With demand for ATMs continuing to grow, Diebold faced a lengthy production backlog in 1996, leading to its 1997 addition of three new U.S. manufacturing facilities in Staunton and Danville, Virginia, and in Lexington, North Carolina. The company also expanded and upgraded its existing U.S. plants in Canton and Sumter, South Carolina. Diebold continued to operate other manufacturing facilities in Germany, China, India, and the United States.
Although Diebold's share of the U.S. ATM market had fallen from about 55 percent in 1992 to about 40 percent in 1996--thanks in large part to new competitors, most notably Triton Systems Corp., based in Long Beach, Mississippi--the rapid growth in ATMs worldwide, 41 percent in 1996 alone, provided an environment for healthy growth and profitability. Diebold's net sales more than doubled from 1990 to 1996, from $476.1 million to $1.03 billion, while net income grew even faster, increasing from $27.1 million in 1990 to $97.4 million in 1996. The company was growing so fast that in late 1996 it was somewhat belatedly decided that the positions of president and COO--which Mahoney had assumed two years earlier while remaining CEO and chairman&mdash⁄ould finally be given to someone else, namely Gregg A. Searle, who had been an executive vice-president.
Diebold's managers felt confident enough about the company's ability to sell ATMs overseas that in July 1997 they announced that the company intended to discontinue the InterBold joint venture with IBM, phasing it out over the following 18 months. Talks between Diebold and IBM were soon underway over Diebold buying IBM's 30 percent InterBold stake. This bold move was indicative of a company filled with confidence about its future. Still the world leader in the far-from-mature ATM market--and with numerous overseas markets still only starting to develop ATM networks--Diebold could count on many more years of revenues and profits from its bread-and-butter product line. And it also was aggressively seeking out the blockbusters of tomorrow through its involvement with ICAMs, medical dispensing systems, smart cards, and also transaction software for the Internet. Diebold could certainly face the new millennium feeling safe and secure.
