^{Over 9,500 parts are now available for Kodak-manufactured copiers and printers}

OLATHE, KANSAS, March 15, 2002 … XTEC, a leading provider of repair and parts management services, announces the creation of the Parts Superstore. The Parts Superstore is XTEC’s exciting new parts and repairs service offering for the third-party service industry. The Parts Superstore will initially offer over 9,500 parts for Kodak-manufactured copiers and printers, as well as repair services for copiers and printers manufactured by Kodak and Xerox®. Available Kodak parts include image loops, electronics, rollers, mechanical parts, subassemblies, and technical documentation. All products are guaranteed OEM-quality, and many are available from no other source. Orders may be placed by telephone, or through the new online parts ordering area of XTEC’s website, www.XTEConline.com/PartsSuperStore.

In addition, XTEC can assist companies interested in entering or expanding their service offerings in the Kodak product line by providing off-lease high volume copiers at very attractive prices. “This is a market that has long been under served,” according to XTEC President, Scott Martell. “These machines have a lot to offer third-party service companies and self-maintainers – very attractive initial cost, lower service costs than competitive machines, and now with the introduction of the Parts Superstore, the necessary support is in place to make third-party service a big winner.” Additional information on this program and its benefits are available at www.XTEConline.com.
