March 10th, 2008
Techware Distribution, Inc. today announced its acquisition of MaxOptix Corporation from Breece Hill of Louisville, CO. MaxOptix is a premier manufacturer of Magneto Optical Disks (Discs) and Magneto Optical Drive storage devices. This acquisition strengthens Techware's ability to distribute MO disk media and drives in North America, South America, Europe and Asia.
MINNEAPOLIS (Business Wire EON) -- Techware Distribution will continue to supply the entire line of MaxOptix 5.25" magneto optical media and 5.25" MO drives through current wholesale/dealer channels in North America, and in Europe through PDO Europe (www.pdoeurope.com).
"Our intent is to make this transition transparent to the loyal MaxOptix customer base while improving efficiencies in logistics and customer support," said Kevin Gabrik, vice president of sales and marketing for Techware. "We look forward to rolling out new products like a portable 3.5" (90mm) 1.3gb USB pocket drive in early 2nd quarter 2008."
Magneto optical disks are extremely reliable and durable because they are unaffected by magnetic fields and highly resistant to dirt and scratches. Because of this durability, magneto optical disks continue to be popular within Medical, Financial and Government organizations. Capacities on the 5.25" discs range from 600mb up to 9.1gb, in both rewritable and WORM formats (write once read many), with the most popular MO disk capacities being 9.1gb, 2.3gb, 4.1gb, 5.2gb and 1.2gb.
