Press Release Summary = Nagano Sankoh Co., Ltd., has acquired 4 latest Servo
Stamping Presses to achieve greater stamping efficiency for deep drawn components
with high accuracy and complicated profiles.

Press Release Body = Suwa, Nagano, Japan 13/12/2005 - In the face of increasing
global competition in the metal stamping industry, Nagano Sankoh Co., Ltd., has
invested US$1.5 million in 4 latest Servo Stamping Presses to offer greater stamping
efficiency of precision stamped components for the electronics and automotive
industries.

\"As competition in the stamping industry gets more intense with the growth of China
metal stampers,　Japanese metal stampers have to embrace new technologies and
use them to improve the quality of the parts being stamped, the productivity of
their manufacturing equipment, the life of the dies and the flexibility of the
manufacturing cells,\" said Soichi Tamura, President of Nagano Sankoh.

With the servo press, Nagano Sankoh can virtually key in the stroke, velocity and
dwell profile for any job - all on a single press. Three of the servo presses are
AIDA NC1-1100 (D) servo presses which offer AIDA\'s proprietary high torque, low RPM
servo motor with direct drive. These servo presses provide the same maximum stroke
length and torque rating as a conventional mechanical press while allowing full
torque from low speed for greater part accuracy and longer die life. The servo press
does not increase operating costs because its capacitors store energy in the
non-working portion of the stroke, making power consumption comparable to or less
than that of a standard mechanical press.

Says Tamura, \"These servo presses are nearly double the price of same tonnage
mechanical presses, but we can achieve double the efficiency in our stamping
processes, and provide better quality parts not possible with conventional presses.\"
