BRUSSELS, February 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- European momentum toward serialization drives need for Systech's
productized software

Systech International, innovator of Packaging Execution Systems (PES) for
the pharmaceutical industry, announced that over 150 packaging lines are
installed, underway or contracted with its Serialized Product Tracking (SPT)
application. European activity is particularly brisk with over 50
serialization lines installed or under contract.

Driving Systech's growth in Europe is demand for a serialization solution
that will help protect patients, brands and supply chains from counterfeiting
and parallel trade activities. Progressive regulatory expectations such as
coding requirements in France and serialization such as those established in
Turkey also propel demand for solutions.

As the world leader in deploying PES, Systech's productized software has
been attractive to manufacturers interested in addressing today's
pharmaceutical packaging and supply chain needs. Manufacturers can satisfy
current coding requirements, such as French CIP13, while creating a
foundation upon which they can quickly add the functionality needed to meet
serialization regulations in the future -- whatever they may be.

"The expansion of our efforts in Europe has allowed us to be more
flexible, responsive and dynamic in the wake of global serialization
initiatives," said Frederic Menardo, General Manager of Systech Europe. "We
are pleased that we can provide our customers with a proven solution to help
them enhance their packaging operations while protecting patients."

European operations represents Systech's fastest growing part of its
vision, line management and serialization business. In 2008, Systech opened
its new European headquarters located in Brussels, which provides sales,
project management, project engineering and customer support to the company's
growing number of international customers. Systech has over 20 professional
staff in Europe to meet the growing demands of the market.

Systech's suite of configurable software is based on a PES approach which
enables bi-directional communication between packaging and IT environments. A
PES architecture provides the new technology layer that is critical to the
successful execution of emerging worldwide initiatives such as serialization.
Systech's PES protects enterprise data integrity and package throughput.
