EMJ Data Systems to Distribute Zebra Eltron® Card Printer Products in Canada

 
Canadian Resellers to Benefit from Increased Accessibility to Expanding ID Card/Badge Market
CAMARILLO, Calif., January 15, 2002 — Zebra Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ZBRA), the worldwide leader in bar code labeling solutions and plastic card printers, today announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with EMJ Data Systems, Ltd. (TSE:EMJ), a leading Canadian distributor of computer, networking and wireless solutions. EMJ will support Canadian resellers marketing Zebra Technologies' Eltron card printer products used in applications such as high-security access control, government identification, photo ID cards, employee badges, library cards and other applications where longer life plastic cards are a better solution. In 2001, EMJ acquired former Eltron distributor, SDMS.

"We are very excited to be carrying Eltron card printers for resellers throughout Canada," states Jim Estill, president and CEO of EMJ. "Since our specialty is in creating vertical niches that will help our resellers grow, Zebra's Eltron card printer products help us broaden our solutions for security, auto ID and point-of-sale. End users are continuously implementing new applications for plastic cards. The Eltron brand of card printers is the industry's most respected."

"We're very proud to have EMJ represent us in the Canadian market," emphasizes Zebra Technologies Eltron Card Printer Products North American Sales Manager David Murphy (Edina, Minn.). "We look forward to EMJ supporting the Canadian channel for our Eltron card printer products in the same way Canadian resellers have relied on them for assistance with our Zebra bar code printers."
