Description
Magnetic Media Information Services ("MMIS") was organized in late 1965 in Tokyo, Japan, to provide the then-nascent Japanese magnetic tape industry with help in securing needed technology, factory-design assistance, material sourcing, and marketing expertise. Over the ensuing 35 years, MMIS has grown to cover the entire world, with staffed offices in Tokyo and Honolulu, and representatives in 12 other locations. Its business is MEDIA of all kinds, both recorded and recordable, and (despite the company's name) optical as well as magnetic. Today, MMIS is a consortium of consultants, marketing professionals, and technologists, providing services and assistance to manufacturers and resellers of media, analyses and trends forecasts for the media industry and its participants, and technical inputs to both new and well-established producers.
MMIS was originally organized, and is headed today, by the husband-wife team of Laurence and Kiyomi Lueck. "Larry" Lueck has been involved in the magnetic media industry since 1948, when he joined the 3M company upon graduation from the University of Minnesota, and became the sixth member of the company's magnetic tape laboratory. In 1954, he formed his own consulting company to produce magnetic coatings for data-storage drums and disks, and in 1964 took this business to Japan. He and his wife Kiyomi reside in Tokyo part of each year, and also in Honolulu, where the company's data base is located.
MMIS also publishes "MMIS Commentator", the successor to its well-known "Magnetic Media International Newsletter", which provides subscribers with a wealth of information and data on all aspects of the recordable and recorded media industries and the companies involved. Special reports are also issued on topics of importance to the industry. For more detailed information on these publications, see: MMIS Commentator
