MYDATA introduces the next generation of pick and place machines 

Bromma, Sweden, April 2, 2008

MYDATA introduces the next generation of pick and place machines at this year's
APEX show in Las Vegas. The MY100 Series is a completely new placement machine
platform which is pushing the limits of SMT technology. The new machine series
broadens the MYDATA product range to suit even higher production requirements.

- Our role at MYDATA is simple, states MYDATA CEO Bengt Broman. To anticipate
the needs of our customers and to provide solutions that help them achieve their
goals of growth and profitability. I am excited by the fact that the MY100DX not
only meets this requirement, but exceeds all expectations.

The MY100 Series delivers 70% more throughput and a host of other enhancements -
whilst still maintaining MYDATA's traditional values of flexibility and
efficiency.

- The MY100 is the most complete, all-in-one SMT machine in the industry, says
Robert Göthner, Vice President Marketing and Sales at MYDATA. The machine is
designed for a 24/7 production environment; with higher speeds, a higher feeder
capacity, higher accuracy and improved reliability - all in a machine that's as
flexible as anyone would expect from MYDATA.

The new series consists of MY100DX-10 and MY100DX-14, with 96 and 160 feeder
positions respectively, and can be configured with various synergy options for
in-line production. The new machines are compatible with the existing range of
machines, feeders and software, giving customers the opportunity to utilize
previous investments and match their needs exactly.

The MY100 Series will be released worldwide on April 10, 2008
