ClearOrbit Adds Datamax To List of Automated Data Collection Partners

    ORLANDO, Fla.--June 27, 2002--Datamax today announced that supply chain execution and supplier collaboration software provider, ClearOrbit of Austin, Texas, has added Datamax to its list of Automated Data Collection (ADC) Alliance Partners. As Datamax continues its proactive role in new market development for its family of thermal printing products, supply chain execution and supplier collaboration were seen as a logical extension to the company's existing ERP/WMS competencies.
    Tom Dziersk, CEO of ClearOrbit, indicated that as the company continues its rapid growth and development of extended enterprise solutions with proven techniques and emerging technologies, ClearOrbit will continue to strategically partner with hardware solution providers that possess industry-leading technology and innovative device solutions. For these reasons Datamax was seen as an appropriate partner in the ADC business segment.
    "While it is true that ClearOrbit had previously supported some of our legacy products, we needed support for our `Class' product families as new projects requiring this integration came to our attention. We also wanted to more formally recognize the business relationship between our two companies," stated Steve Horrocks, business development manager for Datamax.
    Datamax specializes in the design, manufacture and marketing of direct thermal and thermal transfer printers for labels, tags, and tickets. Headquartered in Orlando, Fla., Datamax has sales offices in Singapore and in Harlow, U.K., as well as label-converting and preprinting facilities in Robinson, Ill., and Harlow. Datamax markets its products exclusively through a network of resellers in more than 100 countries worldwide.
