Sony DADC acquires former Deluxe facilities in the UK
Sony DADC to start supply chain services in UK by July 1st
London, UK; June 30, 2006 - Sony DADC announces the acquisition of a DVD replication and a distribution facility in the United Kingdom. The purchase of the two former Deluxe facilities in Southwater and Enfield marks an important milestone in Sony DADC's strategy for offering full service solutions to the entertainment industry in the United Kingdom. Sony DADC commences services from its new locations on July 1st.
"Sony DADC stands for an unmatched solution and format variety for physical and digital solutions. The new facilities are important for us in improving and expanding our product and services portfolio for the entertainment industry in the UK. Merging these facilities with the Sony DADC network will further enable us to offer enhanced supply chain options like Finishing on demand, fast replenishment and Direct to Retail shipments. These services will be offered both for the current portfolio of DVD and CD products as well as for Blu-ray Disc," highlighted Dieter Daum, President Sony Disc And Digital Solutions. "Southwater and Enfield are examples of our commitment to the UK market and to our UK customers."
Building on the strength of the current leadership in both Southwater and Enfield, the newly founded Sony DADC UK with Chris Reiser as MD will incorporate Sony DADC's current sales and authoring office in the heart of London. "Establishing a manufacturing presence and a distribution centre in the United Kingdom by continuing these Deluxe operations, and making them part of the Sony DADC network, is fundamental to getting closer to our UK customers and offering complete supply chain solutions to the largest Entertainment market in Europe," stated Chris Reiser, who also holds the post of Executive Vice President Sony DADC International.
This acquisition, combined with the manufacturing cluster in Salzburg, Austria and the three existing distribution centres in Madrid, Frankfurt and Paris, makes Sony DADC a preferred choice for entertainment and content companies who are looking for smart supply chain solutions in Europe.
