First established back in the 1970s as one of the first projection screen welding shops in Europe, our facilities have continued to evolve and expand with advancing technology and increasing demand. Today, many thousands of square meters of PVC projection screens are welded by seasoned operators on specially adapted high-frequency welding machines to achieve virtually invisible seams for screens up to 328 feet wide x 65 feet high.
