Harkness Screens is the world's largest manufacturer of projection screen surfaces, specialising in the design and production of custom screens of virtually any size and shape. We got our start in cinema more than 80 years ago, and have since expanded to serve the Event Screen and Custom Screen markets. We serve customers all over the world, in more than 60 countries.
Harkness is the world leader in cinema, with white, gain and silver screens in more cinemas worldwide than any other manufacturer, from single-screen independent theatres to large multiplexes to large format immersive theatre experiences. Our screens can be used for either film or digital projection, in both 2D and 3D formats. We also design and manufacture custom frames.
From the Digital Screen Selector and Digital Screen Modeller for design optimisation through to the Digital Screen Checker for verifying on-screen brightness and the Digital Screen Archiver for storing key cinema data obtained during site inspections, Harkness Screens has the tools to assist with managing the entire cinema screen lifecycle.
Whether for live theatre productions, TV studios, or special events, Harkness screens can help create the set. Our screens can be used for front or rear projection of video images and lighting effects to provide a versatility and maximum impact.
