Zytronic plc, a leading specialist manufacturer of touch sensors, will be announcing its Preliminary results for the year ended 30 September 2012 on Tuesday 11 December 2012.

Zytronic collaborates with Nuiteq & Omnivision to deploy multi-touch whatever the environment

Friday 16th November 2012 09:39am
New large format, heavy duty touch multi-touch technology supported by software partners

Ruggedized touch sensor provider Zytronic is now able to offer its customer base a complete, easy-to-integrate touchscreen solution capable of supporting the detection of 10 touch events simultaneously.

Zytronic’s new Multi Touch PCT™ product range has been tested with multi-touch software from leading vendors Omnivision and Nuiteq, both of which offer bespoke and off-the-shelf application suites.

As a result of this development, large form factor displays designed for use in the most demanding of environments will now be able to benefit from complex gesture recognition and compelling user interfaces. The fully customisable multi-touch solutions offered by Zytronic consist of a new family of touch sensors based on the company’s proprietary projected capacitive technology (PCT™) and its recently released ZXY200 advanced touch controller. When combined with either the Omnivision Omnitapps or the Nuiteq Snowflake software application packages, and a multi-touch supporting operating system, such as Windows® 7, the forthcoming Windows 8 or Linux kernels from 3.5.1 onwards, they bring 10-point multi-touch functionality to ruggedized touchscreens with diagonal dimensions from 22 to 70-inches and beyond.

“Multi-touch is becoming increasingly commonplace as a way for us to interact with display enabled devices. Our new Multi Touch PCT™ product is designed to support the large display formats used in self-service (vending machines) and public environments as well as applications, such as touch tables, and interactive digital signage, bringing the functionality found within the consumer space to a far broader spectrum of uses. The compatibility of the technology with the multi-touch application software provided by companies like Nuiteq and Omnivision makes is easier to design and deploy attractive, compelling interfaces” states Ian Crosby, Sales & Marketing Director for Zytronic.

On Zytronic’s stand (A3.453) at Electronica (Munich, 13th – 16th November) will have a series of demonstrations on display based on its innovative multi-touch PCT™ technology, showing how it can be utilised in a variety of key applications. The touchscreens will be using Snowflake and Omnitapps to demonstrate the capability of this new touch technology. These multi-touch software packages are available directly from Nuiteq and Omnivision respectively.

These were 80p in 2009 I see! 340p now so quite a rise, never heard of them myself but wish I had, silly spread as an AIM stock I expect.. but what the hell with a rise like that! Well spotted DC.

Lets hope you will say they were £3.40 in 2012 in a few years time having climbed a lot higher . Thanks Stan

Stranger things have happened -):

Oxdford inst looking good aswell Stan. :-))

Yes it is DC, pity I'm not in at the mo.

Results due next week (11 Dec) The market is looking for pre-tax profits of £4.1m on sales of £2 1.7m according to analysts at N+1 Singer. But these could prove conservative given Zytronics excellent progress on gross profit margins which increased from 32.1% to 36.4% during the first half thanks to tight cost controls, better manufacturing utilisation and an ongoing drive to develop its more profitable touchscreen display product range.Touch technologies are likely to account for over 70%of sales, with more than 90% of products exported to overseas markets, such as China and the US.
Investors should also be in for a steep hike in the dividend withn an increase of up to 20% on the cards,. implying a payout of around 9p per share for the 12 months. Analysts are likely to upgrade 2013 full year taxable profit forecasts, currently pitched at £4.4m, which could spark a renewed spell of share price strength.

§ Net cash balance less borrowings increased by £1.8m to £2.3m



Commenting on the results, Chairman, Tudor Davies said:

"The continuing MPCT technical advances and the successful public roll-out of our PCT touch products for vending applications has resulted in further opportunities from major global food and drinks companies, and also for ATM and ticketing applications

The company posted 18% profits growth last year to end
September despite largely flat revenues of £20.4 million due to challenged European end markets. Zytronic is blessed with exiting growth potential as the touch screen displays market evolves.

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."
