Mitchell NACE 2003 Presence Emphasizes Commitment to Collision Industry

SAN DIEGO--Nov. 2, 20034, 2003--Despite an economic climate and difficult industry year that has seen several companies eliminate their participation at this year's International Autobody Congress and Exposition (NACE) in December, Mitchell International, a leading provider of information and workflow solutions to the automotive insurance claims industry, today announced its plans to continue its strong participation in the collision repair industry's most important trade show.

Tony Aquila, President and COO of Mitchell International, said, "The economy has not been strong in recent years, and this has prompted a number of industry participants, particularly the paint companies, to reduce or eliminate their presence at NACE. This year, while Mitchell will have a less prominent booth on the show floor, we will be there in full force."

Mitchell will have locations showcasing Mitchell's innovative information and workflow automation solutions, including Mitchell's Collision/AutocheX (Booth 3433), and a Mitchell booth as part of the Claims Process Pavilion (CP147a/246b), as well as sponsoring The AutocheX CSI Premier Achiever Award.

In addition, Mitchell will also participate in three seminars at NACE:

-- UltraMate: Tips and Techniques - Thursday, December 4, 2003 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm David Lewis, Customer Educations Manager

-- Shop Financials: Where Do We Start? Thursday, December 4, 2003, 1:30 pm - 4:30 p.m. - Dennis Kiyohara, V.P., Founder of AutocheX and Joe Sanders, JL Sanders Inc.

-- Automated Claims Processing Town Hall panel discussion, December 5, 2003, 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 pm. Ed Schrenk, Vice President of Industry Relations, and Dennis Kiyohara, Vice President and Founder of AutocheX, participating from Mitchell

Aquila added, "I want to reaffirm Mitchell's continued full support for NACE and the collision repair industry. We have long been a part of NACE, and we continue to be a major sponsor for many industry associations."
