ShockWatch and Glacier(R) Computer Sign Global Distribution Agreement



    ShockWatch, a leader in developing and manufacturing damage
    prevention products, announces its new global distribution agreement
    with Glacier(R) Computer, an Amherst, N.H.-based developer of rugged
    industrial computer systems. The companies will leverage ShockWatch's
    international distribution network to offer Glacier's Everest(TM)
    computer product line outside of the U.S.

    Everest rugged mobile computers are specially engineered for use
    in the warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, construction and oil
    drilling industries, where ShockWatch already serves as a market
    leader. Everest computers mount easily onto forklifts, fleet vehicles
    or fixed locations to make everyday computing tasks easier, more
    efficient and more accurate -- even in the harshest environments.
    Available with either a 10- or 12-inch display, the compact touch
    screen design tolerates extreme temperatures, humidity, dust and
    vibration. Numerous configuration options enable powerful, flexible
    computing that supports software applications used for inventory
    management, data collection and other operations.

    "ShockWatch already manufactures and distributes a broad line of
    Equipment Monitors that our customers use to capture operational data
    on their forklifts," said Jeff Kilpatrick, Vice President of Marketing
    at ShockWatch. "The mobile computing capabilities and rugged design of
    the Everest line make it a logical addition to our offerings for use
    in the same environments. Both the ShockWatch line and Glacier's
    Everest line are engineered for direct operator use and provide
    managers with the information they need to make smarter decisions as
    they supervise operations everyday."

    "We are excited about the opportunity to partner with ShockWatch
    in this global expansion project," said Ron D'Ambrosio, President of
    Glacier. "The ShockWatch international distribution network will allow
    us to bring the power and value of the product to a new audience."
