Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) has introduced ZeroSet technology into their remanufactured HP LaserJet 4700 fusers. ZeroSet technology is a new remanufacturing solution that will automatically reset the fuser count to zero upon fuser installation. According to the HP LaserJet 4700 service manual, an OEM fuser "contains a fuseable link that is opened when a new fuser is first installed in the printer. This resets the page cound of the fuser to zero."
Before ZeroSet, remanufacturers have been distributing fusers that will either not reset the fuser count or have resorted to selling expensive OEM fusers to customers. Metrofuser's ZeroSet technology employs a fuseable link solution similar OEM fuser proprietary technology enabling Metrofusers remanufactured 4700 fuser to properly reset the fuser count to zero upon installation.
"Technicians have always reset page counts themselves, but HP has designed their fusers to reset the fuser page count automatically," said Mark Makuch, Operations Manager at Metrofuser, "With ZeroSet technology, techs can install our remanufactured fusers and be confident that the fuser count will automatically reset like it is supposed to."
"Remanufactured fusers without ZeroSet technology usually will not reset the fuser page count or clear the "REPLACE IMAGE FUSING UNIT" maintenance message," adds Will DeMuth, COO and co-President, "Not resetting the maintenance message or fuser count leaves the technician guessing about fuser life and risks them changing a fuser with thousands of pages worth of life left, or worse, over-extending the fuser potentially risking the printer going down. ZeroSet saves the technician time and their customer money."

Metrofuser Named to INC Magazine Americas Fastest Growing Private Companies
NEW YORK, August 20, 2008 – Inc. today ranked Metrofuser on its annual ranking of the 500 fastest-growing private companies in the country. The list is the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
Will DeMuth, CEO and Co-President at Metrofuser stated, "We accept this with great pride and humility. We see this as the beginning of continued consistent growth for Metrofuser." Metrofuser's standings include:

REMANUFACTURING MOVING BACK TO US FROM OVERSEAS
REMANUFACTURING MOVING BACK TO US FROM OVERSEAS
Reversing the Decades-Old Trend to Outsource Remanufacturing
In May of this year, global imaging company Canon announced plans to expand its manufacturing capabilities. Given the state of the global economy, they haven’t chosen to do so locally in Japan, nor in the manufacturing-rich and emerging economies of the rest of Eastern Asia. Rather, they have chosen to build it in Virginia, the heart of the eastern United States.
Once the epicenter of global manufacturing, US companies have moved much of their manufacturing outside of the country over the past decades. Canon breaking ground on a new manufacturing facility in the US reverses this trend and creates jobs and certainly eliminates some of the supply chain challenges that they would have faced by importing products from around the globe for resale in the US.
What are the reasons for the trend reversal? In Canon's case, one reason is the positive impact on reducing the CO2 footprint. Tsuneji Uchida, president and chief operating officer, Canon Inc. said in a statement released by Canon, “the combination of producing, selling, collecting and recycling cartridges locally, and eliminating the need to transport products around the world, will allow us to have a positive environmental impact by helping to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide.”
Another reason comes right down to the bottom line savings in time and money. Uchida added that “Canon’s new automated production system will enable the Company to maintain cost competitive manufacturing, better manage labor costs and deliver products in a timely fashion.”
There it is – Finally, the perfect storm that results in localized cost-competitive manufacturing. Until recently, these winds have only skirted US shores, not making any significant impact on the economy, the environment and corporate bottom lines. Now, however, the front has a head-on bearing for us, and it has become the perfect time to turn this storm into a domestic windfall for manufacturing and re-manufacturing companies of all sizes.
The Trend is Clear - Domestic Outsourcing is the Answer
Canon's move validates what remanufacturers across the country have been suggesting for some time – domestic remanufacturing saves time, cost and the environment by simplifying logistics and reducing a company’s carbon footprint. Further, considering the weak dollar and the rising cost of energy worldwide, it makes more sense than it ever has to localize the remanufacturing of IT maintenance items and high mortality parts found in computers, copiers, faxes and printers.
Corporations that do not have the manufacturing infrastructure that companies like Canon have can now look to local manufacturing and logistics companies for solutions that were financially and logistically prohibitive in the not so distant past. Larger service companies and OEMs alike are calling on remanufacturing companies like Metrofuser for reclamation, defective inventory management, recycling and remanufacturing, and warehouse logistics.
As larger OEMs continue to consider domestic remanufacturing and logistics solutions to increase margins and reduce logistical overhead, will US remanufacturing companies answer the call? Will DeMuth, CEO of Metrofuser states, “Over the last year, Metrofuser has invested significant time and resources into providing (those solutions).” He adds, “our commitment to develop and improve service solutions has already helped OEMs maintain their commitment to their own customers, the environment, and their bottom line as we provide them with quality remanufactured laser imaging system components.”
Metrofuser’s August, 2008 move to its new technology center and corporate headquarters in Roselle, NJ “will enable us to expand our operations even further,” DeMuth said.

New Partnership Solidifies LeadershipTeam at Metrofuser
New Partnership Solidifies LeadershipTeam at Metrofuser
Laser printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) announced that it has implemented a new partnership agreement between co- founder and current Vice President of Marketing and Logistics, Will DeMuth, and current Chief Financial Officer, Eric Katz. Todd Katz, former Vice President of Sales has sold his share of the company. "Todd played an integral role in starting this company," Demuth remarked in a statement issued to employees. "His talents and hard work were vital to the early success of Metrofuser. We all wish him the best of success in his future endeavors."
With the new partnership agreement, Eric Katz will become Co- President with DeMuth while continuing his role as Chief Financial Officer. DeMuth will continue his role as Marketing and Logistics lead. The new partnership is intended to solidify the leadership team at Metrofuser. Mark Makuch remains the Director of Operations and Ken Lang had already stepped in and taken over Todd Katz's position as head of the sales department in 2007. "With Eric as Co-President, we can strengthen the foundation that has made Metrofuser the world-class printer parts manufacturer that it is today," DeMuth stated. "We will continue to improve upon that legacy and provide our customers with the best solutions that the industry has to offer."
Since 2005, Eric Katz has been instrumental in establishing the momentum that Metrofuser has created for itself. Katz's entrepreneurial experience began as co-founder and Director of Research of Jumar Technologies, a New York-based software company. Katz, a graduate of Yale University, also spent several years teaching math, English and creative writing at a public school in the South Bronx and currently sits on the Board of Advisors for the Bronx Academy of Letters.
Katz joined Metrofuser and his diverse skill set and versatility have been invaluable in Metrofuser's rapid development. He has helped steer the ship through three consecutive years of 60+ percent revenue growth and proved his executive value by taking the lead role in Metrofuser's expansion to the West Coast, where David Burchell currently runs Metrofuser’s Santa Ana distribution center. "I don't think we could have pulled off opening our new facility in southern California without Eric's leadership and meticulousness," Demuth said. "There are so many operational, logistical and administrative challenges associated with taking a successful small business and making it a national entity, but with the team we've assembled here, I feel confident that we can handle anything."
Next on the horizon is expanding the production, engineering and distribution facilities in New Jersey. "I look forward to this partnership with Will," Eric Katz added, “and I’m really excited by the opportunities that our relocation will afford us. In a larger facility, we’ll be able to service more customers and explore more markets, build our dedicated team and maintain our obsessive commitment to our customers’ satisfaction."
What else will this new partnership bring? Katz and DeMuth both agree that Metrofuser must continue to explore strategic partnership and acquisition opportunities, launch incentive programs for employees and partners, and more. DeMuth added, "We will, of course, continue with our never-ending new product developments and commitment to product quality."
