Contex Buys IDEAL Scanners Distribution Division
 ROCKVILLE,
MD, July 3, 2008 - IDEAL announced today that its Scanners Distribution
Division has been acquired by Contex. IDEAL has consistently been Contex's
largest US-based distributor of wide-format scanning and imaging solutions,
since 1988. This acquisition is designed to provide stronger and more direct
support to IDEAL's large format scanning business partners, distributors and
dealers. Additionally, consolidation of the Scanners Distribution Division
with Contex enables IDEAL to focus on growth and customer service in their
other offerings: IDEAL PlanRooms, IDEAL Software Solutions and IDEAL
Scanning and 3D Printing Services.
"This acquisition has been timed to coincide with growth in our other
products," says Jay Magenheim, President of IDEAL. "Demand for online plan
rooms and other online document management services is increasing, as is
demand for 3D printing services and scanning services. We are expanding our
software development efforts, re-vamping and re-vitalizing our scanning and
3D printing services, and looking forward to expanding into new market
areas."
"We are very excited to continue our presence in the large-format
scanning marketplace with Contex, We're confident that the combined
strengths, service expertise and talent of our two companies will deliver a
positive experience for distributors, dealers and end-customers alike," says
Phil Magenheim, President and COO, Contex Americas, and co-founder of IDEAL.
With increased focus on development and services, IDEAL plans to continue
their large-format focus, and, in addition to explore other markets and
other solutions that are in keeping with their core corporate values and
mission.
