Brno, Czech Republic - February 15th, 2005

Moravia Worldwide, a leading globalization solution provider, announced today a major expansion of its operations in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. Following the opening of the Moravia Japan office in May 2004, this expansion of the Japanese office located in Tokyo includes the immediate appointment of Mr. Terukazu Konishi as Director of Sales for the APAC region. In this position, Mr. Konishi will head the Business Development and Account Management activities of Moravia in APAC, and will coordinate the activities of the Moravia team located across the region.

Since its opening, the Tokyo office of Moravia Worldwide has become instrumental in providing multilingual Project Management services for Moravia's global customers, as well as meeting the requirements of Moravia's regional customers in Japan and across Asia. The Moravia Tokyo office also plays a critical role in the successful management of projects into Asian languages and, importantly, in accommodating the specific requirements of the Japanese market and customers for translation into or from Japanese.

As a recognized industry professional, Terukazu Konishi brings with him more than 13 years of translation and localization industry experience. Having previously worked on both the client and the vendor side, he has always maintained a strong focus on helping Japanese and global companies to successfully release their products on the APAC markets, and has a unique knowledge of the market specifics.

"I have been observing the growth of Moravia globally over the last decade, and was impressed by the company's ability to win the hearts and minds of its customers, as well as its professionalism," commented Mr. Konishi. "It is a privilege for me to be joining a company with such a high reputation and especially at this exciting stage of Moravia's development."

Katerina Forstingerova, CEO of Moravia Worldwide, commented: "We are very pleased with our planned expansion in the APAC region, where we continue to follow our long-term strategy, which recognizes the importance of Japan and the whole region for Moravia and our customers. The developments in our Tokyo office complement our highly competitive QASight testing and engineering laboratories and growing capacities in Nanjing, China which support all European and Asian language locales."

Continued Ms. Forstingerova, "What makes Moravia's strategic steps in APAC unique in the industry is the fact that we choose to pursue a strategy of organic growth, rather than growth through acquisition. This means Moravia can effectively leverage our proven corporate processes and combine them with our growing APAC expertise and presence to offer a unique blend and level of services."

"Our efforts in Japan have been greatly helped by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), who have assisted us from the start and facilitated the whole process of opening our office a year ago," said Arturo Quintero, Chief Corporate Strategist of Moravia Worldwide. "The JETRO support also included providing us with business premises at JETRO's Invest Japan Business Support Center facilities. This has greatly accelerated our start in Japan, and it is thanks to JETRO that Moravia could achieve so much during our first year in Japan. We are very grateful to the friendly, helpful and highly professional JETRO staff."
