Two years ago we decided that we would strategically expand our business into new but related markets that are connected to our core competency of understanding light and its relationship to chemical photoreactions. This resulted in market research initiatives in several markets. Based on a comprehensive portfolio review process we determined that there are specific niches within the graphics printing market that we believe we can succeed in.

As a result, we created the Excelerate™ product family that targets the graphics printing market. To ensure our success in this market, we have developed a separate and dedicated internal sales and marketing team, and separate OEM sales channel partners. We have chosen a direct OEM sales channel model based on the current profile of the market which typically includes a 1 to 2 year sales cycle, configurable and customized products, direct service and sales support, and most importantly it is what customers demand and expect. All of the companies we will be dealing with are OEM integrators.
