Meridian announces international expansion in the UK

November 22, 2019

Meridian has announced a franchise, Meridian Digital Solutions Limited, based in Leicestershire — around 90 miles northwest of London, to serve all European markets.  
 
"The launch of Meridian Digital Solutions will enable us to continue growing and better serve our international markets, especially when it comes to the U.K. and Europe," CEO Chris Gilder said in a press release.
 
While all manufacturing operations will initially remain at Meridian's 13-acre Aberdeen, North Carolina headquarters location, Meridian Digital Solutions will manage all European prospecting, sales and consulting. A select group of Meridian's standard model indoor and outdoor kiosks and digital signage solutions will be offered.

"Initially we are concentrating our efforts on tourism, hospitality and retail," said Andy Viner, managing director of Meridian Digital Solutions, in the release. "We will also be focusing on the locker solutions as we help companies increase the options available to their customers with 24-hour and unattended access."

The launch of Meridian Digital Solutions is Meridian's second international expansion. The first came in 2009 when the company acquired Canada-based King Products and Solutions which now serves as their Mzero software division which operates in Mississauga Canada.
