Kahl am Main, June 25, 2008. SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES (SINGULUS) received a
large order for 15 DVD lines for machines of the SPACELINE II type from a
well-known European replicator for its European sites a couple of days ago.
With the new order SINGULUS further extends its leading position in the
segment for prerecorded DVD replication lines. With a global market share
of more than 65 % and a significant lead over the second largest player in
the market, the company is undisputed market leader in this equipment
segment.
The growth for the DVD is unbroken. According to the Bundesverband
audiovisueller Medien e.V. (bvv) (German Association for audio-visual
media) sales in the DVD market increased significantly by 7 % in Germany in
the first quarter 2008. The most successful movie was 'Ratatouille'
followed by 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' and 'Night at the
Museum'.
Also other regions such as China, many Arabic countries as well as Latin
America are expected to grow their DVD sales.
