Gepco International Announces New Facility in Burbank, CA & Expansion of Main Chicago Headquarters

DES PLAINES, February 5, 2004 - Gepco International, the leading manufacturer and distributor of audio and video cables and accessories, has relocated its Burbank, CA, facility to a larger location, while also expanding their main headquarters in Chicago, IL. This expansion of both facilities will allow Gepco to continue to meet the growing demands of the pro-audio, broadcast and multimedia industries.

Located in a more convenient area in the heart of the media district, the new 10,000-square foot Burbank facility allows for an increased inventory and higher visibility, enabling Gepco to better serve customers and the industry. In addition, the new Burbank facility is equipped with a will-call and a point-of-sale display area that features an expanded inventory of pre-made cable assemblies, connectors, tooling, patchbays and accessories.

The expansion of Gepco's main headquarters in Chicago has allowed for both an increase in manufacturing capabilities and warehouse inventory, as well as an expanded custom cable assembly department and fiber-optic termination lab. This expansion will enable Gepco to continue producing new and innovative products at the rapid pace demanded by the industry.

"We are pleased to announce that we are both growing and expanding our manufacturing capabilities," said Gary Geppert, CEO/CTO of Gepco International. "Our continual growth is a direct result of our constant innovation and high level of support we have offered to our customers."
