Cimatron to Exhibit ShoeExpress Software Package At SIMAC 2002, Bologna, Italy

GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, May 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cimatron Ltd. (NASDAQ:CIMT), a leading developer of CAD/CAM solutions for the tooling industry, will exhibit its ShoeExpress software package dedicated to the footwear manufacturing industry, at SIMAC 2002.

The exhibition, dedicated to the design and manufacture of footwear and leather goods, takes place in Bologna, Italy, May 7-10. SIMAC welcomes close to 500 exhibitors and nearly 25,000 visitors, and is considered one of the most important shows in the footwear manufacturing market.

ShoeExpress will be exhibited at SIMAC at the Microsystem Group's booth. Headquartered in Bologna, Italy, Microsystem is one of Cimatron's leading distributors. The ShoeExpress package consists of Solfast, Tacfast and Fusion applications designed by Microsystem and based on Cimatron's CAD/CAM software. Each application dramatically reduces lead times and maximizes productivity, while advanced functions cut manual operations to a minimum and achieve fully automatic design development. The result is a drastic reduction in the time between the order and delivery of a mold, which translates into significant productivity gains in the shoe sole design and manufacturing process.

Cimatron developed software modules designed specifically for the industry's mold and pattern makers, and Microsystem's customers manufacture a wide range of footwear -- from the classic, tailored shoe, to sport and trek shoes, through to specialized footwear, such as ski boots for popular brands, Tecnica, Dolomite and Alpina D.D., providing them with dedicated software solutions to meet the needs of each individual market. In keeping with longstanding Italian tradition and the country's internationally acclaimed footwear industry, Cimatron's customer list also includes Diadora and Roces. It is Microsystem's unique relationship with its customers that has led to their success in Italy and other European centers. Leading mold and pattern makers using the software include Gruppo Meccaniche Luciani, Gatti & Piccolo, Grimaldi Stampi, Grosso, Mondial Suole, and OMS di Tarabelli, all well respected within local and international manufacturing circles.

"Microsystem attributes its triumph in this niche market to Cimatron's comprehensive solutions for the tooling industry and to its extensive knowledge of the footwear industry," says Enrico Gardini, President of Microsystem. "This is coupled with our technological heritage in the design field and our high-level technical support," he added.

"In keeping with our commitment to deliver quality to our customers, we are excited to exhibit ShoeExpress at this important show," says Nadav Katz, Executive VP Marketing at Cimatron. "Today, we lead the Italian market, and I am confident we will soon expand our activities into other major world centers."
