LAS VEGAS, Jul 16, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Nutek, Inc. (NUTK) subsidiary Datascension, a leading data processing and market research firm, announced today that it is expanding its operations in Costa Rica by adding an additional 100 seats to its call center.

The company is currently evaluating other international locations and expects to announce the expansion to an additional international location within 45 days.

"This new international facility is expected to open in October 2003 with 100 seats and a capacity for up to 250 seats," said Murray Conradie, Nutek CEO. "Our decision to expand is based on the continued growth of the Company, which completed its sixth successive profitable quarter in Q2, 2003."

"Our superior service and state-of-the-art technology have attracted major new clients and additional business from existing clients so we are quickly nearing our current facility capacity," said Scott Kincer, COO of Nutek and president of Datascension. "In addition to accommodating the growth from our inbound call center and data collection services, the new and expanded facilities will allow us to develop our database management and reporting services, which provide greater margins."

The Costa Rica expansion and the new international facility will be executed in several stages to provide additional capacity as Datascension needs it. Based on current growth rates, Datascension is on track to have approximately 1,000 seats in its call centers by 2005.
