DPC Moves into New Corporate Offices

In
August of 2004, DPC moved into its new corporate offices in Los Angeles.
DPC purchased the property and building last year to accommodate growth
in virtually every department. The 170,000-square-foot building's interior
had not been built out, allowing DPC to design the facility to its specific
requirements. After nearly a year of design and construction, the campus
is now occupied and fully functional.
The
new headquarters is located on Pacific Concourse Drive, about 1-1/2 miles
southeast of the existing DPC facility, near the Los Angeles International
Airport. This campus now houses the Company's administrative, research
and development, and technical support functions, bringing together groups
that had previously been operating out of the main location and a leased
satellite suite in an offsite office building. Manufacturing, shipping,
receiving and selected other operational functions continue to operate
at the existing site, which is also being redesigned for maximum utility.
DPC's
growth has exceeded double digits each year over the past five years.
Approximately 450 employees have moved to the new facility, a much-needed
expansion for the Company. With the combined area of the original and
new facilities, the Company has increased workspace in all departments
by more than 60 percent. The additional space has increased manufacturing
and operational efficiencies, and will allow the Company to enhance its
timely response to customers' needs both now and in the future.
The
new corporate headquarters serves as a modern, world-class venue for training
seminars and corporate meetings for DPC customers, employees and corporate
partners. At the 2004 AACC meeting held in Los Angeles, DPC was proud
to host a pre-grand opening event for its customers and corporate partners
at the new site. Over 600 guests enjoyed tours of the new campus as well
as dinner and entertainment with a Hollywood Safari theme.
