Speaking on the company's participation, Mr. Ramzi Nassif, Managing Director -
Leviton Middle East said, "GITEX offers a great venue for Leviton to show our
products and capabilities to many IT, telecom, and electronics customers and
decision makers from various segments of the market that attend the event. Because
GITEX focuses on our target industry and brings so many of the key players and users
in one place, it represents an ideal opportunity for interaction between all the
interested parties. We hope to expand and lead our business to success by sharing
our technology and knowledge with event attendees. We look to expose our name and
capabilities and exchange information with end users, IT consultants, structured
cabling specifiers and installers. Through these discussions we would all gain a
greater understanding of how Leviton can help current and future customers grow
structured cabling business in the Middle East based on a customized approach to the
region's specific needs. As the premier ICT networking event in the region we
anticipate that GITEX will be a key part of our marketing activities for the
foreseeable future"

Leviton in recent years has been experiencing tremendous growth outside of North
America where it's legacy began over 100 years ago. It is now investing resources in
the Middle East region which it realizes is the most exciting and fastest growing
market in the world because of the ongoing construction boom and oil wealth. Mr
Bruno Filio, Vice President-International Business Development said "Today, the
Middle East market is an important and growing market that has demonstrated high
demand for Leviton's Network Solutions products. From this key market area, Leviton
products can be positioned to reach many new customers in the area that have heard
of Leviton's history and technologies but have never installed them due to lack of
local availability. Many of Leviton's US based companies are starting business in
the Middle East and asking for Leviton product presence in the area so they may
utilize the same high quality products they have worked with before and installed in
their North American based facilities".

strongest and most influential patent portfolios for Industrial Components and
Fixtures, offers complete network infrastructure and residential solutions to
