CalComp Signs Agreement to Sell Input Division to GTCO
ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 1999--CalComp Technology

agreement in which GTCO will acquire CalComp's Input Technologies Division (ITD).
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The transaction is expected

ITD, with headquarters in Scottsdale, Ariz., manufactures an extensive

In addition, through leveraging its expertise in digitizer technology,
the division supplies components to major manufacturers of pen-based computers.
GTCO, a privately held company, is a world leader in the design and
manufacture of large-surface x, y input peripherals used in construction cost estimating,
geographic information systems, computer-aided design applications, garment design applications,
medical diagnostic systems and electronic whiteboards.
``ITD is a perfect match for GTCO, a company that has been providing
high-quality input systems for nearly 30 years,'' said Stephen Kaye, president of GTCO.
``We are excited about the potential benefits this combination will have for our customers
and employees and look forward to continuing to build on the solid reputations that both
companies have established.''
John Batterton, president and chief executive officer of CalComp, said:
``We are pleased that GTCO has agreed to purchase ITD, a business that has been dedicated
to producing and selling leading edge input devices to customers worldwide. We are confident
that ITD's product line will serve to enhance GTCO's already excellent reputation in the
input peripherals marketplace.''
