DSM Computer GmbH, a manufacturer of industrial computer systems, and ABLE Design GmbH, a display specialist, have now merged after many years of close cooperation. With the integration of ABLE Design, DSM Computer strengthens its core competency in the industrial public display systems area and can offer complete solutions for the industrial process visualization and professional digital signage systems. The conquest of new markets should help DSM in 2011, like last year, to achieve an above-average sales growth. The intensive cooperation of both companies in the past months has already allowed the first jointly-developed innovations to be presented.

/> ABLE Design, founded in 1994, develops and manufactures high-quality industrial displays in various technologies for the indoor and outdoor area. Integrated IPCs or external computers from DSM Computer are deployed to control the displays.

ABLE Design will continue as brand name for high-quality, industrial display systems under the leadership of DSM Computer. The two companies were merged to the balance sheet date of 31.12.2010. From this date, DSM assumed all rights and obligations of ABLE Design.

DSM Computer produces all current and newly-introduced products at its own sites in Munich. The service for previously delivered displays will also continue in the usual manner. To profit from the many years of consulting and development expertise of ABLE Design in the display technologies, interface solutions, display controller and housing technology areas, DSM has taken over all the ABLE Design employees.

Axel Schäfer, managing director of DSM Computer GmbH, welcomed the fusion with ABLE Design and explained the future chances: For many years we have been cooperating with ABLE Design and offer with our industrial PCs and embedded systems a wide range of control computers for various display systems. With the acquisition of the display specialist, we bundle the existing technical know-how and utilize this comprehensive experience in new innovative products. This means we are ideally equipped to develop new markets and trend-setting applications even this year. Thanks to the ABLE public display systems, we can offer our customers complete solutions from a single source - Made in Germany.

Gert H. von Steinaecker, manager of the Display Systems business division at DSM Computer, also sees an advantage for both parties: Thanks to the synergies of the DSM and ABLE Design IPC specialists, innovative display systems result that can be deployed both in the industrial environment for production data and also in high-quality digital signage and multimedia applications.
