Statement re Genesis Appointment for KML Building

Genesis Worldwide Inc. appoints new president for KML Building Solutions

    MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 29 /CNW/ - Genesis Worldwide Inc. ("Genesis" or the
"Company"), (TSX/AIM: GWI), a leading provider of 'green' structural building
technology using light steel, is pleased to announce that Jack Scivoletto has
been appointed President of KML Engineered Homes Ltd. (doing business as KML
Building Solutions) ("KML"), a subsidiary of Genesis Worldwide Inc.
    Mr. Scivoletto brings to KML vast experience in the construction
industry. He began his business career in 1984 with a family-owned framing and
construction business. He has worked with many successful builders helping to
create new communities for thousands of families. Over the course of the last
23 years, Mr. Scivoletto has developed an outstanding reputation as one of the
top framing contractors in Ontario, Canada. He has managed his own business
which has involved land acquisition, land development, financing, and final
build out.
    According to Mr. Scivoletto, the light steel structural framing industry
is setting the new standard in quality. "I believe Genesis' light steel
structural framing system is the future of building in a construction industry
that has a shortage of skilled tradesmen that build with the old traditional
methods," Mr. Scivoletto said.
    "I am also excited about the opportunity the Company has to take a
continued leadership role in environmental responsibility. Joining KML allows
me to be a part of a truly 'green' future with a product that is
environmentally sustainable," he added.
    Mr. Scivoletto will report directly to Vince Mifsud, President and CEO of
Genesis. Mr. Mifsud sees the appointment of Mr. Scivoletto, with his diverse
background in construction, as the perfect blending of traditional building
expertise with the new building techniques offered by Genesis and KML in the
21st century.
    "I am very pleased that Mr. Scivoletto has joined our team. I believe he
will help us grow and expand our Company's products division which is an
important aspect of our overall growth strategy. Mr. Scivoletto is much
respected and has significant contacts with builders in the Greater Toronto
Area market, which should help us increase our access to these builders," said
Mr. Mifsud.
