Press Release Summary: Broward County Convention Center September 23-24 Welcomes
AmCon Contract Manufacturing Expo

Press Release Body: Engineers and buyers attending an AmCon Contract Manufacturing
Expo can find one or multiple sources to take a project from concept or prototype to
finished product quickly and at competitive prices. OEMs can find sources for
engineering, design, prototypes, forming, fabricating, machining, finishing,
assembly and electronic manufacturing services all under one roof. Whether looking
for one part or production runs, attendees find multiple sources from which to
choose.

The benefits of attending a regional AmCon show are significant. The South Florida
event will be held at Broward County Convention Center - Hall D, on September 23 -
24, 2008. According to Kati Olson, President, "After a highly successful show in
2007, AmCon is returning to Fort Lauderdale to help contract manufacturers and job
shops tap into the thriving high-tech manufacturing market in South Florida."

Besides aerospace and telecommunications OEMs, Florida is also home to a growing
number of medical manufacturing companies. In addition to major medical companies
such as Cordis, Beckman Coulter and Bausch & Lomb, the 2007 show attracted an
impressive number of small to medium size emerging medical OEMs from throughout
Southern Florida.

Attendees found the centrally located Broward County Convention Center easily
accessible. And, while the majority came from Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach
counties, a significant number of attendees traveled from the central part of the
state.

Below is a sampling of major manufacturers that have sent engineers and buyers to
the show: ABB, Air Turbine Technologies, Airline Support Group, American Bidet,
Anspach, Armstrong Power Syst., B/E Aerospace, Bausch & Lomb, Beckman Coulter,
Cordis, Biomet Microfixation, Crossmatch Technologies, DME Corp., Danfoss Turbocor,
Dayton Granger, Elliot Microturbines, GE Healthcare, GE Security. Gables

AmCon offers attendees a unique opportunity to investigate a variety of
manufacturing options, both new and traditional, and find the best processes and
materials for specific applications. Attendees view actual samples of products that
have been produced for other OEMs in their industry and can get quotes on current
projects and compare quality, pricing, and lead times from multiple vendors all in a
few hours. Only AmCon shows provide a "hands on" one-on-one education. Since the
exhibits are staffed with top management and technical personnel, attendees have an
in-depth discussion regarding project design, materials and production issues. AmCon
shows are free, including seminars on a variety of manufacturing processes and
quality issues. Fall 2008 AmCon shows include Fort Lauderdale, FL - Sept. 23-24;
