Young Minds, Inc. Names New Distribution Partners
Data Assurance and ARTH International
Press Release
Redlands, Calif.--October 8, 2001--Young Minds,
Inc. (YMi) announced today that it has selected Data Assurance
Technology Associates (DATA) of Palm Springs, California to distribute
Young Minds data storage products in the United States. The agreement
is effective immediately, and positions DATA as the exclusive
distributor for all YMi domestic sales. At the same time, Young
Minds reaffirmed its international distribution agreement with
ARTH International (ARTH), which continues ARTH's exclusive international
distribution and worldwide reseller agreements . ARTH has been
the exclusive international distributor and an authorized reseller
for YMi since 1997.
"We are very excited to have DATA representing Young Minds'
products in the United States," said Andrew Young, Chairman
and co-founder of YMi. "With DATA, we have an organization with
many years of CD-R and DVD-R experience representing our products
to our target markets and customers, who are typically very
sophisticated data storage and IT professionals."
"This continues the outsourcing we began in 1997, when we selected
ARTH as our international distribution organization. Moving
sales responsibilities to independent organizations allows us
to concentrate completely on product development. The accelerated
pace of new product announcements over the past two years is
a direct result of the increased focus we gained from using
ARTH. Adding DATA as our domestic sales organization will further
improve our focus and allow us to continue the momentum we have
built over the last couple of years," continued Young.
"We are very pleased to have been selected by Young Minds to
manage their U.S. product sales," stated Robert Levine, DATA's
Vice President of Marketing. "Young Minds has an enviable reputation
for innovation, technical expertise, market-leading products,
and customer support. We are looking forward to a long and productive
partnership with both Young Minds and our customers."
"The past four years have been notable for the sales growth
that we have seen with Young Minds' products, particularly in
Europe," according to Johann Rath, President of ARTH International.
"The continuance of our agreement with Young Minds allows ARTH
to continue expanding our international sales of Young Minds'
products."
