Austin's Sydcor Becomes Compadre

New Name Describes Partnering Philosophy

Austin, Texas , February 14, 2008 -- Sydcor is becoming Compadre. The leading supply chain, managed-services provider has changed its name to differentiate the evolving company as a trusted partner.

"Product delivery is becoming its own industry and we're leading the change," said Darryl Kelinske, principal and CEO. "Compadre is a trusted ally that world-class consumer electronics manufacturers count on. We bring a broad expertise of the materials and processes needed to efficiently deliver finished products to customers."

The first to develop smartHUBsTM, Compadre provides mid-size and Fortune 1000 companies with customized solutions for packaging materials. The smartHUB concept was developed to react to dynamic volumes and changing conditions, allowing manufacturers to quickly respond to customers' needs. Compadre's smartHUB solutions specialize in materials management and sourcing; materials-neutral design, prototyping and testing; and ultraliteTM fulfillment.

"Everyday we provide solutions in an on-demand environment to get the right part to the right place on time," notes Keith Jacoby, vice president, operations and product delivery.

The name change and branding campaign is part of a transformation under a new executive team, which recently completed a buy-out. The new logo, depicting man's best friend, exemplifies Compadre's vision for the company: a faithful companion eager to successfully tackle the next project.

"Compadre regionalizes product delivery by creating an agile, responsive structure. We were recognized for this as Sydcor," said Kirk Coburn, principal and vice president, marketing and relationships. "Our new name represents the absolute focus on partnership and collaboration. Our customers know that we've got their backs."
