Printek Names PEAK Technologies Reseller of the Year
Columbia, Maryland (December 12, 2002) — Printek, a leading manufacturer of high-end dot matrix printers, has named PEAK Technologies Inc., Columbia, Maryland, as their Reseller of the Year. PEAK was selected because its sales volume was higher than any other Printek reseller in Printek's 2002 fiscal year. "Surpassing all expectations is what the Reseller of the Year award is all about, and that's just what PEAK Technologies continues to do year after year," said Scott Barnett, Vice President Sales and Marketing for Printek. He added that PEAK has been a leading Printek reseller for over 10 years and was Reseller of the Year in 2001 as well.

Barnett said that he believes PEAK's success is due to several factors. "They have a unique advantage in the industrial printer market of being the only integrator that is both national and international in scope," Barnett said. "This provides an important advantage to companies who can obtain sales and service for all of their locations from a single company. They also are unique in having printer specialists that have attained a high level of technical expertise and focus entirely on printing applications. Their service department provides great support to their customers and also helps to keep the sales force aware of opportunities for new sales. Finally, PEAK has demonstrated the ability to leverage synergies with their parent company, Moore Corporation, in meeting the complete printing and forms-related needs of their customers."

"Printek has a very strong product portfolio which allows PEAK to address a unique market need for multi-part forms printing within our customer base," said Adrian Thomas, president and chief executive officer of PEAK. Our partnership with Printek has continued to expand over the years and this award is a testament to the strong working relationship that exists between our two companies."

PEAK's success has come in selling Printek's complete line of dot matrix printers and related printing supplies. Printek's FormsPro 4000 printers can print a typical 1,000 character document in less than 5 seconds, making it possible to produce over 700 documents per hour. The company's FormsMaster printers offer the option of having three separate tractors each feeding a separate form. PrintMaster printers provide feeding from the rear or bottom, making them ideal for applications where space is at a premium. "PEAK has been successful selling our printers into many different industries, including banking, retail and manufacturing," Barnett said.

Barnett said that PEAK's ability to design and support a complete solution also plays a role in its success. For example, the company has developed a high level of expertise in developing complete radio frequency (RF) data capture solutions for distribution centers and warehousing operations that can dramatically boost throughput by increasing the speed and accuracy of information flow. PEAK has become one of the leaders in this field by offering a comprehensive technical project plan, strong project management structure, and a broad mix of technical skills to ensure the best possible return while minimizing disruption and expenses.
