PartnerTech and 3CEMS enter into a closer cooperation

The past years of cooperation have demonstrated that PartnerTech and 3CEMS are a
strong team. Entering into this new phase customers will benefit from improved
sourcing power and a wider technological expertise. Greater local presence both
in Asia and Europe will strengthen our ability to handle different products
throughout the lifecycle and all the way to the end-customer.

PartnerTech and 3CEMS have cooperated successfully for the past six years, where
amongst other things 3CEMS has been PartnerTech's production partner in China.
With diversified market segments and a wide geographical presence, there have
been many advantages for both partners and thus the decision has been taken to
deepen this relationship for the future.

The agreement signed today in Guan Zhou, Peoples Republic of China, signifies a
deeper level of co-operation and joint activities within the areas of sales,
marketing and strategic sourcing. In the area of sourcing the cooperation means
a further improved quality control and component evaluation. Another positive
effect of the co-operation is an increase of knowledge and competence sharing.
3CEMS will continue to be PartnerTech's production partner in China and as such,
with their strong presence in Asia and expertise within EMS (Electronic
Manufacturing Services) manufacturing, will complement PartnerTech's strength
within European business-to-business contract manufacturing.
