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."
