Touchscreen history thrives in Holland hub of innovation
Holland, a major manufacturing center, helped start touchscreen tech in the 1970s with Donnelly Corp. The lineage runs through Magna, Optera, TES America, and now TES, which owns the legacy Donnelly system via its 3M Touch Systems acquisition. TES America pursues safer touch solutions like AirTouch and personal trackpad QR codes while design and service stay in Holland.
