SATO Japan announces the incorporation of its international office - Barcode SATO International Pte Ltd

TOKYO, JAPAN - January 31, 2001

As a commitment to its global expansion plans, SATO Corporation has announced the incorporation of its international office, Barcode SATO International Pte Ltd. In its first step towards global expansion, SATO Corporation, a pioneer in the barcode industry, has clearly spelt out its global intentions with an international office.

"I am pleased to announce that Barcode SATO International (BSI) is the secret weapon towards our international growth approach. BSI's main role would be to provide support spanning from Operations to Marketing to Sales to our Group Member Companies (GMCs) in a move to further facilitate their business activities," confirmed Mr. Waki, Executive Director, SATO Corporation, and Managing Director, Barcode SATO International.

"Where SATO's Group Member Companies have been functioning on their own in the past, with the inclusion of BSI, these Group Member Companies would play the role of Strategic Business Units (SBU) with BSI overlooking these units. By doing so, it would create a top view of SATO's performance and strategy. BSI would then be able to integrate the activities of all these GMCs so that our costs would be driven down, whilst increasing our productivity. The results: synergy and a stronger global presence," added Mr. Waki.

SATO Corporation has been set-up successfully for more than 60 years where it is a market leader in Japan. Investments are being made to further expand and strengthen BSI so that BSI would be even better equipped in supporting the GMCs.
