PartnerTech strengthens its customer service operations with an efficient
after-sales offering 

PartnerTech is a contract manufacturer that can assume responsibility for a
product all the way from the development stage through delivery to the
end-customer. The company's new plant in Myslowice, Poland serves as a hub for
rapid distribution throughout Europe. We have significantly strengthened our
customer service operations in the United States, where assembly and
distribution for the U.S. market facilitate compliance with import regulations
for most European customers. During the last year, we have also established a
distribution and service center for all the products of Axis Communications, a
world-leading provider of network cameras, that target the North and South
American markets.

PartnerTech has been one of Axis's principal suppliers since the two companies
launched their current collaboration effort in 2003. The products are
manufactured at a number of PartnerTech plants, with the Vellinge Customer
Center as the central link. After nearly a year we see that the responsibility
for distribution and servicing of Axis products in the North and South American
markets generates positive synergies and economies of scale.

By combining the manufacture of thin plate components and enclosures with
systems integration, the Myslowice plant creates an efficient logistics chain.
The plant's proximity to Katowice, an industrial region of southern Poland with
a solid infrastructure, provides rapid access to European shipping routes.
PartnerTech already has distribution centers for a number of customers at its
plants in Sieradz, Poland and Moss, Norway.

"We announced back in early 2009 that we were planning to reinforce our
logistics and after-sales offering to better serve our customers," says Leif
Thorwaldsson, President and CEO of PartnerTech. "Now that many customers are
seeking efficient solutions for distribution, service and final assembly near
their own customers, we are working on getting even better in these areas. The
fact that Axis has chosen us to run their logistics and distribution center for
the important American market is strong and highly gratifying evidence that we
have made the right decision."
