“We are very pleased with the opportunity to combine these two established companies that have long provided quality products to the blind and visually impaired,” stated Nunnelly.  He added, “We have worked closely with Braillo Norway for over two decades and fully recognize its commitment to and impact in our industry with the manufacturing of true, highly durable production Braille Printers, unmatched Braille quality, continuous technological innovation and superior customer support.”
