Opus strengthens its management team with a new CFO


21st of August 2008                                                             

- New Chief Financial Officer to take Opus to OMX                               

Following the acquisition of former American partner SysTech International      
during this spring, Opus Prodox AB (publ) now expands its management team with a
new CFO. The appointment of a new CFO is done partly to meet the tougher        
requirements that follows from a listing on OMX Small Cap, but also to          
strengthen the organisation ahead of the expected growth that the Group faces   
during the coming years.                                                        

Opus is an industrial high-tech manufacturer of equipment for environmental- and
safety testing of vehicles with operations in more than 50 countries all over   
the world. The Group consists of ten companies with approx. 150 employees in    
total and now Tomas Jonson, with several years of experience in the financial   
markets, is recruited as CFO. Tomas Jonson joins Opus September 1st and comes   
directly from Nordea Corporate Finance. Prior to that Tomas worked at The Royal 
Bank of Scotland (RBS). Amongst Tomas first assignments will be to take Opus    
from First North to OMX Small Cap during this fall.                             

- During this spring I have worked closely with Opus and gotten to know the     
company well, says Tomas Jonson. Opus is a very interesting company with secure 
revenues, high profit margins and strong growth potential in a promising        
industry. Therefore it is with great pleasure and excitement I now join the     
Group and take part of the coming year's expansion, Tomas ends.                 

Tomas Jonson has worked with corporate finance in Stockholm for approx. four    
years. Tomas has a Bachelor's degree in Business from The London School of      
Economics and Political Science (LSE). His main tasks at Opus will be to lead   
the Group's finance function and work with the company's new business           
opportunities and future potential acquisitions. In addition, Tomas will        
together with Opus CEO be responsible for the company's investor relations      
activities and financial reporting as well as meeting with research analysts.   

- It is with great pleasure I now welcome Tomas onboard Opus management team. In
the coming process of taking Opus to OMX we will have great support from our    
financial adviser, Nordea Corporate Finance, but of course having Tomas onboard 
as CFO will be an additional asset to us. Following the acquisition of SysTech  
we have a totally different position globally and it is therefore completely    
rational that we now strengthen the company's management team. Tomas will be a  
highly valuable complement to the existing management team and I look forward to
being colleagues, says Magnus Greko, CEO and President of Opus.
