MakerBot

Stratasys AP Ltd., a subsidiary of Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq:SSYS), a global

leader for 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions, today announced

that Omer Krieger, Vice President Sales of Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ), has

been promoted to General Manager of Stratasys Asia Pacific and Japan. Mr.

Krieger's appointment follows the promotion of Jonathan Jaglom, who previously

served in this role, to Chief Executive Officer of MakerBot, a subsidiary of

Stratasys, which was announced separately today.

Over the past two years, Mr. Krieger has served as Vice President of Sales,

APJ, resulting in deep knowledge of the region and strong customer and partner

relationships. Previously, Mr. Krieger served as Product Manager at Stratasys

(Objet), managing new product introduction, go-to-market strategies and sales

operations. When Objet merged with Stratasys in 2012, Mr. Krieger was appointed

Sales Director of APJ.  In his new role, Mr. Krieger will report to David Reis,

Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys, in his capacity as Chief Business

Officer.

"Omer's significant experience, both in the APJ region and in the 3D printing

industry in general, makes him the ideal candidate to lead our business in the

rapidly growing APJ market," said David Reis, Chief Executive Officer of

Stratasys. "Omer is in an excellent position to meet the growing demand and

significant potential for expansion of this critical market for Stratasys. We

look forward to continuing to provide our customers with the expertise they

have come to expect and look forward to working with new partners in the

future. "

Jaglom Promoted

As Krieger assumes the General Manager position, outgoing General Manager,

Jonathan Jaglom will transition to a new position as CEO of Stratasys' MakerBot

operation. Over the last two years, Mr. Jaglom played a pivotal role in

expanding Stratasys' business in APJ. "Under Jonathan's leadership, this

business has seen tremendous growth, and Stratasys has secured its leadership

position in the APJ region," says Mr. Reis. "We are very pleased that Jonathan

will be taking a new role at MakerBot, to continue to drive growth and

innovation. He has established a strong foundation for Stratasys APJ's future

growth."

As Mr. Jaglom transitions to become Chief Executive Officer of MakerBot, Jenny

Lawton, who previously held the position, has been promoted to serve as

Executive Vice President of Special Projects for Stratasys, reporting to Mr.

Reis in his capacity as Chief Business Officer.
