Dawi Disc Services

Dawi Disc Services is a strong player in the field of data duplication (CD-ROMs, CD Recordables and diskettes). The company has in the past years acquired a lot of knowledge on media duplication and printing, printing support and the complete packaging, parcelling and distribution of data carriers. By offering this complete fulfilment concept Dawi Disc Services makes life a lot easier for its customers.

Dawi formed part of the listed company Samas Group. In 1999 the management and GEM Benelux made the company independent by means of a management buy-out. In the subsequent year they successfully secured the further growth and professionalisation of the company.

In October 2000 Dawi Disc Services was taken over by Care4Data, a European producer and distributor of blank media and software duplicates. In the Netherlands the companies Supply House (software duplication) and Sentinel (production of CDs) form part of Care4Data. The new combination is one of the largest companies in software duplication in the Netherlands. Apart from in the Netherlands, Care4Data also has locations in France, Germany and Belgium.
