Press Release Summary = MAINZ, Germany, March 3, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Coattec
Industries, Inc. (Other OTC:CTCK.PK - News) announces that, according to a report by
Dun and Bradstreet recently cited by the National Roofing Contractors Association
(NRCA), the U.S. roofing industry is stable and growing. The demand for employment
in this industry is currently very high, demonstrated by the more than 30,000
roofing contracting firms in the United States and a growing total annual sales
volume of more than $30 billion.

Press Release Body = The report emphasizes that the U.S. roofing market is less
vulnerable to economic downturns in comparison to other construction trades because
approximately 75% of the total roofing market consists of repair and renovation
rather than new construction. The NRCA, established in 1886, is one of the
construction industry\'s oldest trade associations and voice of the professional
roofing contractors worldwide, having more than 4,600 members in all states and 54
other countries.

``The U.S. roofing market environment is very promising for Coattec\'s products, and
we are proud to be in a sector that secures and creates employment. We are taking
every step to rapidly develop and position production of our housewraps and roofing
foils for entry into the U.S. market in order to take advantage of these positive
market conditions this year,\'\' commented Bernd Meinecke, Chief Executive Officer of
Coattec Industries Inc.
