FARO Launches New, More Customer-Focused Website

September 06, 2006

    LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc., the world's single source for a
complete line of portable CAM2 solutions, has launched its
new Web site that enables visitors to easily access
information most relevant to their industry, application or
product preference.

    "We re-created the entire site from the ground up
based on our customer's input," FARO President and
Co-CEO Jay Freeland said. "We sell several different
products to a number of different industries, to companies
of all sizes worldwide, so the goal wasn't just to make the
site look different, but rather to be so intuitive to use
that any potential customer could visit our site and
quickly discover how our technology can address his or her
problem."

    For example, a nuclear reactor quality manager who
wants to reduce inspection time can now visit faro.com and
select "Power Generation" in the Industry
category, or simply go to "Inspection" in the
Applications category. He will see examples - ranging from
videos and case application stories, to technical
specification sheets and white papers - of how FARO's
technology can be used to help improve and streamline the
respective process.

    In addition to enhanced usability, other site
improvements include:

    * Extensive industry listings, including everything
from automotive and aerospace to plant, process, piping and
forensics

    * Faster turnaround on quotes and information requests

    * More frequent information updates

    * More region-relevant content, including new exclusive
sites for Poland and the Netherlands, bringing the total
number of language specific sites to 11

    * Expanded country listing; more than 17 represented

    * Improved readability for Asian languages

    * A special Promotions page for regional sales
incentives

    * Content optimized based on user habits

    "In the same way that FARO offers a total
measurement solution from initial design to final analysis,
faro.com offers the total information solution," said
FARO's Asia-Pacific Marketing Director James Needham, whose
team spearheaded the new website design. "The
educational approach helps our customers match the right
tool for the job."
