Toshiba International Corporation Selects PARTsolutions to Launch First Online 3D Parts Catalog

MILFORD, OH, Aug 04 (MARKET WIRE) --
PARTsolutions, LLC, a global provider of 3D part catalogs for
manufacturers and enterprises, today announced that Toshiba International
Corporation, a world leader in the design and manufacture of motors,
adjustable speed drives, motor controls and other power electronics
products, has launched an online parts catalog for its low voltage motor
product line. The digital library of 2D and 3D CAD Toshiba-engineered
products streamlines the discovery, download and purchase processes for
Toshiba customers.

By initially web-enabling its general purpose low voltage motor product
line including its EQPIII Premium Efficiency Series, Explosion Proof and
EPACT Efficiency Series products, Toshiba is enabling its customers to
quickly configure and download high quality product data in CAD-native
format. By implementing PARTcatalog(TM) from PARTsolutions, Toshiba is
saving valuable resources by eliminating the time-intensive process of
creating, migrating and translating catalog content. PARTcatalog also
increases Toshiba's ability to proactively deliver sales and support
information to its customers.

"Supplying catalogs in paper format was no longer meeting the needs of our
customers," said Jay Bugbee, Manager, Motor Business Unit of Toshiba.
"Providing the CAD-native format our customers need not only saves them
time and resources by simplifying a complicated process, it also keeps us
at the forefront of technology in all aspects of our product and its
delivery."

PARTsolutions will provide Toshiba products digitally in various online
marketplaces, including the Autodesk(R) Manufacturing Supplier Content
Center, Machine Design(R) Magazine CAD Library and various CAD Communities
to increase awareness and sales of its products. To further broaden
visibility of Toshiba products to new prospects worldwide, PARTsolutions
will also make them available through its PARTenterprise(TM) solution,
which serves major enterprise customers like Boeing, Airbus, Volkswagen,
Audi and hundreds of others.

"In today's competitive business environment, more and more manufacturers
are leveraging PARTsolutions' innovative technologies for 3D parts
catalogs to increase sales," said Rob Zesch, President of PARTsolutions.
"By leveraging PARTsolutions, Toshiba Motors is also taking customer
service one step further by reducing the amount of CAD support needed and
by automating their catalog."

The Toshiba Motors online catalog is live now and will continue to grow
in size and scope throughout the next several months. For more
