Dow Jones Description

Video Display Corporation is an international company that was founded in 1975 to provide replacement cathode ray tubes (CRT's) to the color and black & white television markets. Initially VDC operated its sales and production services out of a single facility in Stone Mountain, GA. With the growth of the computer industry in 1983, VDC expanded to meet the forthcoming needs of replacement tubes for the data display market. This expansion included the acquisition of production equipment and manufacturing facilities from smaller CRT remanufacturers. The combination of these plants and distribution centers in Louisiana, Pennsylvania; Georgia, Texas; New York in the U.S. and The United Kingdom, Amsterdam, Netherlands and Monterrey, Mexico created an international CRT manufacturer that could serve a broad variety of display needs. The further additions of electron gun manufacturers and electronic component distribution companies created a strong vertical integration within the company.
