Metro’s move into its new, high-tech distribution facility located at 9327 Deering Avenue in Chatsworth is complete. The company has installed an innovative “carousel” order picking system, which allows for fast and accurate order fulfillment.
“Our facility is the best operation in the adult industry to handle both speedy and accurate order fulfillment for ecommerce and mail order,” said Rick Porras, Metro’s head of operations.
The company’s new facility includes a new, state-of-the-art Graphics Department and a new digitized content management system. Metro has organized and streamlined its library of adult media content, looking forward to expanding its digital offerings to its customers and to consumers.
Most importantly, Metro said it has put together an outstanding team of people to move forward.
Graphics Department: Headed by Marianne Lovett, who has over 20 years of work experience and comes to Metro from VCA/LFP.
Sales Department: Under the direction of Mara Epstein, joined by Matt Diglio, foreign sales manager and Richard Perez, national sales manager. The department has also expanded its staff to better focus on the needs of customer service.
Marketing and Promotions Department: Now consists of a professional team with experience in mainstream and adult entertainment. Kelly LaBanco previously worked in promotions for both Epic and Columbia Records and Jennifer Antonoff, of New Frontier Media, has experience in both promotions and advertising in adult. Corporate branding and distributor promotions will be the focus of this department for the next 12 months.
Production Department: Headed by Gustavo Chavarria, who continues to work with many talented directors, including Skeeter Kerkove (BadAss Pictures), Britney Foster, Pat Myne, Mike Adams, Hank Spain (the hot Cloud 9 Collection) and the newly signed Bridgette Kerkove. Many new series are under development, with a new High-Definition line to be launched in July.
As Metro enters its 40th year in the adult entertainment business, it looks to offer the highest quality films, with the best customer service at the most competitive prices.
