In this issue of the Argox newsletter we preview our newest scanner, the AS-8000, and introduce the Gold K Club. We also review our two April road shows that visited dealers in Eastern Europe and S.E. Asia.

After the show our sales team visited four other countries, including Poland, Russia, Hungary, and Croatia. We discovered that Argox has developed a positive image among dealers in the Eastern European countries and we're becoming a well known brand there. In Poland we received an order for our new AS-8000 scanners plus our portable data collectors. In Hungary, we demoed our scanners and portable data collectors to a distributor of our barcode printers. They were impressed with the capabilities and functions available and will add these products to their next order. A distributor in Croatia will also soon place an order.

This is the fourth time that our sales representative Ting Ting has traveled to Eastern Europe. The previous visits were mostly spent introducing products. But this time, after meeting with 19 dealers and distributors in five countries, Ting Ting is glad to finally return with substantial orders. Argox's effort to become a brand known for quality and value in this great potential market is just beginning to show results.

For technical training we discussed key issues, including technical support. We also gave a live demonstration of our new AS-8000 scanner, and left demo units for first-hand evaluation. Our dealers and distributors were very excited about this new scanner and we heard lots of positive feedback. We look forward to our next trip to S.E. Asia later this year.
