by Fleetwood Enterprises

110+ Seat Implementation Improves Engineering Productivity

Atlanta, GA., May 8, 2001-- IronCAD, LLC, the innovation leader in productive solid modeling, today announced a commitment for 40 additional licenses of IronCAD software from Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: FLE), the nation’s largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles and a leading producer and retailer of manufactured housing. The commitment brings Fleetwood’s total IronCAD implementation to over 110 seats and underscores the company’s support for the newly formed IronCAD, LLC.

The new IronCAD seats will be used to help Fleetwood reach their goal of developing 100% of their recreational vehicles using 3D solid modeling technology. “IronCAD has far exceeded our expectations for productivity gains and ease of implementation,“ explains Steve Edman, Manager of Engineering Data at Fleetwood. “So far, we have reduced design cycle time for certain product sections by almost 50%, and eliminated considerable time and expense in prototyping. Now, with the additional seats and the help of IronCAD, LLC, we plan to achieve equally significant results in the remaining portions of the package.”

“Fleetwood puts strong emphasis on both productivity and innovation, and IronCAD has proven to be the right solution for meeting both objectives,“ says Shaun Murphy, VP of Sales and Marketing at IronCAD. “We are committed to providing the best solutions and services to Fleetwood and other companies who are striving to sustain a competitive advantage in product development.”

The spin off of IronCAD, LLC from Alventive, Inc. was officially completed on March 29, 2001. The new company, headquartered in Atlanta, is aggressively pursuing its mission to become the world’s leading provider of innovative design solutions that deliver the highest levels of customer satisfaction and productivity. In its first month, the company has focused on making its solutions even more valuable to productivity- focused companies like Fleetwood, and has put in place a comprehensive and aggressive product release schedule. It has also opened its platform to third -party integrators to encourage development of complementary applications.
