These award-winning products are marketed under the following lines: Zinger Millennia desktop computers, Zinger TransPort notebook computers, Zinger ClientPro corporate computers, and HP NetServer servers. These product lines are manufactured exclusively at the company’s facilities in Cheyenne, Wyoming. ZingPC products can be purchased directly from the company’s Web site http://www.ZingPC. com, by calling a toll-free 800 telephone number, through company field sales representatives, and through leading national retailers.
Early Successes and Challenges
As a new organization, ZingPC adopted a product-focused strategy. Its goal was to provide the fastest and most powerful PC on the market. ZingPC built a 216,000- square-foot facility in Laramie, Wyoming (more than doubling its original capacity), and dedicated a large portion of this multifunctional facility (120,000 square feet) to PC assembly.
