Press Release Summary = Johannesburg, South Africa - Goscor Engines launched a 350
Liter IBA Bragagnolo concrete mixer, in Southern Africa this week.

Press Release Body = Goscor Engines division, as part of the ongoing strategy to
provide more than just engines, pumps and generators to the industrial market,
decided to expand their product range and entered into the supply of construction
related equipment using Robin Subaru engines during 2006. The Meiwa 70 kg rammer,
equipped with a Robin EH12D 2.6 KW (3.5 ps) engine was the first product to be
launched in this range of construction equipment.

Following the successful Rammer launch, requests from the industry indicated that
there is a demand for additional construction equipment, which would withstand the
harsh Southern African conditions. After proper investigation, Goscor Engines
teamed up with IBA from Italy and now launched the CE 350 concrete mixer.

Bragagnolo srl (IBA), construction equipment manufacturer based in Italy, has been
in operation for more than fifty years and is a well-known brand in Europe. Its
innovative technologies, quality research from design to production and
competitiveness in the construction arena has made IBA a leader in Italy and Europe.


Southern Africa is known for its harsh dry and dusty conditions, which place a lot
of strain on any type of construction equipment. As a result thorough research was
done in conjunction with IBA in order to determine which engines would be able to
handle these harsh conditions and this resulted into the CE 350 concrete mixer
equipped with a Robin EY20B engine, which increased the quality of the product.

The Robin EY20B engine is an air-cooled 4-cycle single cylinder side valve
horizontal shaft petrol engine making it the ideal engine to be used in conjunction
with the CE350 concrete mixer.

The CE 350 concrete mixer, on the other hand, is designed and manufactured according
to the "European directives for machines", and the most stringent International
testing. Combined with the Robin Subaru EY20B engine, this concrete mixer is not
just sturdy but could withstand rough handling and dry, dusty conditions which we
experience in Southern Africa.

"At Goscor we believe in quality products and service delivery. We therefore
carefully select our suppliers as we understand our customers' needs as far as
quality products and service is concerned. Teaming up with IBA to bring the CE350
concrete mixer to the Southern African market, combining this concrete mixer with a
Robin/Subaru engine just made sense as we are combining quality products with after
sales service which results in the best for our customers." Says Justin Kitson,
Manager at Goscor Engines.

"The concrete mixer has already been tested locally and proved to be able to
withstand our dusty and dry conditions. Not forgetting the DIY market, we will also
be launching the Jolly 140 concrete mixer, which is ideal for maintenance work and
smaller construction sites. The Jolly 140 is steadfast, do not require maintenance
or lubrication, are robust and easier to handle or transport. More about this nifty
concrete mixer later.." says Kitson.

Construction contractors, the media and other interested parties are invited to
visit Goscor power products for more information about the CE 350 concrete mixer.
