Rimage Services to Offer CD-ROM Replication

October 7, 1996 — Minneapolis, MN — The Rimage Services Group, an operating unit of Minneapolis-based Rimage Corporation, is renovating and expanding its Plover, Wisconsin, facility to include CD-ROM stamping, silk screen printing and automated packaging replication services, the company announced today.

The Plover facility represents Rimage Service’s first venture into CD-ROM disc replication services. The plant was initially opened in 1991 to replicate 3.5 inch diskettes and will now replicate both diskettes and CD-ROMs.

“This ISO 9002-certified high tech facility will have a 60,000 CD-ROM disc capacity within a few months,” according to Dave Suden, Rimage Corporation president. “Since most replication houses are on the West Coast, Rimage saw an opportunity to deliver just-in-time and made-to-order replication services to midwestern companies that need them.”

Rimage plans to hire several new employees from the Plover and Stevens Point area to work in the renovated facility.

Minneapolis-based Rimage was founded in 1987 and has service, sales and manufacturing facilities in Boulder, CO; Mountain View, CA; Dietzenbach, Germany and a new office in Singapore. Among the company’s major products are digital publishing systems, diskette and CD-ROM duplication systems for unique and large quantity applications, labelers and finishing equipment, CD-ROM printing systems and tape duplication systems.
