Zoom Technologies Launches Branded Products to India
GlobeNewswire
2011-06-08

                  Start of International Strategy

BEIJING, June 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoom Technologies Inc.,
(Nasdaq:ZOOM), a leading China-based manufacturer of mobile phones and
related products, announces the launch of its mobile phone products
into India under the brand name of "LONGTEL." Started recently on March
1, 2011, Zoom has sold 50,000 units of LONGTEL handsets to the Indian
market as of May 31, 2011 and anticipates shipping up to 300,000 units
by year's end. The units delivered so far include 10 different models
of feature-rich phones with multi-media functionalities.

Zoom's marketing plan includes introducing our own branded products to
different parts of the world, based on our top level R&D capabilities
and also years of manufacturing experience in the mobile phone OEM
sector. As one of the fast growing economies in the world, India has
demonstrated strong growth in its domestic mobile phone market since
2009. Further, due to India's proximity to China, it is natural for
Zoom to select India as the first foreign market to enter in its
international strategy. Zoom works with a distributor with more than
100 after-sales service centers capable of covering all states in
India, providing timely and quality service to its local retailers.

Mr. Lei Gu, Chairman and CEO of Zoom Technologies, stated that, "I am
very excited that Zoom is able to participate in the rapidly advancing
Indian mobile phone market as our first step in going international
with our own products. We are pleased with our ability to produce
phones tailor-made to the needs of the local Indian market, and we
won't stop there. Beginning this year, Zoom plans to devote attention
on breaking into both emerging and developed markets with our own
branded phones, servicing each region's particular needs. We intend to
use the brand name of 'ZOOM' in markets where we have completed or in
the process of registering the Zoom mark, such as China, United States,
European Community Countries, Brazil, etc. For other markets, we plan
to use other local brand names."
