KUBOTEK USA ASSEMBLES STRATEGY TEAM TO DRIVE GROWTH INITIATIVES

Marlborough, MA - January 11, 2006 - Kubotek USA today announces the creation of a high-level "Strategy Team" to serve as the core driving force for new programs and growth initiatives. The Strategy Team is working directly with customers and partners to open up new markets and commercialize complementary products and services that take advantage of Kubotek's unique capabilities in CAD interoperability and real-time imported model editing.

"Today's CAD systems have evolved as powerful and efficient design solutions that support a wide variety of innovation, creativity and complexity," said Robert Bean, chief operating officer, Kubotek USA. "As design and manufacturing engineers have expanded their use of disparate CAD systems and leveraged global development as a competitive advantage, the need for better multi-CAD tools has become essential. Kubotek is pushing the envelope with technology that directly addresses how imported models can be translated reliably and reused alongside other CAD systems."

The Strategy Team combines the talents of existing Kubotek executives with new personnel. The company has attracted Cheryl Salatino as vice president of marketing to lead its market expansion initiative. Ms. Salatino will oversee product and channel marketing, communications, research, and brand development, while driving the company's market positioning effort. A veteran of technology marketing, Ms. Salatino has a 25 year track record of delivering competitive solutions to the marketplace. She has held executive positions at industry leading companies including Sun Microsystems, Computervision, Prime Computer and Raytheon, as well as played pivotal roles in a number of entrepreneurial ventures.

Other key members of the team include Dr. Paul Stallings, the company's vice president of development and Bill DeAngelis, vice president of channel sales.

Dr. Stallings has been tapped to drive product innovation and deliver quality solutions to meet expanding marketplace challenges. Dr. Stallings currently provides the strategic direction for Kubotek's engineering software products, including its flagship design engineering tool KeyCreatorT. In addition, Dr. Stallings oversees the organization's development team. Prior to joining the company, Dr. Stallings led a core development team for ACIS, a product of Spatial Corp., the first commercially available 3D modeling kernel and one of the engineering industry's most widely used 3D component modelers. He is the principal author of the ACIS Space Warping patent. Dr. Stallings spent his early career at Unigraphics.

Mr. DeAngelis, a 20 year CAD industry veteran and Kubotek USA partner champion, is driving channel growth and development. Mr. DeAngelis directs the company's indirect sales channel for success. He is also responsible for partner support and training across the Americas. Mr. DeAngelis has a strong background in the engineering and the use of CAD products. He has spent much of his career working directly with customers to understand how CAD software can serve as a productive design solution. Mr. DeAngelis has held key sales, engineering and technical marketing positions at Parametric Technology, Computervision, think3 and Teradyne.

"Kubotek USA's Strategy Team will be leveraging substantial market momentum," added Bean. "With new technology, partnerships, and a focus on solving the industry's interoperability issues, we have driven strong sales growth over the past year. Our success has engendered considerable visibility in the industry. Kubotek is well positioned to enter new and vital markets by pointing key resources and experienced personnel at an exciting opportunity."
