FACET international marketing Partners with Logic Solutions, Inc. to Provide Trade Show Marketing Support Services in China

PLYMOUTH, Mich.--July 22, 2005--Facet international marketing and Logic Solutions, Inc. of Ann Arbor, Michigan have formed a strategic alliance to provide marketing and trade show support services in China. Facet is an established supplier of marketing and trade show services both in North America and Europe. Services include strategic planning, advertising, public relations, communications, trade show and event management. Logic Solutions, a developer of application software, web sites and custom software, supports its customers with comprehensive, web-centric tools and internet based applications.

The two Michigan companies have teamed up to provide trade show marketing services to companies planning to attend shows and events in China. In particular, Facet is making plans to support the new Automotive Testing Expo China which will take place at the Shanghai Everbright Convention Center in September 2006. This new show replicates the established Automotive Testing Expo shows which take place in Novi, Michigan and Stuttgart Germany.

"We are finding that even in trade show marketing, more and more of our automotive customers are looking for a global supplier, explains Christine Ellis, CEO of Facet. "We need to be where our customers are, whether it is in Novi, Stuttgart or Shanghai. This partnership is especially interesting to us, as collaborating with Logic Solutions we are able to benefit from Logic's experience of working in an emerging and complex market such as China."

Jimmy Hsiaso, CEO of Logic Solutions commented "We entered the Chinese market four years ago as an independent foreign owned company. This was a good strategy and now, four years later, we have established a growing customer base with offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Nanjing. Our customers include the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation - one of China's largest vehicle manufacturers. We are pleased to partner with Facet to expand our digital marketing and web based technologies and help provide an experienced and reliable support network for Facet's clients attending events such as the Automotive Testing Expo China show."
