Sentinel is investing 4.8 million Euro in a new production plant for DVD+RW media. This investment makes Sentinel one of the European pioneers in introducing rewritable DVD media. The speed at which DVD+RW is taking over the market shows clearly that we are looking at the de facto standard. This confirms Sentinel's previous decision to make phase change a core competency.

In a first phase, planned for May 2002, Sentinel will produce High Speed CD-RW media. When the DVD+RW market really opens up in the fourth quarter, Sentinel will position itself as one of the few DVD+RW media manufacturers in Europe. In this way, Sentinel is consolidating its position as the most comprehensive data storage specialist.

The combination of the new generation of storage media, its famous quality assurance and comprehensive service provision result in the offering of Sentinel and Euroselect branded products, bulk products and private label services.

Sentinel is convinced that, with the choice of DVD+RW media and therefore phase change technology, the path has been laid for the next generation of optical storage media.
