Hyundai Selects FASTech's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Solution

    LINCOLN, Mass., June 30 -- FASTech Integration, Inc. today
announced that Hyundai LCD has selected FASTech's FACTORYworks(R)
Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for their L2 and L3 fabs in Ichon, Korea.
Hyundai, rapidly becoming a worldwide leader in the semiconductor industry,
chose the FACTORYworks solution over two of FASTech's chief competitors in the
Korean market.
    "This is truly a major win for FASTech as Hyundai is investing
considerable capital to become one of the leading players in the worldwide LCD
market," said Jim Pelusi, FASTech President and CEO.  "This project will be
exciting and challenging because the scope involves full automation of a
state-of-the-art LCD fab (L3) that is still under construction.  FASTech has
made a big step forward and is quickly becoming the industry-standard MES and
Automation solution for LCD manufacturing.  I believe that this win will help
us to dominate the LCD market, not only in Korea but the rest of the world."
