Richmond, Indiana, July 16, 1996 - SANYO-VERBATIM CD COMPANY announced today the expansion of their shipping
department. "This department is in the business of making sure that the
CDs that we produce here are shipped to our clients in a timely and efficient
manner," remarks Bill Colburn, Shipping Supervisor. "Due to the continuing
expansion to our replicating capacity to over 50 million units annually,
our department is accommodating increasingly large shipments. One of the
ways we are improving our operation is by expanding our installed computer
base. Now we have multiple dedicated terminals connected on-line to FedEx,
UPS, DHL and the US Postal Service that allow us to communicate very efficiently
with our shipping vendors."
"Utilizing the most advanced shipping technologies has allowed our operation to ship more packages quicker and more accurately than ever before. An example of this is our ever expanding utilization of computers within the department. Before their trucks arrive at our loading docks, our shippers know what and how much they will be picking up, as well as deadlines and other critical information. On-line communication provides us with a precise way of letting the shipper know what is required of them. Going on-line also benefits the shipper, so that they are able to allocate resources in advance in order to meet demand."
"The new computers are being combined with new ink jet printers to increase SANYO-VERBATIM CD COMPANY's capacity for handling large mailings to customized customer lists. This increasingly popular service, called end-user fulfillment, is another example of how our enhanced capabilities are resulting in superior servicing of client needs. This segment of the market requires us to mail CDs directly to a subscriber's office, frequently to thousands of different locations, usually within a short amount of time. Our enhanced computer network coupled with our new ink jets make such tasks a snap."
