History

A journey of continuous growth in visual technologies

Founded in 1993 as Worldtrade, the company began as a specialist in Information Technology, focusing on distributing PC components for computer assembly. It quickly became one of the most recognized players in the national IT wholesale market.

With the rise of new digital technologies in the 1990s, the company expanded to meet the growing demand for interactive display solutions.

During the 2000s, under the leadership of founder and current president Riccardo Taccardi, the company focused exclusively on display technologies in all their forms, evolving into an international player.

From 2010, WTD entered a strategic growth phase through joint ventures in the Far East, moving from distribution to the direct design and production of its entire product line under the WTD brand.

In recent years, the focus has increasingly shifted to the Digital Signage sector, which continues to grow globally, making WTD a reference point for Dynamic Messaging Solutions in public and professional spaces.
