gaming and vending machines, as well as telematics and medical devices.

Peter Botham, of Brown Shipley, is hoping to bounce back in 2013 with AIM-listed Zytronic, which makes touch screens, after seeing his 2012 selection May Gurney Integrated Services lose more than a third of its value.

“From smartphones to tablets and fridges, the use of touch screen devices is set to explode even further and, with patented technology and the ability to manufacture directly from the original piece of glass, Zytronic’s market value of £47m looks set to advance strongly in the next year,” he said.

In IC this week, Zytronic loses its touch.

Touch sensor products maker Zytronic warned less than a fortnight ago that profits in the first seven months of its financial year had halved. The shares have too, and the scope for any significant recovery appears some way off as customers remain reluctant to commit orders. Visibility has always been an issue for Zytronic, given it has little idea what's in store more than six weeks in advance. Coca cola and its free style drinks machines are blamed for a big slug of the lost half year revenue.

"Although Zytronic (ZYT) had a profits warning as recently as May, I'm a fan of the company, which has bounced back on news that it is close to signing a contract with a major fizzy drinks company. The business, which is based in Gateshead, manufactures touch screens for industrial customers and already counts Coca-Cola as one of its biggest clients."
