FastPoint Technologies, Inc., the successor company to FTG Data Systems, is one of the most innovative light pen and touch
technology companies in the world. The company is uniquely positioned in the touchscreen industry with over 17 years of direct-input device experience as a developer,
manufacturer and distributor of light pens and light pen interfaces.
FastPoint Technologies was founded in 1975 and entered the light pen market in 1983. In August 1996, FTG Data Systems strengthened its industry leadership
position by acquiring the FastPoint Light Pen manufacturing operations and patents from its largest competitor, HEI Inc.
The company became FastPoint Technologies in March 1999 and remains privately held. Today FastPoint controls 85+% of the PC light pen market.
In November 2000, FastPoint established a strong partnership with a leading manufacturer of computer monitors and with the two leading manufacturers of touchscreen overlays
as a foundation for entering the touchscreen market. FastPoint shipped its first touchscreen in July 2000, and this is now the fastest growing division within the company.
Since 2000, FastPoint has provided additional value to the industry with the introduction of several other touchscreen related products such as
LCD Rackmount Touchscreens,
monitor arms and mounting brackets, and point of sale / card reader bracket kits.
Continuing its history for innovation, FastPoint introduced a dual-microprocessor touchscreen controller in September 2001. The product is unique in that it supports both
USB and serial-port communications and provides automatic port sensing and switchover.
FastPoint Technologies sells directly to end-users and distributes through dealers, developers, OEM manufacturers and VARS worldwide. In addition, FastPoint products are available
and supported with strong distribution relationships in England, Canada, Australia, France and other international markets.
FastPoint Technologies prides itself on service and support. All products are sold with an absolute satisfaction guarantee. FastPoint’s headquarters and manufacturing facilities
are located in Stanton, California, where the company has been located for over 10 years.
