Gould
Concludes Consolidation of U.S. Product Distribution
Eastlake,
OH—(December
6, 2002)—Gould Electronics Inc. announced today that it completed the
consolidation of its U.S. product distribution by naming Insulectro, the
world’s largest distributor of advanced printed circuit materials, as the
exclusive distributor to printed circuit board manufacturers for its CAC®
(Copper-Aluminum-Copper) foil and related products in the South Central region
of the United States, including Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and
Missouri.
Insulectro
already is the exclusive distributor of Gould’s CAC® foil and related
products in the Midwestern, Eastern and Western U.S.
Insulectro’s representation in the South Central region became
effective December 1, 2002. Since 1989, the Lake Forest, California-based
distributor has also been Gould’s exclusive representative for its full line
of copper foil and, more recently, specialty products.
“This
change marks a continuation of our efforts to better correspond with our
customers, who will benefit from working with a familiar, single source for all
their material requirements. Insulectro can provide them with an extensive
product line, quick-to-respond supply management skills and numerous resource
locations,” said Gould Vice President Richard Steiner.
“We
thank Atlan Industries, the company that previously handled these products in
the South Central region, for their 14 years of assistance,” said Steiner.
Gould
is a worldwide leader in the production of printed circuit materials and
optoelectronic products, including JTC™ electrodeposited copper foil, CAC®
(Copper-Aluminum-Copper) foil, Gould®flex adhesiveless
flexible laminates and fiber optic couplers with value-added assemblies.
Headquartered in Eastlake, OH, the company operates 12 facilities in
North America, Europe and Asia and is supported by a worldwide sales and
distribution network.
Gould is a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Energy Corporation.
