Vuzix Adds CES as Channel Partner with LX1 Shipments Underway

Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI) disclosed on October 27, 2026, that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Commercial Electronics Systems, a Colorado-based value-added distributor with more than 20 years of experience in fire protection and security technology. According to the filing, CES has received and Vuzix has begun shipping against an initial six-figure order for its LX1 smart glasses, with CES planning to distribute the product to customers across the United States.

The filing states that CES is incorporating Vuzix smart glasses into a newly established Automation and Intelligent Infrastructure division, with the intent to offer wearable technology as part of broader customer initiatives focused on automation, operational efficiency, and workforce productivity. Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix, is quoted in the release as saying, "CES is not simply looking to resell smart glasses. They are building a broader automation business around the needs of their customers, and we believe our LX1 platform can play an important role in that strategy."
