ISI Norgren Showcases Delivery Strength Through Customized Initiative

    MT. CLEMENS, Mich., March 13 ISI Norgren today announced
the launch of its Preferred Products program, according to Guy Potok,
president.  The program is designed to offer customers significantly reduced
lead times on ISI high-demand products.
    The Preferred Product program provides four-day lead times on limited
quantities of ISI's most important items, including a wide variety of tooling,
vacuum and gripper components.  The range of products in the program will
expand throughout this year, including some key valves in mid-March, "smart"
vacuum products in April, and power and manual clamps in May.
    "The program will optimize material management enabling ISI Norgren to
meet even the most challenging customer requirement for delivery time," said
Potok.
    ISI Norgren, a subsidiary of IMI plc, offers the industry's broadest
product line of pneumatic components for automotive factory automation and is
committed to achieving optimum delivery efficiency while maintaining the very
best in quality and safety.
    The new Norgren Automotive Yearbook, which documents specific products
included in the preferred product range, is now available.  To receive a
yearbook or inquire about the program, contact ISI Norgren at 810-463-3000.
