Hantarex International

What Hantarex International does

Hantarex International Limited is a UK-based manufacturer and supplier of professional flat-screen LCD and LED displays, established in London in 1981. Originally a CRT monitor specialist serving airports, railway stations, and the games machine industry, the company transitioned its entire product line to LCD and LED technologies following the obsolescence of CRT and now offers an eleven-series portfolio spanning standard professional monitors (M Series, 32"-84"), high-brightness panels at 1500 cd/m² for outdoor-facing use (HB Series, 32"-70"), multi-touch and infrared touch displays (MT and WB Series, up to 84"), outdoor advertising displays (OW Series) and IP65-rated free-standing outdoor digital posters (OT Series), slimline and freestanding digital posters (PF and L Series), narrow-bezel video wall monitors with integrated matrix processing up to 5x5 configurations (TL Series), metal-cased CCTV monitors with BNC connectors (CDS range, 5"-42"), and All-in-One Network displays that connect to the MySignagePortal.com cloud CMS via WiFi or 3G. The company also runs a legacy CRT spares and repair service with documented 99% same-hour repair completion and a £85 hourly service rate, alongside 4:3-aspect LCD replacement panels for legacy 15" installations.

Hantarex sells exclusively through qualified installers and system integrators and does not distribute to High Street retail; pricing is quote-based and ex-works London with no public price list or e-commerce channel. Its go-to-market motion is therefore a channel-led B2B model supported by direct phone and email sales, monthly email mailers, and a product-catalog website. Revenue streams comprise hardware sales across the professional display series, a recurring annual license fee per Network monitor connected to MySignagePortal.com, and professional services revenue from CRT repairs and spares.

End-customer deployments are documented across transportation hubs (airports, railway stations), retail and automotive showrooms (including a BMW video wall), hospitality (Marriott Hotels), cultural institutions (artist Gavin Turk exhibitions, museums, libraries), broadcast, security/CCTV, and private residences, giving the company a vertical-diversified footprint served through its installer channel rather than direct end-customer relationships.

Direct peers

• Elo Touch Solutions: Elo specializes in commercial touch-screen monitors and interactive signage displays, directly comparable to Hantarex's MT (multi-touch) and WB (infrared touch) Series. Elo serves retail, hospitality, and self-service kiosk applications through integrator and OEM channels.
• Barco (Video Walls & Control Rooms): Barco is a specialist in narrow-bezel LCD video walls and control-room visualization, directly comparable to Hantarex's TL Series integrated-matrix 5x5 video wall offering. Both compete for enterprise control-room, broadcast, and high-end signage deployments.
• NEC Display Solutions Europe: NEC Display Solutions is one of the most established manufacturers of professional/commercial LCD displays, video walls, and large-format signage, with a broad product portfolio closely overlapping Hantarex's M, HB, and TL Series ranges. Both companies target integrators and B2B installation channels and compete head-to-head in airport, railway, retail, and corporate signage verticals.
• Philips Professional Display Solutions: Philips Professional Displays (now operated by MMD/PPDS) offers commercial LCD signage, touch, video wall, and Android-SoC network displays sold through integrators. The product positioning, channel model, and target verticals overlap meaningfully with Hantarex's professional display range.
• BenQ (Signage & Touch): BenQ sells commercial-grade LCD signage, large-format touch displays, and interactive flat panels via channel partners. Its product range and integrator-led distribution closely parallel Hantarex's M, MT, and WB Series, particularly in education, retail, and corporate meeting rooms.

Broad incumbents

• Panasonic Visual Solutions: Panasonic supplies professional LCD displays, video walls, and outdoor signage widely deployed across transport hubs, retail, and public-sector installations. Its broad product range and global service infrastructure make it a direct competitive incumbent in the verticals Hantarex targets.
• Samsung Electronics (Display Division): Samsung's professional display business supplies LCD/LED signage, video walls, outdoor displays (OMN/OHA series), and interactive touch solutions globally. It competes across the entire Hantarex range with significantly larger R&D and manufacturing scale, making it a key incumbent benchmark for the professional LCD signage category.
• LG Electronics (Commercial Displays): LG's commercial display division offers a global portfolio of professional LCD/LED signage, video walls, outdoor displays, and touch screens that compete with Hantarex across most verticals. As a tier-1 Korean panel manufacturer with multi-region service infrastructure, LG is a broader incumbent that dwarfs Hantarex in scale while overlapping in installer channel offerings.
• Sharp NEC Display Solutions (Large Format): Sharp NEC supplies large-format professional LCD displays, video walls, and 4K signage broadly overlapping Hantarex's M and TL Series ranges. As a combined Sharp/NEC entity, it is a major incumbent competitor across Hantarex's core installation verticals.
• Sony Professional (BRAVIA Professional Displays): Sony's BRAVIA Professional Displays line targets digital signage, corporate, education, and retail verticals through a partner/integrator channel model that parallels Hantarex's go-to-market. Sony is a broader brand incumbent with higher-end image-quality positioning overlapping Hantarex's M and HB Series professional monitors.
