Press Release Summary: HumanCentric has been included in the 5000 fastest growing,
privately held companies in America, as ranked by Inc.com



Press Release Body: CARY, N.C. (September 15, 2008) – HumanCentric
(www.humancentric.com), a full-service integrated product development services
company, announced today its inclusion in the top 5000 fastest-growing privately
held companies in the country. Inc.com ranked HumanCentric among the most consistent
entrepreneurial companies driving the economy.

“Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business
journalism,” said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The Inc. 5000 gives an
unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies doing fascinating things with
cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing
impressive growth.”

HumanCentric focuses on the human side of product development and the end user. The
company has seen 47 percent growth in revenue during the past three years, leading
to the opening of a second office in Chicago in April 2008. HumanCentric’s
experience in the areas of Industrial design, Graphic and Interaction design, Human
Factors, and Design Research provides clients with the capability for meeting
business objectives on all projects. Locally, HumanCentric clients include Geomagic,
John Deere, Parata Systems and Sony Ericsson. Additional notable clients include
Kodak, Dell and Motorola.

“It’s an honor to be recognized among the fastest growing companies in the country,”
said Barry Beith, CEO and CTO of HumanCentric. “This is a testament to employee
commitment to creating compelling and usable products for our clients.”

The Inc. 5000 list is based on the percentage growth in a company’s revenue over a
four-year time period. Companies on the list will be honored at the Inc. 5000 Awards
Ceremony on September 20, 2008 in Washington D.C. The list is the most comprehensive
look at the most important segment of the economy – America’s independent-minded
entrepreneurs. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S.
economy, the magazine said.
