Press Release Summary = Carbon fiber design and manufacturing facilities expand
capacity

Press Release Body = Quatro Composites, a leading designer and manufacturer of
carbon fiber technologies, is breaking ground for a major expansion of its Northwest
Iowa production facilities. The plant expansion, which will increase machining,
cutting, and finishing facilities by 40 percent, is in response to growing demand
for the company's carbon fiber-based products. The Orange City, Iowa, plant
expansion is expected to by completed in August 2007.

"One of our strengths is in meeting customer demand - not only for superior-quality
design and manufacturing, but for quick and reliable turnaround times," explains
Steve Roesner, Chief Operating Officer of Quatro, "Adding capacity will allow us to
continue and build onto our reputation for rapid, responsive engineering and
production solutions."

An important addition to Quatro's manufacturing capabilities will be a new water-jet
cutter which enables all cutting and finishing in a single process, creating a
clean, smooth finish on carbon fiber products. The expansion will also house
expanded machining, pad printing, screen printing, warehouse and distribution areas.

In addition to expanding manufacturing capacity in Iowa, Quatro is moving its Poway,
California-based offices to a larger facility in May to accommodate staff and R&D
growth. Quatro recently introduced a new proprietary methodology designed to
optimize the structural performance (weight, strength, stiffness, cost) of carbon
fiber components that is being employed in the New Quatro Technical Development
Center in Poway, CA.

Quatro Composites, a division of Tec Industries L.L.C, is an Iowa-based advanced
composite manufacturer specializing in carbon fiber applications. Quatro
manufactures and engineers products for the aerospace, medical, military & defense,
sports and recreation, automotive and wind energy markets. The business operates in
two locations, Orange City, Iowa, (Headquarters, Manufacturing & Distribution) and
Poway, California (Manufacturing & Technical Development Center).
