Our history

The PolyVision history encompasses decades of a strong foothold in the education, commercial and industrial markets. Since 1954, our core competency in the world’s most durable ceramicsteel surfaces, has guided our success along the way—from the time-tested chalkboards of early classrooms, to walls and infrastructure, to interactive, next-generation teaching and learning tools. Today, PolyVision’s industry-leading surfaces are incorporated in over two-billion square feet of working and learning spaces across the globe.
