PartnerTech's collaboration with Tomra expands further

As a complete supplier to Tomra Systems, a world-leading manufacturer of
reverse vending machines, PartnerTech has received a new assignment for
the U.S. market. The assignment involves a large product development
project, followed by production at PartnerTech's plant in Atlanta.

As part of a far-reaching collaborative relationship, PartnerTech is a
complete supplier of a large percentage of the products sold by the
Collection Technology business segment of Tomra Systems. The current
assignment, which represents the next step in the relationship, extends
collaboration to more complete product development assignments, as well
as expansion of production solutions into the U.S. market, where
PartnerTech's customer center in Atlanta will take the lead.

The product development assignment involves redesign aimed at optimizing
production. PartnerTech will use its unique Value Analysis/Value
Engineering (VA/VE) tool. Such studies usually end up saving
PartnerTech's customer up to 50% in production costs. Production at the
Atlanta plant is expected to be up and running during the fourth quarter
of 2011.

"We are enthusiastic about the expansion of our collaboration with Tomra
Systems and are very pleased by this new assignment" says PartnerTech
President and CEO Leif Thorwaldsson. "The fact that our geographic
structure benefits Tomra in the U.S. market is also a source of great
satisfaction. We have proactively strengthened our offering in the U.S.
market. Our assembly and distribution activities in the United States
facilitate sales and service for many of our European customers. In
addition to bridging the gap between production and distribution, we are
able to satisfy the growing need of our customers for products that are
"assembled in America."
