Director of Marketing to Provide Strategic Counsel on U.S.-Turkey Relations

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, November 9, 2010 - Secretary Francisco Sanchez of the International Trade Administration
(ITA) recently appointed Paul Olean, Director of Marketing for DYMO/Mimio
Interactive Teaching Technologies (ITT), to serve on the U.S.-Turkey Business
Council, developed to strengthen ties between the two countries. Olean's
appointment to serve on this advisory council to the Turkish government was
announced earlier this month.

In this position, Olean will work alongside representatives from various
U.S. private sector companies, such as Citigroup and Nike, to encourage
bilateral discussions of business and economic issues that impact both the
United States
and Turkey. The council, composed of senior-level executives
from companies based in the two countries, will convene at least once a year
to provide policy recommendations to both governments on ways to strengthen
those relations.

"Turkey is an important market for DYMO/Mimio ITT as we continue to grow
our presence globally," said Olean. "With its young, growing population and
economy, we see great potential. I'm pleased to serve on this advisory
council, demonstrating our commitment not only to growing our business in
Turkey, but also to improving education throughout the country."

DYMO/Mimio ITT's strong presence in Turkey stems from its longstanding
relationship with its distributor Bekdata. Through Bekdata, educators and
school administrators can purchase DYMO/Mimio ITT products, including the
newly available, award-winning MimioClassroom product suite.

"We are working toward the best possible collaboration with the Turkish
ministry of education to outfit our schools with DYMO/Mimio ITT products,"
said Mert Altinbasak, president, Bekdata. "Sustainable growth is only
possible through a better educated public, which DYMO/Mimio ITT and Bekdata
jointly work to build."

In 2009, trade between Turkey and the United States amounted to nearly
US$11 billion. For the first seven months of 2010, bilateral trade was up
more than 35 percent from the same period last year.

Olean's two-year term with the council will begin with an inaugural
meeting later this year.
