PEPC Worldwide today announced the installation of its interactive newspaper kiosk, the PRESSPOiNT™, at upscale hotels in The Dominican Republic, Egypt, Panama and South Korea, and homes for sale in Boise Idaho. PEPC now offers its newspaper-on-demand service in 14 countries around the globe. With the recent addition of South Korean Joongang Ilbo, the PRESSPOiNT™ currently prints the latest editions of 88 newspapers from 40 countries. PEPC’s rapidly growing Publishers Network represents leading publications such as the International Herald Tribune, USA TODAY (USA), the Los Angeles Times (USA), Sports Nippon (Japan), El Pais (Spain), Komsomolskaya Pravda (Russia), Le Figaro (France), Times of India (India) and El Economista (Mexico).

PEPC installs the PRESSPOiNT™ at international, high traffic venues such as hotels, airports, cruise ships and convention centers throughout the world. Through its proprietary Satellite Distribution Network, PEPC distributes the newspapers to the kiosks on a 24/7/365 basis. This seamless distribution method ensures that PRESSPOiNT™-venues can rely on a constant offer of all participating newspapers. PEPC’s innovative distribute-then-sell-then-print model makes pre-purchases and overstocks belong to the past.

In the Dominican Republic a PRESSPOiNT™ is installed at the Hotel Barceló Palace in Higuey. In Egypt at Le Royal Meridien Cairo and the Sheraton Heliopolis Hotel in Cairo, in Panama at the Marriott Panama Hotel in Panama City and in South Korea at the Westin Chosun in Seoul.

About PEPC Worldwide PEPC Worldwide, headquartered in The Hague, The Netherlands, with offices in Miami, Home Care Agency San Diego and Hong Kong, is a global distributor of digitally aggregated content from newspapers around the world. PEPC, founded in 1999, has developed a self-contained interactive kiosk, the PRESSPOiNT™ that digitally prints the latest editions of newspapers, on-demand within minutes. PEPC’s state-of -the-art proprietary software – developed in close co-operation with IBM – and its Private Multicast Satellite Network, have created a Digital Distribution Network – covering 99.1 % of the world population – that provides a distribution “highway” to PRESSPOiNTS around the globe.

PEPC Worldwide has proudly introduced the PRESSPOiNT™, the self-contained, on demand newspaper kiosk, in the United Arab Emirates. With the installation of the PRESSPOiNT™ at the new Fairmont Dubai, a 394-room luxury business hotel, PEPC has currently launched its state-of-the-art, on demand newspaper concept, in four continents. With the recent addition of El Periodico from Guatemala, the PRESSPOiNT™ now digitally prints the latest edition of 66 newspapers from 35 countries.

“With regards to PEPC’s expansion in the Middle Eastern region, the United Arab Emirates form the perfect kick-off”, says Raoul Maphar, CEO of PEPC Worldwide. “Not for nothing Dubai is called the “Manhattan of the East”. The Fairmont is located opposite Dubai’s World Trade Centre and forms a perfect sign board for our product.”

Mr. Michael Kaile, Vice President & General Manager of the Fairmont, has great expectations of the service: “when I heard about the concept I immediately knew that the PRESSPOiNT™ would fit our property. I’m glad that the Fairmont Dubai has the privilege to be the first hotel in the region to install the kiosk.”

While expanding its global network of PRESSPOiNTS, PEPC is teaming up with a growing number of international publishers. Most recently El Periodico from Guatemala joined the PEPC Publishers Network. PEPC’s publishing network represents leading national and international dailies such as the International Herald Tribune, The Miami Herald (USA), The Atlanta Journal & Constitution (USA), El Pais (Spain), Il Giornale (Italy), Die Welt (Germany) and El Economista (Mexico).
