FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CreoScitex Welcomes New Certified Partner in Canada
Vancouver, BC CANADA (January 4, 2001) - CreoScitex, a division of Creo Products
Inc. (NASDAQ: CREO; TSE: CRE), announces that A.B Dick Company, a leading
worldwide supplier of digital prepress products, has been contracted as a
Certified Partner. The agreement authorizes the company, headquartered in
Toronto, Canada, to sell the full line of CreoScitex graphic arts products
throughout Canada.
Established in 1887, A.B. Dick marketed the first commercial mimeograph. Since
that time, the company and its customers have evolved. The distribution
agreement with CreoScitex was sparked by A.B. Dick's recognition that its
maturing customer base was seeking more sophisticated technology. As a result,
the company responded by augmenting its offerings with the expansive CreoScitex
product line.
The alliance of the two companies enables greater access to the latest and most
innovative technology in the marketplace. By adding CreoScitex to the A.B. Dick
family, that also includes Kodak Polychrome Graphics, the company will be able
to offer its Canadian customers more digital solutions.
"Partnering with CreoScitex provides critical strategic advantages for A.B.
Dick. It significantly expands our digital prepress offerings, particularly to
the medium and large printer," stated Fred Wood, General Manager of A.B. Dick in
Canada. "Moreover, it complements our high growth Kodak Polychrome supply
business so customers can be given the option of conveniently designed packages
of equipment and supplies."
