Press Release Summary = Ceriotec Corporation has announced that it will invest
another US$1 million in new CNC Swiss screw machines in 2006 to increase its Swiss
screw machining capacity and productivity.

Press Release Body = Suwa, Nagano, Japan - To expand its production capacity and
machining productivity, Ceriotec Corporation has announced that it will invest
another US$1 million in new CNC swiss screw machines in 2006. The company has
invested a total of US$5 million in CNC Swiss screw machines over the 5 previous
years.

\"We have gradually replaced our cam operated Swiss type screw machines with the
latest CNC Swiss style screw machines. Besides allowing us to eliminate the need for
cams and their added costs, these latest CNC Swiss screw machines make us more
competitive as they increase efficiency by about 30% and allow us to respond rapidly
to short production runs and rush order jobs,\" says Hiroaki Oguchi, President of
Ceriotec Corporation.

Established in 1951, Ceriotec Corporation has been using swiss screw machines or
swiss automatics to supply Japanese watch-making, IT electronics, consumer
electronics, telecommunications and automotive industries with miniature complex
profile turned parts from diameter 0.1mm for over 50 years.

Swiss screw machining is used to make small, slender, complex and precision
components. In the swiss screw machine, the bar stock material is gripped tightly
and advanced by the sliding headstock through a guide bushing to the machining
section. The machining section consists of stationary tools which are applied to the
emerging bar stock. As only the part of the bar to be machined is exposed from the
guide bushing, there is minimum deflection which allows the turning of small
accurate precision parts. If the part is longer and needs more grip support at the
front end, a sub spindle can be applied to grip it to reduce deflection during
cutting. Accurate and close toleranced parts are possible with tight toleranced
guide bushings and finely ground bar stocks.

Says Mr Oguchi, \"Originally designed by the Swiss to make miniature watch parts,
Swiss style screw machines have become the machining solutions for many turned parts
manufactured from difficult to machine alloys and exotic metals. Swiss screw
machines excel in manufacturing a complex profile part in one turning operation,
thus eliminating secondary processes and costs. We look forward to business
enquiries through Suwa Precision Engineering, our marketing office in Singapore.\"
