Fujitsu Promotes Lorne Wilson to Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing

Enterprise and Mobile Hard Disk Drive Leader Grows Channel Program by More Than 80%


San Jose, CA, May 11, 2005 — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., one of the world’s leading suppliers of hard disk drives and computer peripherals, today announced that Lorne Wilson has been promoted to senior vice president, sales and marketing following an 80% increase in revenue for fiscal year 2004 ending March 31, 2005.

Under Lorne Wilson’s guidance, Fujitsu has leveraged its channel program to build strong partner relationships that have positioned Fujitsu as the stand alone number two provider of enterprise and mobile hard disk drives. Mr. Wilson works closely with other Fujitsu executives to ensure that channel partners receive new products at the same time as other production manufacturers so that innovative products are offered to potential customers from all available distribution vehicles. Fujitsu was the first hard drive manufacturer to deliver 2.5" serial ATA (SATA) and small form factor (SFF) serial attached SCSI (SAS) drives to the market, allowing channel partners to build exciting new enterprise, mobile and consumer electronics products.

"Lorne Wilson restructured Fujitsu’s channel business four years ago and has consistently delivered increased revenue for both Fujitsu and the channel partners during this time," said Yoshi Masuda, President and CEO of FCPA.

Earlier this year, Mr. Wilson was recognized as a Channel Chief by CMP Media's CRN. In addition, his program leadership has helped Fujitsu secure a Five-Star rating from VARBusiness Magazine as one of North America's top information-technology (IT) vendors in terms of the breadth and depth of its channel-partner program, and Mr. Wilson as one of the Top 75 Channel Executives for 2005 and as an instrumental driving force in the company's exemplary program.
