Sirius Italy has reconfigured its North American product distribution.
1) Sirius distributors will purchase product in container loads directly from Italy.
Sirius said, "This positive step has been taken in order to eliminate the unnecessary cost of a lengthy distribution chain and to ensure that the product line remains price competitive under the current and evolving market conditions."
Other changes:
2) Sirius Italy will take over the management of marketing, promotion and show planning.
3) The Sirius USA warehouse will be closed effective July 1 2008.
4) An inter-distributor inventory management and shipping program has been structured to ward against stock-outs and trans-Atlantic backorders.
5) A MAP (Minimum Advertised Pricing) program has been launched to limit cross territory internet sales.
6) Sirius USA President Allen Lombard takes on the newly created position of North American Market Dvlp Mgr directly with Sirius Italy.
Sirius said they "will of course continue with the high standard of customer service and after sales support through a national service company."
