DETROIT--Oct. 3, 2005--Andrew A. Mazzara, Ph.D., president of Henry Ford Community College (HFCC), has been named as board chairman for Laptop Design USA, LLC. The Dearborn-based company was recently launched to brand laptop computers with companies and organizations' proprietary colors, trademarks and logos.

"I'll be retiring from HFCC at the end of this year, and it's the right time to seek out new and exciting opportunities," said Dr. Mazzara. "I'm extremely impressed with the unique service that Laptop Design offers its customers, and the team of resources that they've put together."

Dr. Mazzara will assume the new position as board chairman on January 1, 2006.

Laptop Design has developed a high quality process to apply a durable, automotive-quality finish to the exterior top surface, without touching the computer's internal parts or affecting the manufacturer's warranty . The company's paint specialists can match virtually any color to produce matte, high gloss and metallic finishes. Using a customer's proprietary colors, logos and trademarks, Laptop Design provides custom designed layouts for the greatest visual appeal.

"Having Dr. Mazzara's leadership and administrative talents available to us, will only ensure our success in the huge marketplace of laptop computers," said Peder Blohm, the company's president and founder.
