Sager Midern Computer, Inc., is an ODM computer manufacturer specializing in laptop computers. The company is commonly referred to as Sager Notebook Computer, as indicated by their website. The company was founded in City of Industry, California. Since its inception, Sager has remained at its office location in City of Industry. Although being physically located in California, Sager markets its products throughout all of the United States and offers world-wide shipping. During its time of operation, Sager has gained public recognition as the go-to company for extreme high performance mobile computing. Company Profile Sager Notebook Computer is only an online reseller, meaning it does not provide a physical store where consumers can make purchases, although, it is possible to submit orders via fax and telephone. In addition to direct ordering from Sager, it is possible to order Sager laptops from other vendors. Besides functioning as an online retailer, Sager also offers hardware diagramming and design plus technical training and support. Sager currently employs approximately 50 workers in its office in California. Sager's estimated annual sales are considered to be between $8-9 million. Role in the Distribution Process While "A-brands" such as Dell, Toshiba, IBM or HP are manufactured on a contract basis where contract manufacturers assemble laptop computers as specified by the "A-brand", Sager has chosen the way of purchasing finished and generic chassis designed and built by Original Design Manufacturers or ODMs. Sager then assembles the laptop with parts chosen by the final customer, puts its logo on the chassis and sells them under the brand Sager. Sager then provides support to these computers. Sager Midern Computer mainly uses Clevo chassis, which can also be found under Alienware, VoodooPC and Hypersonic brands. Sager also occasionally uses base chassis from Compal.
