Elite Screens

What Elite Screens does

Elite Screens Inc. is a US-headquartered, privately held manufacturer and distributor of projection screens and related AV accessories, founded in 2004 and operated out of Garden Grove, California. The company serves both residential and commercial end-markets, including home theater consumers, businesses (conference rooms, boardrooms, sports bars), education/non-profit/religious/government buyers, sports-simulation users (notably golf), and outdoor/event applications. Its revenue model is built on hardware sales across electric/motorized, fixed-frame, manual, portable, floor-rising, recessed/in-ceiling, and outdoor screen categories, distributed via authorized dealers, distributors, and a proprietary e-commerce storefront.

The company's technical differentiation centers on proprietary screen materials—CLR (Ceiling Light Rejecting), StarBright CLR, AcousticPro UHD (acoustically transparent), CineGrey (ambient light rejecting), ImpactWhite (golf ball impact resistant), MaxWhite, CineWhite, and WraithVeil (rear projection)—alongside tab-tension flatness technology, battery-operated wireless outdoor designs with IP33/IP65 ratings, and integrations with Crestron, AMX, Control4, and Logitech Harmony home-automation systems. Manufacturing is concentrated at a wholly-owned facility in Huizhou, China, with seven additional Chinese sales offices, plus wholly-owned regional entities in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, India, Vietnam, Australia, Germany, Mexico, and the United States. The brand family extends across Elite Screens, Elite ProAV, EliteProjector, AKIA Screens, EPV SCREENS, Advaning, and RubberShox, supported by ISF, GREENGUARD, NFPA 701, and TAA certifications.

Recent activity demonstrates sustained R&D throughput, with multiple product launches and awards in 2025 (TWICE VIP Award for the GolfSim Portable ImpactWhite 350, InfoComm 2025 Projector Central Best of Show for the Floor Riser Pro DarkUST 3, and the December 2025 launch of the ezCinema Tab-Tension 16:9 X-Ratio Series). The company monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales rather than subscription or recurring service revenue, with no public financials disclosed.
