Elcor Announces Orders for Ericsson Digital Cellular Phones
DALLAS, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Elcor Corporation (NYSE: ELK) today announced
that its Cybershield subsidiary has received production tooling orders for
Ericsson digital wireless cellular phones.
Richard J. Rosebery, Vice Chairman of Elcor and Chairman of Cybershield,
said, "Ericsson has selected Cybershield as a prime contractor for
high-volume production of selected current and future models of Ericsson's
digital wireless cellular phones. Production of selected current models will
begin this fall and production of selected future models will begin this
winter. We look forward to becoming an important member of Ericsson's supply
chain management team.
"Cybershield will employ several different shielding and decorative products
in the production of the Ericsson cellular phone units. Ericsson's
requirements will be produced at Cybershield's new Canton, Georgia facility.
We expect to expand these facilities as necessary to accommodate the growing
volume of production for Ericsson and our other customers.
"Cybershield is our new corporate identity for Elcor's high-growth/high-tech
shielding business that has become the Western Hemisphere's leading supplier
of electroless shielding for plastic components used in digital wireless
cellular telephones. In fiscal 1999, Cybershield supplied shielding products
for over 20 million digital wireless cellular phones, and we expect that
demand could more than double in fiscal 2000. Our shielding products reduce
the emission of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference given off by
microchips and electronic components to levels equal to or less than those
required by the FCC. Rapidly expanding technology is driving strong demand
for Cybershield shielding products because they provide superior shielding
effectiveness at the higher frequencies used to achieve faster microchip
speeds.
"Cybershield's important telecommunications customers also include Nokia,
Motorola, Lucent Technologies, AT&T, NEC, and Denso. Cybershield has earned
the leadership position in the high-growth/high-tech digital wireless
cellular phone market by consistently supplying superior quality products,
making deliveries on time and quickly responding to customers' needs with
innovative technical solutions that frequently enhance performance of their
products," he concluded.
