AMERICAN BUSINESS COMPUTERS RECEIVES $7 MILLION ORDER
FOR ITS JUICE DISPENSING SYSTEM
LARGEST SINGLE ORDER IN ITS HISTORY BRINGS BACKLOG TO $9.4 MILLION
Akron, OH, July 19, 1995--American Business Computers Corporation
(NASDAQ: ABCC), the leader in automated dispensing technology, announced today
that it has received a $7 million initial order for its Juice Dispenser. This
is the largest single order the company has ever received and brings the
company's backlog to a record $9.4 million.
According to CEO Robert A. Cutting, this order marks a substantial
reduction in turnaround time between research and development and the intial
commercial order for a major new product. Last month, the company announced
that it had filed for a patent on the controlling electronics and software and
that field testing would start in record time for the initial customer. "We have
developed a commercial breakthrough product that substantially reduces waste,
spoilage and dispensing time. The size of the initial order provides a strong
indication that juice dispensing is a major new product category for our
beverage division, "Mr. Cutting said. He noted that shipments are expected to
start in the latter part of the current fiscal year, with the balance delivered
in fiscal 1997.
The microprocessor-driven system mixes and dispenses from juice
concentrates, ensuring a controlled mixture and an accurate, standard portion.
Mr. Cutting noted that the system has broad commercialization prospects.
"Today, juices are only available in cans, cartons or bottles at most
restaurants and other juice dispensing locations. Our technology is adaptable
for fountain juice dispensing for today's many health conscious consumers," he
added.
American Business Computers is engaged in research, develoment and
commercialization of automated dispensing technologies which have broad
industrial applications.
