IFFA 2004, one of the world's largest food exhibitions, was held in Frankfurt, Germany on May 15-19th, in the year of 70th Anniversary of Teraoka Seiko, Japan. IFFA, the leading exhibition mainly for butchers, draws over 50,000 visitors from around the world to see new technology and solutions in the food industry.

In the retail area, DIGI's total product range was shown; from economic scales to high-end printer scales and prepack equipment, and the system using FTP communication was set up including Radio Frequency communication. The highlights among the products were PC based scales, the SM-800 and the SM-710 series system scales. Various types of the SM-800 models were shown, linked in system together with PC application software WinDigi. Many of visitors were impressed with the SM-800, its design and quality including the unique feature of the transparent display of the SM-880. The SM-800 series was also picked up by the exhibition press center and a leading magazine as an innovative and quality design product.
In the food industrial area, the range of solutions for the factory production line was shown, from wrapping to carton box labeling. New products included PC based indexers and manual weigh-labeling machines. In addition, the barcode verifier and the image recognition were shown.

A.S. in Istanbul, an affiliate of Teraoka/DIGI group, has continuously developed their market success both on the low-end and the hi-end fronts in Turkey and neighboring countries.
On May 20-21, DigiFiter held the traditional dealer meeting in Antalya, a resort city on the Mediterranean Coast of Turkey. Some 30 business partners from all over the country, and DIGI distributors from Moldova, Azerbaijan and Northern Cyprus, participated in the conference held under the theme: "Caminando and Avlando'' (Let's walk and talk).
This ancient Spanish-Jewish saying was chosen by DigiFiter's General Manager, Onur Gunay, particularly for its undertone of ''resolving questions whilst moving ahead''. It fits well our long-standing relations both with Teraoka/DIGI and with our national and international dealers. We were also honored by the presence of Mr. Daniel Ang and Mr. Tomonari Koyonagi of Teraoka Weigh-System Pte. Ltd. in Singapore.
The "move forward'' will bring a sales record of low-end scales in 2004 reaching some 7000 units. As for the SM series, DigiFiter plans to sell about 1000 units by the end of this year.

| At the meeting |
Two major retail customers have recently opted for DIGI scales: Adese in Konya, with 15 stores in Turkey, installed 150 units of SM series scales. Tansa , one of the largest chains, is very keen to the Wi-Fi concept as applied to the SM-500. Already 6 stores have been equipped and some 10 more are in the pipeline.
As the founder of DigiFiter, Mr. Arditti feels well surrounded by talented people of the DIGI family, of which we try to be a proud member.
