Lonza Selects MODA-EM(TM) for Walkersville Facility

MODA Technology Partners (MODA), a software company that provides
mobile data acquisition solutions to the pharmaceutical manufacturing
industry announced today that Lonza has selected MODA-EM(TM) to
automate environmental monitoring processes at its Walkersville, MD
site.

MODA-EM is an innovative software and hardware solution that
improves the performance of environmental monitoring (EM) operations
by eliminating the inefficiencies and reducing error rates inherent
with manual, paper-based systems. The system delivers a tangible
return on investment by removing low value and redundant activities
from EM processes while improving the quality and availability of EM
data.

"We selected a solution that will not only automate our
environmental monitoring program but also facilitate the
transformation to a completely paperless operation," said Tim Coleman
Ph.D., Senior Director of QC Testing Services at Lonza. "We feel that
the improvements in productivity and regulatory compliance that will
result from the MODA-EM implementation will enhance our competitive
position within the contract manufacturing market."

"We are extremely pleased that Lonza has selected MODA as a
business partner and we are committed to helping them increase
efficiency within their EM program," stated David Lipson, MODA CEO and
Chairman. "Their adoption of innovative technology underscores Lonza's
commitment to ongoing process improvement and operational excellence."
