CHARLOTTE, N.C. (February 22, 2007) — Jacobsen®, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, has launched a new online media center at www.JacobsenMedia.com.

The information center is a simple, one-stop resource for everything that writers, editors and other communicating professionals in the golf and turf industries want to know about Jacobsen and its products.

The online media center will be continuously updated to ensure the availability of past and present news releases, product descriptions, current product specifications and access to a variety of photographs for products in the Jacobsen line. Jacobsenmedia.com features RSS capability, delivering news to editors the minute it breaks.

"Jacobsenmedia.com uses the latest technology to ensure that the most helpful and current information is available to those who need it, when they need it," said Karla Cuculi, Jacobsen director of marketing communications. "Success begins with two-way communication and we want to give all of our media contacts easy access to the latest news and information from Jacobsen."

Launched in February 2007, the Web site will have restricted-access. Everyone currently on Jacobsen's media list will receive a personalized invitation to join the site through an email message. Registrants will have the opportunity to establish a personalized password to easily remember upon their first visit.

Any media interested in registering for the site who are not currently receiving electronic news releases from Jacobsen, should contact Angela Jamison  (angela@communicopiapr.com) to sign up.
