POWERTECH ANNOUNCES A SECOND OEM AGREEMENT WITH A WORLD LEADER IN THE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY –

This OEM agreement allows PowerTech to gain rapid access to global markets and create worldwide demand for our technology.

Terrebonne (Quebec), February 7, 2008 – Mr. Carol Murray, President and Chief Executive Officer of PowerTech Corporation Inc. “PowerTech” (TSX-V: PWB), is pleased to announce that the Company has signed another major OEM distribution agreement with a world leader in construction equipment design, production and distribution. This new agreement provides PowerTech with access to major markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Considering the high number of excavators in operation in Europe alone, the market for the PicBucket in this region is anticipated to be as great as the market in the United States.

Through this agreement, PowerTech’s unique line of PicBucket and PicHammer products, used primarily for excavation, demolition and compaction applications and will be marketed under a renowned private brand name.

This is the second major OEM agreement for PowerTech. A deal reached one year ago with NPK Construction Equipment (NPK) has allowed PowerTech to quickly establish itself throughout the North American market.

“We are extremely proud to partner with world-class companies. The winning combination of our new partner’s marketing strength and our highly innovative product line opens the door to exciting opportunities in the global market. This new partnership, which further details of will be unveiled in the near future, offers similar commercial potential to the successful model implemented with NPK,” said Mr. Murray.

Yves Sicotte, PowerTech’s Vice-President, Sales and Marketing said, “Our OEM partnerships are part of PowerTech’s overall business development strategy that is based on building mutually beneficial alliances with world leading manufacturers and distributors. Our continuing success in forming these strategic alliances demonstrates the legitimacy of PowerTech’s business model. Joining forces with major industry players allows us to gain rapid access to global markets and create worldwide demand for our technology. We are presently in discussions with other powerhouse companies with the aim of striking similar OEM agreements to extend our international reach and increase sales of our PicBucket and PicHammer products.
