Allow me to introduce... Glenn Amburgy - After 21 years at FESSCO, Glenn Amburgy is a reliable fixture in Assembly and Shipping. Glenn has been a dedicated and knowledgeable employee who is relied upon by both customers and co-workers. Glenn's knowledge of dater assembly and mounting is unsurpassed by anyone in the industry. There is no product beyond Glenn's capabilities and he has kept up with the changing technology in our industry. So much so that at times you might walk by Glenn in his department and hear him softly singing "Secret Dater Man" to the tune of Secret Agent Man. Glenn's long term commitments extend to his family life also. In September he and his wife, Susie will be married 37 years. They have 4 children and 10 grandchildren. Glenn likes to relax with his family and to also read and watch movies. His favorite genre is Science Fiction and Fantasy often play-acting the plots. So much so that in his younger years he was told that he was a Sean Connery look alike from The Highlander. FESSCO is proud to have people of Glenn's caliber at our company.

Effective April 1, 2008, FESSCO will be adjusting our suggested retail prices on the entire Xstamper product line. Shachihata's national published retail pricing actually changed in January 2007, and FESSCO has absorbed price increases on the Xstamper parts and components for over a year. We are proud to be one of a few select companies who proudly manufacture the Xstamper line of products. While many inferior marking devices have flooded the marketplace, the Xstamper brand has continued to define the quality and value standard for our industry. If you would like to see a listing of the upcoming price changes, please feel free to request a copy.

We are also working on the dater products available in the Ideal Self Inking Stamps line, as well as adding additonal needed templates to all the new Ideal stamps listed in this update.

"Upload Your Own" sections are being added to all product lines and will be listed in a way similar to the current Xstamper Upload Your Own section.
