Nettetal (pts012/13.06.2005/10:30) - Hewlett-Packard Company has entered into an agreement with CMC Magnetics Corporation, a leading manufacturer of high-quality CD and DVD optical discs, to market and distribute HP-branded DVD and CD optical disc products in EMEA (Europe, The Middle East, and Africa).
With this agreement HP is able to provide a larger portfolio of products to complement its CD and DVD drive offerings and to meet customer demand for high-quality, attractively priced CD and DVD storage media. Consumers can rely on CMC to provide a full range of HP-branded writable and rewritable storage media for both CD and DVD storage devices as well as for the newly introduced LightScribe technology.
Through this arrangement, CMC Magnetics has become an authorized agent to ship DVD and CD disc products in EMEA under the HP brand. CMC Magnetics will have the responsibility for all aspects of bringing CD & DVD media products to the consumer and commercial marketplace. CMC will manufacture, qualify, market, support and distribute HP-branded CD and DVD products under HP's strict quality and branding standards.
HP will participate in customer meetings and will test and qualify all optical disc product lines to ensure high-quality products, and HP will continue to invest in research and development and provide intellectual property for future products.
CMC will use its own established channel to distribute HP-branded CD and DVD disc products in EMEA. The first products through the agreement with CMC Magnetics has been already launched throughout Europe in spring 2005.
