Working with Winmate – Past, present and future

Founded in 1996, Winmate Communication Inc has since become a leading industrial LCD display and panel PC solutions provider in the industrial and embedded marketplace.  In 2005, after substantial market research in to the growing all-in-one packaged LCD market, Impulse put pen to paper and signed a distribution agreement to supply their comprehensive product range in the UK.  Now, as a Premium Partner of Winmate, Impulse is one of the top 10 worldwide distributors for Winmate products.

What makes Winmate so special?

The first thing that we noticed about Winmate was their vast yet innovative product range, catering for many different industrial applications including automation, kiosks, retail and digital signage. The diversity of their display products, such as multiple size and touch screen options, ensures that Winmate products are one of the first to be recommended to Impulse customers.

The quality of products and the technical back-up services from Winmate are second to none. The build quality and long-term supply roadmaps of their displays is exceptional which is of vital importance in the industrial market. These crucial factors played a big part in the decision to make Winmate an Impulse Premium Partner in 2007.

Winmate facilities

In 2011 the Impulse senior management took a trip to Taiwan and visited the Winmate facilities. They enjoyed a tour of the factory which acted as a unique and valuable insight into their investment in the quality and build processes of the production line for the Winmate products.

“My first impression of the Winmate facilities was that it appeared very organised and streamlined. Their state of the art production line included SMT and DIP lines, and excellent pre- and post-build testing facilities. Their EMC and environmental test chambers ensure product reliability, and along with their clean rooms to minimise particle interference between the glass and touch screen, Winmate are clearly industry leaders and at the cutting edge of LCD touch screen technology and production.”
