Performance and outlook

Prismaflex International pursues its strategy to develop innovative products.
The tests performed on the autonomous scrolling signs proved to be conclusive with the official launch scheduled for the second half of the year.

With our clients tending to increase their investments in LED displays, Prismaflex International has decided to integrate a part of the value chain with the creation of an equity partnership in China.
This will enable close monitoring of the quality of the components, costs, and delivery times and in the mid-term, it will help the distribution of the group's products throughout Asia.
This action represents one of the major investment for the forthcoming year.

On May 31, 2014, order backlog stands at €6.8 million.

Forthcoming dates

  • Prismaflex International results will be presented at 10am on June 19, 2014 to the SFAF, 24, rue de Penthièvre, 75008 Paris
  • Next press release: 1st quarter sales figures (June 2014), 17 July after closure
