Crowley Signs Worldwide Equipment Distributor Agreement with EPM Equipment, LLC
Frederick, Maryland and Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) August 06, 2013 -- Christopher Crowley, president of The Crowley Company, and William Oates, owner of Eastman Park Micrographics, Inc. (EPM), announce they have reached an agreement to combine experience and talents in EPM Equipment, LLC (EPME), an equipment-focused EPM wholly-owned subsidiary. The agreement is effective immediately; the transition of equipment, sales, procedures and policies is expected to take several months.
“In a nutshell,” says Crowley, “The Crowley Company has agreed to act as the worldwide sales and marketing arm for EPM Equipment LLC, which currently includes the IMAGELINK (formerly Kodak) brand of archive writer, archive processor and digital microfilm scanners. In this capacity, we will be responsible for all sales and marketing activities and the strengthening and growth of current and future EPME channels worldwide.”
“The Crowley Company has been a steady force in the micrographics industry for more than three decades,” notes Oates. “They have held their own against stiff competition and have continued to grow through intelligent equipment selection, unique service offerings, exclusive distributorships, progressive manufacturing, timely acquisitions and by leveraging their in-depth knowledge of this very niche industry. Their expertise and passion for preservation, combined with our own, should quickly elevate EPME into a firm that is respected by a global clientele for supplying the best micrographic materials and equipment for critical record protection.”
Possible future plans include an expansion of micrographic scanner product lines to include new microform scanning equipment (microfilm, microfiche, aperture card, multi-media) and other digital and analog micrographic equipment.
