Design Science Shifts To Single Owner Through Co-founder Buyout

PICKERING, Ontario - Feb. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Toronto-based industrial designer and specialty manufacturer Design Science Corp. has consolidated ownership by acquiring the shares of a founding partner.

The Pickering, Ontario firm is now solely owned by Design Science Corp. President and CEO Chester Niziol, having bought out co-founder Ralph Idems in a deal completed last week.

Niziol will be driving and focusing Design Science to continue development of new and innovative design and engineering solutions for digital displays, notably a range of retail-ready LCD displays that operate solely on rechargeable batteries.

Idems is focusing his attentions as COO at Vertigo Digital Displays, which was recently awarded US and Canadian patents on Direct Air-cooled digital displays. Vertigo will be launching its new FlexVu Totem Outdoor Digital Display products at this week’s Digital Signage Expo trade show in Las Vegas.

“Focus is critical in a hyper-competitive market, and looking ahead it was going to be tough to give both Design Science and Vertigo the attention they both warrant,” says Idems. “Chester has a world-class team working with him, and they are uniquely qualified to realize and build specialty displays that the major manufacturers can’t and won’t touch.”

“Ralph is one of the true pioneers in the specialty digital display space, and his insights and contacts have been critical in building up our product line and brand,” says Niziol. “We now have a series of well-engineered, unique products that are really turning heads in the retail and exhibitions sectors.”

Design Science has a series of counter-top and freestanding displays, from tablet-sized to large formats, that have been specially-designed to handle the unique demands of retail and events.

Versions of the display units can stay running for full, busy retail days on rechargeable batteries. All the units accept replaceable printed graphics on the housing and surrounds, enabling flexible custom branding for product launches, campaigns and special events.

The smaller displays give retailers and brands the flexibility to nest digital messaging in the middle of merchandising arrangements, without worrying about access to power and hiding cables.

Design Science’s clients include Titan Outdoor and Cineplex Digital Solutions, and a broad spectrum of retailers and brands.
