STOCKHOLM—SNA Displays has hired two Sweden-based digital signage veterans, marking a continued expansion into Europe. As one of the top-tier global LED display manufacturers, the company has provided digital display products and services throughout the world, primarily in U.S., European, and Asian markets.

The move comes as many digital signage and audio-visual industries are recovering from the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic fallout.

“As a company, we will continue to find areas of opportunity and improvement during a time when many companies are having to cut back or reorganize,” said Dennis Hickey, president of New York-based SNA Displays. “We’re in a fortunate position to be able to continue acquiring first-rate talent and identify undervalued areas of potential so that we not only continue growth now but also stand ready for the inevitable upturn.”

Johan Skepparman and Peter Gustafsson both started this week and will run business development for SNA Displays from Stockholm.

“We’re very excited to join the SNA team,” said Skepparman, who previously worked for H&M as a global digital signage project manager. “Over the past few years, SNA Displays became such a familiar name to us with so many LED spectacular installations that caught our attention. SNA’s products are not only high-end but highly competitive, and, in my experience, the people are talented at what they do and have such great knowledge of the overall industry. And yet, there is still a tight-knit, family feel to the organization.”

The new employees bring vast audio-visual and digital signage experience to SNA Displays’ business development team, including project management, solutions design, operations, and installation and maintenance.

“As Europe emerges from the pandemic, there are so many opportunities for growth,” said Gustafsson, who was also previously a global project manager for H&M in the digital signage space. “In-person retailers will need to be even more communicative with customers to stay competitive. Also, the need for dynamic and interactive messaging is higher than ever, and retailers are looking for digital signage systems that allow customers to see custom messaging such as product information, real-time offers, and personalized renders.” Gustafsson also has prior work experience with international expansion projects at H&M.

Skepparman and Gustafsson will report to Vice President of Global Sales Rick Bortles.

“With the vast amount of experience Johan and Peter bring to the table in the retail market segment alone, this is a great opportunity for us to further develop our international sales and operations,” said Bortles, who is based in SNA Displays’ Atlanta office. “While changes in technology and environments are inevitable, particularly in our current climate, there’s simply a never-ending need to inform.”

Prospective clients, partners and vendors can submit inquiries at snadisplays.com/contact or reach Skepparman and Gustafsson directly.

Big buyers take over 18 months to approve a display vendor, IndexBox finds

Big buyers take over 18 months to approve a display vendor, IndexBox finds

IndexBox's updated report, published November 13, forecasts about 6.5% yearly growth for commercial displays through 2035. The bigger planning number is 18 months. That is how long major corporate and public-sector buyers routinely take to approve a vendor, locking in screens, firmware and software for multi-year refreshes.

  • 01The display vendor shortlist an enterprise writes this year decides whose screens, firmware and software it runs through a multi-year refresh, because major buyers routinely spend more than 18 months qualifying a supplier.
  • 02Firmware security, content-software API stability and component traceability now count as supply-resilience tests for commercial displays, which puts IT teams beside facilities in the buying decision.
  • 03IndexBox sees pricing power shifting to integrators and software platforms, with steady growth rates of around 6.3% to 6.5% forecasted by independent reports through 2035.

Why Led4Live bought a Coda Audio ViForce system

Why Led4Live bought a Coda Audio ViForce system

Led4Live, a firm that works concerts, festivals and corporate events, bought a Coda Audio ViForce system from Coda's Polish distributor Tommex. The order included 18 four-way cardioid line array modules and four Sub Force subwoofers. Every speaker in the rig is Coda. The purchase reads as a platform bet, with shared software and amplification weighed alongside cardioid stage control.

  • 01Every speaker in Led4Live's new rig, from 18 line array modules down to two stage monitors, comes from Coda Audio and runs on one Dante-enabled amplifier platform.
  • 02Single-box cardioid designs are pitched on what they’re designed to keep off the stage: less rear radiation, fewer reflections and (in theory) better working conditions for performers.
  • 03The cross-range compatibility argument pays off only when mains, fills and monitors share a maker; a mixed-brand rental inventory gets less of it.

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG Electronics announced LG Signage Manager on Nov. 11, 2026. It is a smartphone app for editing, scheduling and monitoring LG's E-paper Display without a PC. Updates go over Wi-Fi when the phone and the display are on the same network, which makes it a tool for on-site staff. The schedules staff set also drive the display's power management, so how often content changes affects energy use.

  • 01On LG's e-paper display, the content schedule a store manager sets in the app is also the instruction the display uses to manage its power.
  • 02LG Signage Manager runs updates and status checks when the phone and display share a network, which makes it a fit for staff on the shop floor and a weaker fit for chains that push content from head office.
  • 03Before a pilot, check two things: whether the app is available in your region, and what the battery readout shows at the update frequency your menus and prices actually need.
