ITW Thermal Films selects National Service Center to Further Enhance Value Proposition to Distributor Base.

GREENVILLE, SC -- National Service Center (NSC), a service only company providing service, repair, spare parts distribution, rollouts and installations for barcode, data capture, laser and point-of-sale equipment, announced today that they were selected by ITW Thermal Films to provide access to discounted thermal printer service plans for ITW Thermal Films distributors. NSC will work direct with ITW Thermal Films distributors on the sale and implementation of these service plans.

ITW Thermal Films distributors can now achieve a discount on thermal printer service plans from National Service Center by purchasing ITW Thermal Films thermal transfer ribbons. ITW Thermal Films sales organization is prepared to discuss the criteria for eligibility into this program. ITW Thermal Films will absorb a portion of the cost of these service plans. On-site and depot service plans are available for both printer and scanner products.

NSC President, Joe Pittillo commented, "ITW Thermal Films was looking for a way to increase their value to distributors. By looking outside of traditional value features, ITW Thermal Films has formulated a very unique and aggressive plan to deliver added value to their customer base through this service package."

"This program fits well within NSC's neutral business structure due to the simple fact that we are only delivering service to ITW Thermal Film's customers, not media sales. We are excited about this program and look forward to assisting ITW Thermal Films grow their business."

Marc Foerster, Sales Manager, ITW Thermal Films stated, "It is our expectation that through this program, ITW Thermal Film's customers will receive added benefits in a way that has never been offered before in the industry. We are currently evaluating other value-added services to bring to our customers in the near future."

"By offering this program to their current customer and prospect base, we hope that ITW Thermal Film's distributors will increase their own TTR business."
