Press information December 17th, 2007 Opus signs a break through contract for the Italian market worth approximately 50 MSEK Opus Prodox AB (publ) has signed a three year distribution contract with Promo Parts Srl, in line with the contract signed between Promo Parts and “Cartesio Team”, for diagnostic equipment distribution to Italian car workshops. This three year contract is estimated to give Opus revenue of approximately 50 MSEK during that period. Promo Parts Srl has been an Opus distributor on the Italian market for the last 18 months and is responsible for import, distribution, service and support of Opus Group products. The diagnostic equipment are PC-based tools for workshops to help diagnose and fault tracing of electronic systems. “Cartesio Team” is an organization made of 14 independent Italian regional retailers who work together within purchasing, marketing and customer support. “Cartesio Team” is the leading distribution channel for equipment to car workshops in Italy. “Cartesio Team” has until now sold products from Italian competitors, e.g. Texa and Brain Bee, but the new agreement will launch Opus products as the “Prime Brand” to approximately 60 000 workshops in Italy. “We have been working on this deal since the exhibition in Bologna, in May this year, and it's very conclusive that we now have managed to get such a good agreement in place. Promo Parts and “Cartesio Team” have tested the products during the summer and the decision to launch Opus as a “Prime Brand” is especially rewarding as many of our toughest competitors are Italian manufacturers”, says Magnus Greko, Managing Director and Marketing Manager of Opus.
