It has flourished through the tech downturn by delivering millions in cost savings through the application of its proprietary technology," stated Carlisle. "During ePAC's first four years, it has flawlessly continued to roll out its industry-leading technology. This gives ePAC a considerable lead in its industry, and has earned them incredible endorsements from their customers." "ePAC has thrived where the other providers are struggling for survival. This lets ePAC use the new round of funding to expand its already substantial lead and to bring new technology to market that could produce the biggest breakthrough in print manufacturing in the last 100 years," added Carlisle. "We chose Menlo as our partner because of their clear focus and commitment to helping us deliver a great solution for our customers," said Mr. Sasha Dobrovolsky, president and CEO, ePAC.
