The Commercial Business Unit launched the largest product rollout since Daktronics began building products for use in commercial advertising.

"These new displays come to market with our promise of durability and dependability. Daktronics' investment in a comprehensive product integrity lab ensures rigorous testing of all our cabinets and components. We're also excited about the status of the Redwood Falls, Minnesota, facility, which is ready for the new product rollout. The manufacturing plant now covers 135,000 square feet and employs more than 250 people," says Brad Wiemann, vice president, Daktronics Commercial Business Unit.
