Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation Announces Expansion of Production Capabilities in Poland; Capital Investment Expected to Drive Incremental Revenue Growth

ELMWOOD PARK, N.J., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation (OTC: KRSL.PK) announced today a strategic capital investment project at its Kreisler Polska subsidiary that will expand the Company's manufacturing and production capabilities in Poland, with the goals of enhancing competitiveness and generating long-term revenue growth. The planned expansion, projected to be completed by December 2012, underscores Kreisler's growing presence in Europe and the Company's commitment to provide its customers with additional capacity to meet their growing needs.  

The Kreisler Polska expansion, which will include a new 60,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Niepołomice, Poland, will significantly enhance its tube and manifold assembly capabilities as well as production and machining capacity, complementary to Kreisler Industrial's U.S. capabilities and extensive product offerings.

Kreisler CEO Michael Stern commented, "These actions are designed to enhance our competitive position as well as enable Kreisler to compete for expanded market share leading to revenue growth.  Additionally, by extending and complementing capacity at Kreisler Polska we will be well positioned to meet growing demand internationally."  

Consistent with this approach, Kreisler entered into a 10-year long-term agreement ("LTA") involving two customers.  Under the LTA, over 1,000 part numbers, which are currently produced by these customers, will be produced at Kreisler Polska's new facility.  In connection with the LTA, Kreisler entered into an Equipment Purchase and Sale Agreement with a third customer to purchase certain manufacturing and assembly equipment needed for Kreisler Polska to produce tube and manifold assemblies of multiple sizes and configurations.  

The purchase and transfer of these assets, as well as the full transfer of the manufacturing of these customers' part numbers to Kreisler under the LTA, is expected to be completed by March 2012. Previously, Kreisler has not manufactured any of the components for these two customers in Poland.  

"The capacity expansion and supporting long-term agreements enhances our ability to deliver the next generation of turbine engines and demonstrates our organizations strong commitment to our customers," added Ned Stern, Kreisler's CFO.  "The expansion is a significant business growth opportunity and we appreciate the support and assistance provided by the European Union and the Polish Enterprise Development Agency to make this project a reality.  We look forward to a great partnership with this community for many years to come."

The capital investments reflect expected aggregate expenditures of 42,000,000 PLN (approximately $12,371,000 at June 30, 2010 exchange rate), of which 20,100,000 PLN (approximately $5,920,000 at the exchange rate as of June 30, 2010) of specific qualified capital expenditures is expected to be funded through outright grants from the Polish Enterprise Development Agency.  To date, the Company has invested towards these initiatives approximately 13,400,000 PLN (approximately $3,950,000 at the exchange rate as of June 30, 2010) and has received 1,100,000 PLN in grants (approximately $324,000 at the exchange rate as of June 30, 2010). Additional funding is anticipated from the Company's own financial resources and debt.  The Company presently has no bank debt.  There are no assurances the Company will be able to secure adequate debt funding given the current economic environment and the Company's recent financial performance.
