PPDS (aka: Philips professional displays) announced the latest phase of its local-for-local manufacturing approach, with an expansion from 30,000 displays in 2023 to 100,000 pieces to be produced in its Mexico facility in 2024. The factory in Tijuana was established to support the launch of PPDS’ range of Chromecast built-in Philips MediaSuite hospitality TVs in Mexico.

Fuelled by sustained interest and requests from industry partners and hoteliers, the extension of PPDS’ hospitality business is part of a continued strategy to provide the sustainable accessibility of its full suite of total solutions to partners and customers worldwide. These include digital signage, dvLED, interactive displays, professional TVs and dedicated software solutions supporting all key market verticals.

Available through PPDS’ system integration partners in Mexico, Philips MediaSuite is regarded as the most complete hotel TV on the market, created for cutting-edge hotel room experiences and designed to evolve with the needs and requirements of guests into the future.

Since debuting in Europe in 2019 and in North America in 2021, Philips MediaSuite has quickly become the brand of choice for some of the world’s leading hotel groups, with projects and partnerships with Accor, Wyndham Hotel Group, Louvre Hotels and most recently, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), all of which are prominent key players in Latin America.

The availability of Philips MediaSuite TVs in Mexico — a $7.55bn market accounting for more than 22,560 properties and approximately 808,000 rooms — brings incredible new and potentially lucrative opportunities for hoteliers looking to enhance and advance the guest room experience while creating cost savings, thanks to its remote capabilities.

Running on PPDS’ Android SoC and available in 43-inch to 75-inch size variants, Philips MediaSuite TVs combine 4K picture quality, with various entertainment choices, customization and back-end control, for the ultimate personalized home-from-home experience.
