Eschborn, April 2007 – Verbatim, the European market leader for optical storage media, has successfully expanded its leading position on the market for CD-R and DVD-R media over the last year.

For CD-Rs, it was one in four. “This result shows that Verbatim, with its high demands on product quality, is pursuing the correct strategy”, says Torsten Leye, Marketing Manager Optical Verbatim EUMEA. In 2007, Verbatim is also pushing for strong growth in the non-optical sector, with particular focus on the market for flash technologies.
