A
Corporate History
Indus International, Inc. was established in 1985 when the West Salem, Wisconsin
based micrographic equipment
manufacturing facility operated by the NCR Corporation
was closed down.
Twenty five jobs were retained because of the establishment
of the new company. Immediately thereafter, the new company
embarked on expansion
of the product line by designing Microfiche and Microfilm Readers for the
United
States Defense Department and the Library market.
In 1986, after qualifying
as a MIL-SPEC manufacturing facility, Indus was awarded its first contract by the
Department of Defense
for the manufacture of 14,000 MIL-SPEC Microfiche Readers
for the use of the Defense Department.
Employment in 1987 increased from
the initial 25 to 47 people to fulfill the DOD order for the 14,000 readers.
Indus
continued its effort to develop and bring to market new products. A Reader-in-a--Briefcase
was introduced in late 1987.
A Jumbo Fiche (special fiche used by European car
manufacturers - VW, BMW and Porsche) Reader was introduced in 1988.
In 1990
Indus started manufacturing a Library and Geneoloqy Microfilm Reader for use in libraries
and for genealogy study.
This product was designed to meet the ADA (American
Disability Act) requirements for library equipment.
Indus is an exporter
of the products that it manufacturers. Microfiche and Microfilm Readers manufactured
by Indus are sold in
Europe, the Far East, South America, and Australia. In many
of the markets these products are sold by large American Corporations
such as
Eastman Kodak; 3M, NCR Corporation (now a part of AT&T) and Bell & Howell.
In some countries the products are sold by well established local dealers of
micrographic equipment.
In 1993 Indus was awarded a Certificate of Commendation
by the Governor of the State of Wisconsin for being a
state leader in the practice
of Total Quality Management.
The microfilm/microfiche market has seen a decline
in the last five years due to the introduction of newer technologies for
document
storage and retrieval and information management. Yet Indus has found niche markets
for specialty products
and introduced a reader for the Automotive Paint industry.
Now Indus supplies Fiber Optic Readers to ICI, Sherwin Williams,
BASF; Dupont
and Akzo Nobel; all very large manufacturers of automotive paints. To further secure
its future, Indus started to look into
the possibility of being part of the new
technology by becoming a provider of Electronic Information Management Systems.
INDUS
MIS. INC. - A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY IS FORMED
In 1989 Indus planned for its
transition to the newer technology and established Indus MIS, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary
to explore opportunities in the electronic information management field.
In 1990 Indus MIS, Inc. collaborated with a very large European developer
of electronic information management software
and learned a great deal about
the up and coming technology that managed information electronically. The result
of this was the
decision to develop a system that was introduced in 1992 and
called Virtual Office Information. Indus' knowledge of
Records Management and
the availability of the new technology in electronic information management allowed
Indus to develop
a very robust and productivity oriented system.
