 SPOTLIGHT

Emmanuel Picot
President & CEO

Stay the course...
During the past few months, the media, as in every far-flung corner of the globe, have made their headlines speaking about the ongoing economic downturn. Several people around me have asked as to what strategies has, or will, Evolis come up with to overcome such dire times and successfully ride out this global financial tsunami.
Well, I have this to say: a corporate strategy does not fluctuate or buckle under the course of events however dramatic or volatile such turbulence may be. One has to stick steadfastly to his vision, belief, and business model, and adapt to the situation.
Exceptional situations, similar to the one we are currently experiencing, can generate opportunities that are equally exceptional, and actually reshape adversity into the key to boosting business for a company and for its distribution network. I am convinced that such opportunities now exist for each of you, and thus, for us. More than ever, we must stay the course to succeed as a single entity.
How about tackling this crisis by relying even further on our creativity, responsiveness, quality and pragmatic opportunism? And as this new year begins in a doubtful way, we all also need sound ethics and common sense to help our developments and projects be sustainable in the long run.
On behalf of everyone here at Evolis, I heartily thank you for your support and business, and most of all, for your continuing commitment to our Company and its products.

Sales Director
 EMEA & APAC

Evolis EMEA, Asia and Pacific
Another year has passed marked by the opening of our Representative Office in Tokyo, a new and strengthened sales team in Singapore, the arrival of several new members to our EMEA Sales Team in Angers and, last but not the least, the pleasure of welcoming many new partners to our network.
This confirms our determination in pursuing our long-term objectives by developing our activity in a larger number of vertical and geographical markets, and the current events, caused by the recent economic recession, only encourages us to work even harder to identify and generate new business opportunities.
These are the times during which we have to demonstrate perseverance and creativity, and we place full confidence in our partners and our own capabilities to overcome this year’s new challenges.

Gerardo Talavera
Sales Director Americas

Evolis inc.
In 2008, Evolis Inc. continued reinforcing its position as a key player on the ID card printing industry in the Americas despite an undeniable economic downturn. Our combined efforts with our network of distributors helped us grow faster and stronger, while positioning Evolis as a very reliable and solid brand on the ID card printing market. We want to thank our partners and customers for their trust and support, and we look forward to an even more successful new year.
In 2009, we will face more challenges mainly due to the difficult economic situation. But over the years, we built our growth on solid grounds: high-quality products, premium customer service, close relationships with our partners, dedicated sales, marketing and technical support teams to answer every single need efficiently and effectively.
Our teams are ready to cope with these difficult times: we will double our efforts to continue growing and help our network develop their business with Evolis for many years to come.

This article has a specific focus on Evolis card printers, as Mike Sloe, from Total ID, an Evolis Value Added Reseller in the USA, declared: "We use Evolis printers because, in the two years of selling them we've never had one returned". Yet another example of Evolis printers’ reliability and seamless integration.
