GDS has grown its display services provision through the creation of a new company, GDS Clearview, formerly Clearview Displays, specialising in optical bonding services. GDS Clearview will grow the current GDS product offering, through the addition of the innovative G-BOND technology. The introduction of G-BOND technology, a unique optical bonding procedure that offers the highest performance of any display enhancement technique in the industry, to the GDS range provides customers with an even wider range of optically bonded services. G-BOND technology will complement the current range of GDS outdoor displays, which require advanced optical enhancement and sunlight readability.

In order to ensure it provides the best possible service, GDS MS conducts 100% inspection of incoming materials and uses bar code systems to avoid errors between components, programmes and on-line technical documentation. GDS MS supplies a variety of customers in the high-tech environment, including GE Medical, Ducati and Marconi, and offers a wide capability from low to high volume production.

Through the acquisition of CPG International, a multi-technology printer company specialising in business and industrial markets, GDS has created a new company, GDS Sferal Worldwide Technology Srl.

The company also markets its own Compuprint brand, as well as producing private label products for OEMs.
