UniNet Imaging Inc. announces the expansion of its capabilities through the acquisition of Summit Technologies, headquartered in Bohemia, New York, with offices in Ventura, California and chip manufacturing in Las Vegas, Nevada. In September, 2004, Summit Laser Products merged with Graphic Technologies in Camarillo, CA to create Summit Technologies.
UniNet and Summit Technologies have similar objectives as specified by Nestor Saporiti, CEO of Uninet, “We are very fortunate to have found an industry expert partner who shares our corporate initiatives, passion, and commitment to innovative technology, delivering quality worldwide, and business excellence.”
Highly anticipated, this acquisition combines the core competencies of each corporation – UniNet’s unparalleled Absolute Color™ product line along with Summit’s innovative chip technology and toner blending creates an exciting synergy.
The collaborative effort results in “efficient and optimal delivery time in the continental USA, enhanced quality assurance, superior technical support and R&D, personalized sales support, and extensive product depth and breath” states Steven Hecht, CFO.
“Joining our complementary chip technologies will accelerate chip development”, says Joe Cachia, Chip Manufacturing Director, “The UniNet worldwide subsidiaries will help us expedite R&D and testing of multi-region chips recently released on Lexmark® and Minolta® engines.”
Nestor Saporiti, CEO of Uninet, expressed his admiration for Graphic Technologies’ legacy, “I am most honoured to continue with Ira Seaver’s research and development of toner blending and chip technology, as well as preserving his excellence for quality.”
Martin Garcia, UniNet’s Corporate General Manager shares the same sentiments, “We are thrilled about the powerful synergies created by combining these companies. I am personally delighted to welcome the award winning Mike Josiah and Joe Cachia whom will bring invaluable expertise to UniNet’s R&D and engineering team.”
“Our customers will gain the most from these experienced professionals”, according to Diego Gesualdi, Uninet Corporate Sales Director “the addition of industry veterans Joe Dovi, U.S. Sales Director, Robert Jenkins, Senior Account Manager and Summit’s sales staff to the accomplished Uninet sales team will help us provide our customers the best personalised sales, service, and support.”
