MBI 20-20 Technologies GmbH changes name

Osnabrueck, Germany - January 30, 2007 - MBI 20-20 Technologies GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian-based 20-20 Technologies Inc. (TSX: TWT), today announced that it has been renamed 20-20 Technologies GmbH following the company's recently completed integration process. Located in Osnabrueck, Germany, the management team of 20-20 Technologies GmbH, along with its staff located in Vienna, Austria and the 20-20 Benelux staff, will operate as 20-20's Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region.  

"The acquisition of MBI by 20-20 Technologies was very well received by MBI customers. The German based management of 20-20 then recommended, following the successful integration with 20-20 Technologies, that the timing was perfect to change the corporate name of the group. Moreover, in completing the integration of the products from 20-20 and the former MBI, we can now offer an expanded product solutions package to our customers," says Lorenz Weber, Managing Director responsible for Operations, 20 20 Technologies GmbH.  

"The fact that all our existing 20-20 Factory Network customers have renewed their maintenance and support is proof the integration was a success, with our customers as the beneficiaries," says Jörg Witthus, Managing Director, responsible for sales, 20 20 Technologies GmbH. "In fact, Dutch manufacturer Bribus, a pre acquisition MBI customer, is currently implementing a 20-20 end-to-end solution that comprises 20 20 Virtual Planner, 20-20 Design and 20-20 Factory Network," he adds.
     
"20-20 Technologies has made significant progress with the integration of recent acquisitions. Our focus on promoting our unique end-to-end solution and expanded product offering in new geographic markets to both retailers and manufacturers remains on track," says Jean Mignault, founder and CEO of 20-20 Technologies. "With the on-going integration of, for example, both our MBI and Virtual Systems acquisitions, the 20-20’s brand is increasingly recognized and associated with connected technology within the interior design industries," adds Mr. Mignault.

Only a week ago, 20-20 announced the creation of the "20-20 Pattern Systems" sales group, following the closing of its acquisition of the assets of Pattern Systems International, Inc. "All these steps are reinforcing the 20-20 brand in the interior design and woodworking industries worldwide" indicated Jean-François Grou, President and Chief Operating officer.

IMM - International Furniture Fair Highlights:

20-20 Technologies GmbH participated in the IMM exhibition, the world's leading furniture fair, in the Cologne Deutz Exhibition Center, Messeplatz, Germany, held from January 15 to 20, 2007. This participation confirmed the need for 20-20's visionary end-to-end solution for the interior design industries. "We met hundreds of visitors at our booth during IMM and all of them were impressed by the richness of our product portfolio, which can now meet not only the needs of manufacturers but also those of retail customers," says Jörg Witthus.  The 20-20 product portfolio comprises an end-to-end solution that is unique in both its integrated processes and in its solution-driven support dedicated to the furniture industry worldwide.

Steinhoff chooses 20-20 Technologies GmbH:

The Steinhoff Group, one of the top five furniture groups in Europe, and the largest in Africa, agreed during the IMM fair to complete their 20-20 Factory Network roll-out internationally.
