PSCo named LED distributor for Sharp/NEC in the UK & Ireland

PSCo, a specialist LED distributor to the trade market and part of the Midwich Group, is pleased to announce an agreement with long-term partner Sharp NEC Display Solutions (“Sharp/NEC”), to become the distributor and accredited technical and service partner of LED products in the UK and Ireland. Sharp/NEC is a leading global provider of professional and commercial visual technology and digital signage solutions.

PSCo began distributing NEC products in 2010, and with this announcement, PSCo will extend its offering by providing the full indoor and outdoor LED range, with a particular focus on the popular indoor fine pitch FE and FA range. The FE/ FA series is available in five key pixel pitch sizes ranging from their flagship 0.9mm model, with 1.2/1.5/1.9/2.5mm SMD options available, and convenient bundled solutions sized up to 220”.

The NEC LED range has been engineered using high-grade diodes and quality components, ensuring the product lives up to its reputation for delivering excellent image quality, durability, and reliability. The LED displays are also backed by class-leading safety standards, including a metal chassis that supports efficient heat dissipation and full fire-retardancy – critical for use in public spaces. For business-critical applications, the FA series also supports full power and data redundancy for fail-safe operation.

PSCo has undergone extensive practical and hands-on training of the NEC LED portfolio ready for launch, achieving accredited LED partner status. This enables PSCo to offer channel partners manufacturer certified pre-and post-sales technical support. Whilst the NEC LED bundle solutions are inclusive of all the elements needed for installation, PSCo offers a range of complimentary products including mounts, controllers and video processing solutions, should they be required.

As the UK’s only specialist distributor of LED displays, PSCo can give customers a unique single-supplier supply and support service, guaranteeing customers receive validated systems that work first time. From technical advice and hands-on demonstrations to training and onsite assistance, PSCo ensures the highest level of service at every step of the way. Sharp/NEC customers will also benefit from PSCo’s extended warranty options, backed by an in-house team of LED specialists and technicians based at Innovation House, Midwich Group’s new state-of-the-art experience, training, and event centre in Bracknell.  

Stuart Holmes, Director, PSCo, comments:

“PSCo and the Midwich Group have enjoyed a long and successful partnership with NEC across various technology categories, so the time is right to take this decade-long relationship to the next level.

Given the explosive demand for high-grade LED and the rapid evolution of Sharp/NEC’s LED range, this is a natural next step, which will see us extend and enhance our leading portfolio of LED technologies with the addition of the FE/ FA Series, to give our customers an even greater choice.”

Mark Taylor, Solutions Sales Manager, Sharp/NEC Display Solutions, comments:

“Ensuring our customers enjoy the best possible experience is our top priority. Our LED solutions deliver all the quality and reliability that we are renowned for, now perfectly packaged for the wider market, so it is vitally important that the installation process mirrors our customer-first approach.

We have long partnered with Midwich across multiple technologies, so we are delighted to harness PSCo’s LED expertise and service excellence to further strengthen our LED offering. PSCo has a proven track record in accurately qualifying projects and correctly specifying LED, alongside providing industry leading support services, meaning our channel partners and end customers will not only get a high-quality LED solution, but also a great buying experience and superior technical support.”
