Kryptonite Selects TechMarcom, Inc. As PR Agency
To Launch Notebook Computer Security Lineup


Westford, Massachusetts, September 20, 1999 -- TechMarcom, Inc. today announced that is has been retained by Kryptonite Corporation of Canton, Massachusetts, for the upcoming launch of a full line of anti-theft devices for notebook computers. Contracted services include media and analyst relations, strategic planning and trade show support.

Kryptonite is a leading provider of security protection products and has been the authority on bicycle and motorcycle security since 1971. The company has used its experience to develop the first complete product line of locks for notebook computers, including the computer industry's first 8mm braided steel cable.

"Kryptonite is bringing a much needed high-quality, low-tech product to a tech consumer marketplace. Notebook computer locks play to their strengths, while promoting such consumer-friendly technology is TechMarcom's strong suit," said TechMarcom president Jon Boroshok. "With the recent drop in chip prices, notebook computers are likely to become the primary PC for the majority of users in the coming years. We'll be targeting all consumers, especially travelling businesspeople and students."

"Notebooks are disappearing at work, in dorms, in hotel rooms, and at airports. The time is right for Kryptonite's entry into the notebook security market," said Kryptonite computer security channel manager Courtney Celi. "TechMarcom specializes in bringing new companies and products such as our notebook computer locks to the tech marketplace"

"We look forward to working with Kryptonite," said Boroshok. "They've taken the strength and technology of the toughest lock on the street and built that into the most protective notebook locks available today."
