Business Wire, June 6, 2005

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- Moldflow Corporation (NASDAQ:MFLO) and Yudo Company, Ltd., have finalized the agreement to expand their relationship in order to allow Yudo to manufacture Moldflow's Altanium(R) hot runner process control products for sale in China. Moldflow, the leading provider of automation and optimization software for the plastics injection molding industry and Yudo, one of the world's largest suppliers of hot runner systems, will work together to meet growing demand for technologically advanced shop floor manufacturing solutions. Altanium is Moldflow's modular, small footprint hot runner process control system that supports up to 384 zones.

Yudo currently distributes Moldflow's Altanium products worldwide on an OEM basis in connection with the sale of their own products. In conjunction with the signing of the manufacturing agreement, Yudo placed an initial order for component parts totaling more than $600,000, of which a significant amount will ship this quarter. This order will provide Yudo with a variety of Altanium platforms from which to begin the start-up phase of the manufacturing program.

"This strategic partnership with Moldflow gives Yudo the ability to provide a world-class process control solution for our global hot runner system customers," said Francis Yu, president of Yudo Company, Ltd. "We are pleased to be working closely with a technology leader like Moldflow where our expertise in hot runner solutions can be leveraged with Moldflow's reputation for providing feature rich cutting edge technology."

"This agreement represents another step in Moldflow's strategy to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding market in Asia for our hot runner control products," explained Tim Triplett, Moldflow's executive vice president and general manager of Manufacturing Solutions. "By outsourcing local manufacturing operations we are able to capitalize on Yudo's proven expertise in manufacturing and selling products of this type in the local market. We look forward to continuing an already productive relationship with Mr. Yu and the employees of Yudo."

    How to Win at Office Politics
