MJSA & Ganoksin Partner in Information-Sharing Program
 

Press Release - July 2003


Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America and the Ganoksin
Project Partner in Information-Sharing Program

Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America (MJSA) and The
Ganoksin Project have joined forces to create an information-sharing
program that will expand the availability of technical and business
expertise for the jewelry industry.

Under this agreement, the Ganoksin site (http://www.ganoksin.com)
will each month post information from AJM Magazine, MJSA's flagship
monthly trade publication; topics will range from bench tips (many
from the magazine's popular At the Bench section) to volume
manufacturing techniques to business and marketing advice.

In addition, AJM Online (http://www.ajm-magazine.com) will add
information from the Ganoksin site which includes the popular Orchid
forums (http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid) and "Tips from the Jeweler's
Bench" online library (http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat) to the
offerings in the AJM Tech Tips searchable archive. The archive
allows searches to be conducted by keywords/topics, enabling fast
access to specific information.

"Given AJM's reputation in the industry for incisive, authoritative
technical and business articles, and Ganoksin's reputation as one of
the industry's pre-eminent online resources, this partnership seems
only natural," says James F. Marquart, President/CEO of MJSA and
Publisher of AJM Magazine. "MJSA and AJM are dedicated to ensuring
jewelers have the knowledge they need to remain competitive, and our
collaboration with Ganoksin will greatly help us to achieve this
aim."

Dr. E. Aspler (Hanuman) of Ganoksin said: "I look forward to working
with AJM to continue the growth of The Ganoksin Project. I am very
pleased that AJM has agreed to take an active role in our mission of
fostering information in the jewelry and metal arts fields
globally."
