Nutek Announces Record Monthly Sales.
LAS
VEGAS, May 22, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE)
-- Nutek Inc. (NUTK) announces
monthly sales record exceeded along
with continued growth in operations.
The Company announces May to be a
record sales month, having already
exceeded the previous record set in
November 2002 where revenues of
$658,000 were achieved.
"Fiscal year 2002 was the most
successful in the company's history
and we feel confident 2003 will
continue this trend," said Murray
Conradie, president and CEO of
Nutek.
Additional key achievements year to
date include:
-- Strategic new customers,
including services to several top
market research companies;
-- The current evaluation of our
call center facilities by leading
industry outsourcers;
-- Continued expansion of
Datascension's Costa Rican
facilities;
-- The complete redesign of TekPlate
packaging and marketing collateral;
and
-- The commencement of a $1 million
private placement for Nutek Oil
preferred stock to existing
shareholders.
Commenting on the first quarter,
Nutek COO, Scott Kincer said, "This
was an excellent first quarter for
us given the reduced work days
available resulting from the
relocation to our new Datascension
facilities in Brea, California. We
are extremely pleased with the
results and the cost savings
associated with this move and look
forward to another successful year.
"Our continued growth in 2003
indicates existing customers are
clearly satisfied with our services,
which has lead to numerous companies
seeking our services. Recently, we
received several large contracts
with new customers, including
additional commitments from our
existing customers. Additionally,
our backlog has continued to grow as
we transition to becoming a leading
provider of Spanish-speaking call
center interviewers. We have
continued to experience a robust and
increasing demand for our services
and have expanded our Costa Rican
call center operations from 350
seats at year-end, to a current
level of 490 seats with a further 80
planned by midyear to keep pace with
this increasing demand.
"Our operations are running
extremely well and we are very proud
of the level of service we are
providing our customers. The
outstanding management team
assembled is focused on the
objective of excellence in customer
service and support and we are
excited about the opportunities we
see to deliver value to our
customers and to our shareholders,"
concluded Kincer.
Commenting on operations, Jason
Griffith, CFO, said, "After
completing our most successful year
(2002), we began 2003 with great
expectations and ambitious growth
plans. The performance to date has
exceeded all of our goals for sales
growth, which makes these
accomplishments even more gratifying
considering the current challenges
in the economy."
Mr. Conradie concluded by saying,
"Looking ahead to the remainder of
2003, we know the economy remains
uncertain and world events may
affect us in unforeseen ways.
Nevertheless, we believe the company
continues to resonate strongly with
customers in terms of value,
selection and service."
