New ibus appointments
consolidate European operations

Tangmere, 26th June 2002 - Leading high reliability computer manufacturer I-Bus, is pleased to announce the appointments of John Weller (Managing Director, UK) to joint Vice President (VP) of European operations, and Alain Arnaud (Managing Director, France) to joint VP of European sales and marketing.

This joint move spearheads the organisation's globalisation drive. The aim is to further standardise products, services and delivery times across the whole of Europe, resulting in additional improvements in service and delivery to customers. To achieve this, the UK company has already relocated to larger purpose built premises in Tangmere, West Sussex. As the new European headquarters, this serves the French, German and Scandinavian offices with centralised facilities for integration, warehousing, distribution, technical support and QA backup for all major products lines.

The latest products to benefit from this coordinated approach will be the new FUZION range of Application Ready Platforms. Ideal for OEMs, VARs and System Integrators, this off-the-shelf range is designed to maximise return on investment with minimal time to market pressures. A new 64 page catalogue, featuring the extensive FUZION range, peripherals and customisation service has just been published and is now available.

The company's unique selling point is an ability to design and manufacture fully integrated OEM computer platforms from start to finish, from a manufacturing base in the UK. Options include full integration of hardware and software, corporate branding, and even direct distribution to the customer supply chain. This single vendor approach allows OEMs to focus entirely on their core business activities.

The company's high reliability platforms form the backbone of many mission critical applications in the telecommunications, computer telephony, Internet, broadcast, industrial automation, networking, medical sectors and more. The company remains focused on delivering growth in all these core markets, whilst maintaining a regional approach to service and support throughout Europe and beyond.
