About GMS – Your Display Company
GMS – Your Display Company is an owner-managed display company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Villingen-Schwenningen. The portfolio includes TFT displays (0.96" to 21.5", IPS/TN, high brightness up to 1,500 cd/m²), smart TFT displays, LCD graphic and character displays, OLED graphic and character displays, OLED rotary controls, industrial monitors, digital signage displays as well as custom displays and cover glass. Beyond distribution, GMS performs engineering tasks such as software and hardware adaptations and design-in support. In its in-house production facility, displays are integrated into customer applications; custom cover glass is manufactured from glass, plastics or composite materials by cutting, grinding, polishing, bending and laminating. Display-specific incoming goods inspection including climate tests, an in-house test laboratory, and dust-protected, temperature-stable storage capacity for stockpiling and safekeeping complete the value chain. More than 30 million displays sold to over 800 international customers from industry, consumer electronics, automotive and medical technology attest to the company's experience.
