Adds Ten Nations to Growing International Distribution

Boston, MA, August 29, 1995 - Zoom Telephonics, a leading manufacturer of faxmodem products, today announced that it has begun shipping to the Philippine Islands.

"We are very encouraged by the recent successes of our global marketing efforts," said Terry Manning, Zoom's Marketing Director. "We are experiencing strong sales growth in Poland, Japan, Portugal, Germany, UK, Holland, South Africa, South America, and the Asia-Pacific Rim, and we look forward to continued penetration into other global markets in months to come."
