March 19, 2008—At GlobalShop this year, idX Corp. is introducing MagnIQ© to the U.S. market. Using metal panels and high-powered magnets, the system allows designers to combine the load-bearing attributes of slatwall with a sophisticated presentation style.

MagnIQ© is based on metal panels that can be painted or covered with graphics, fabric, or wallpaper. Display components can be re-arranged without drills, screws, or hammers, thereby avoiding damage to the panel surface. The efficiency with which components are re-arranged results in significant labor cost savings.

MagnIQ© display panels come in a variety of finishes, and can support merchandise-weighing as much as 50 pounds-with some installed versions capable of supporting weights over 150 pounds.

In the past year, numerous new components have been developed, and the collection now includes multi-use fixtures with applications for almost every design market sector, from hotels and offices to art galleries and museums.

Many of the UK's major retailers, including Austin Reed, Next, Asda, New Look, and Principles, have begun using MagnIQ© for their merchandise display requirements. Since its debut in 2006, MagnIQ© has won 11 major industry awards, and was a finalist in the 2007 British National Business Awards.
