Touchscreen Industry: How UICO Can Help Fill the Zytronic Gap

Updated: Apr 23



Zytronic Replacements

The touchscreen industry is no stranger to change. With advancements in technology and evolving market demands, companies continuously adapt—or, in some cases, exit the space altogether. Recently, the departure of Zytronic, a key player in the Projected Capacitive (PCAP) touchscreen market has left many businesses searching for reliable alternatives. For those affected, UICO stands ready to provide high-performance, industrial-grade touchscreen solutions that ensure a seamless transition.


Industry Disruption: What This Means for Zytronic Customers

When a major touchscreen supplier leaves the market, it can create significant challenges for businesses that depend on its technology. Many industries—including medical, industrial automation, automotive, and outdoor kiosks—rely on durable, responsive PCAP touchscreens to maintain operations. Without a stable supply chain, companies may face:


  • Device Compatibility Issues – Finding a touchscreen that matches form, fit, and function with existing designs.

  • Supply Chain Disruptions – Unexpected delays and procurement challenges.

  • Performance Uncertainty – Ensuring the replacement screen meets the same durability, waterproofing, and temperature resistance.


For organizations affected by this shift, identifying a reliable replacement is urgent and critical to avoid production halts or costly redesigns.
