Sonopress Expands Services for U.S. Games Clients

Storage media manufacturer signs strategic partnership with Solutions 2 GO Inc.

 

The international media service provider Sonopress and the distribution services provider Solutions 2 GO, based in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, have signed a collaboration agreement. Under the new partnership, they will jointly provide PC and video game publishers with integrated services for the U.S. market – from the production of games discs to their packaging and delivery to the U.S. wholesale and retail sectors.

The collaboration between Sonopress and Solutions 2 GO is a joining of forces between two strong and innovative companies. Solutions 2 GO is America’s leading provider of distribution services to the gaming industry, and the exclusive logistics partner of Electronic Arts in the United States. Sonopress is one of the world's leading replication companies and, as a Microsoft-certified producer of Xbox One and Xbox 360 discs, has been a strategic partner to the games industry for years. Sonopress will produce the discs for various U.S. games customers at its headquarters in Gütersloh and send them to the Solutions 2 GO distribution center in Louisville, Kentucky, from where they are then shipped to customers.

“We are delighted to be working with Solutions 2 GO,” says Sven Deutschmann, CEO of Sonopress. “Together, we can offer leading PC and video game publishers a ‘full-service hassles-free package’ for the U.S. market, the world’s largest games market.” Gabrielle Chevalier, Co-CEO of Solutions 2 GO, adds, “We’ve been looking for a replication company that ideally complements our service portfolio for a while. In Sonopress, we have found the perfect partner for our expansion plans.”
