The show was held May 3rd - 5th in National Harbor, Maryland, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. This year's show was another success for the company, as we introduced several new products for use in the Naval & Defense market. The Sea Air Space exposition is the largest annual Naval trade show and conference in the United States, drawing exhibitors and attendees from around world.
Interest in Hatteland Display products was quite high, and we had several meetings with both current customers as well as new prospective clients. Many of the customers who came by our booth remembered Hatteland Display from last year's expo, and we received a lot of interest in our products from companies that have not done business with us before. Our range of COTS products, shown at the booth, in combination with custom made units for the naval market received strong interest from potential customers developing future naval systems. A prototype 24-inch widescreen Naval display was shown to customers, as well as the new TEMPEST certified 19-inch display produced for the US Coast Guard. In addition, our full line of computer products were demonstrated, with strong interest from customers in the new fanless, solid state computers.
This year Hatteland Display held a grand prize giveaway of two Executive Golf Putter Kits, which drew a lot of interest, and the golf balls with our logo that were hand-outs at the booth were also popular. This year's lucky grand prize winners were
John Bennett from BAE Systems and Peter Smith from Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems.
