International Automotive Supplier Selects OnCourse Technologies' Manufacturing Solutions

NEW BERLIN, Wis., June 25 -- A $1.2 million (Canadian) contract is the second major automotive supplier contract this year for OnCourse Technologies Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: OCTH) . The contract includes two integrated software products from OnCourse Technologies.

Anchor Lamina Inc., Windsor Ontario, will obtain 38 seats of Machine Shop Estimating, seven seats of CAMWorks, training, and hardware. It will use the CAD/CAM/CAE solutions to entirely revamp and streamline its engineering product flow, costing methodologies, and to optimize and shorten manufacturing cycles. As part of the overall project, Anchor Lamina will install 40 seats of SolidWorks, facilitating automated costing and CNC programming with the OnCourse products running within the SolidWorks platform.

OnCourse Technologies recently also added Metaldyne Corporation's Driveline & Transmission Group as a significant user of its technology. The two contracts are among the largest in the company's 20 year history.

CEO Bernard Woods says: "We've noted a trend with large manufacturing industries gravitating toward our technology. In the past, money spent on IT did not always provide a significant return on investment. With our manufacturing solutions integrated within the SolidWorks 3D platform, manufacturers receive instant and quantifiable results, improving accuracy in component costing and shorting the manufacturing cycle, while reducing overall engineering costs. Our software is where the rubber hits the road for manufacturers."

Anchor Lamina Inc., a diversified international manufacturer, serves a range of industrial markets with die sets, fabrications, and other industrial supplies.

More than 28,000 manufacturers worldwide use advanced OnCourse software to heighten efficiency in technical estimating, computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), integrated e-commerce systems, and tooling management.
