INDIANAPOLIS, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Made2Manage Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: MTMS - News), a leading provider of comprehensive enterprise business systems for mid-market manufacturers, today announced being named to "Start" magazine's list of the "Hottest Companies of 2002" among manufacturing software vendors.

Published by Specialty Publishing Company, "Start" focuses on manufacturing innovation driven by technology. Of the more than 100 entries, only 19 were recognized as industry leaders by the magazine.

"We are pleased to once again be recognized on "Start" magazine's exclusive 'Hottest Companies' list," said David Wortman, Made2Manage Systems' CEO.

"Made2Manage Systems has certainly found an important niche serving the mid-market manufacturing sector," said Peggy Smedley, "Start" magazine's editorial director. "We believe that Made2Manage will be rewarded by continued growth as these businesses see first hand how the company's strong applications meet their diverse back-office and e-commerce needs."
