                    Intermec Considering Closure of Goteborg
       and Lund Design Centers to Improve Efficiencies and Cost Structure


    EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2006--As part of its
commitment to continual improvement of its global business operations,
Intermec, Inc. (NYSE:IN) announced today that it is assessing possible
closure of its design centers in Goteborg and Lund, Sweden.
    Upon closure of the design centers, the activities assigned to
Goteborg and Lund would be reassigned to other parts of the
corporation or moved to third-party vendors in an effort to improve
efficiencies and benefit from reduced cost. The current employee base
is approximately 80 people. Consultations are underway with the union
in Goteborg.
    Intermec has nearly a 40-year history of innovation in ADC printer
development; this streamlining of operations would allow the company
to leverage its desktop and mobile printing engineering expertise to
continue Intermec's innovation leadership. In addition to the
anticipated cost savings, this realignment of resources would result
in a significant increase in new product development capacity,
allowing Intermec to further improve its competitive positioning in
the marketplace.
    Along with the significant improvement in efficiency associated
with this operational structure, Intermec estimates that the facility
closures would generate annual pre-tax cost savings of approximately
$7 million to $8 million in fiscal 2007 and thereafter. The facility
closures are expected to result in restructuring charges to Intermec's
2006 earnings up to approximately $6 million.
    Intermec, a global ADC technology company, employs approximately
2,500 worldwide and has operations in 70 countries.
