Barco and Folsom Research (now Barco-Folsom, LLC) will combine their core strengths to provide technology leadership through continued investment in R&D and building long-term strategic alliances with Rental Partners.
Barco dominates two segments of the Rental and Staging market with high-performance LED displays and Large Venue Projectors. The acquisition of Folsom offers Barco the opportunity to become an important player in segments beyond displays, enabling further growth in the Rental and Staging market.
Since Folsom is also active in Radar, Presentation and Simulation applications, this acquisition also provides synergies with other Barco business units and increases sales of Barco in North America.
