Southampton, PA, November 6, 2009 – Environmental Tectonics Corporation’s (OTC Bulletin Board: ETCC) (“ETC” or the “Company”) Sterilization Systems Group (SSG), a division of ETC’s Control Systems Group (CSG), today announced the award of two new contracts for large, industrial sized sterilization systems from previous customers. The combined contract values exceed $700,000.

Dave Mitchell, Vice President of CSG, stated, “Although current economic conditions have been difficult for capital purchases, ETC continues to book repeat orders from our key account list. These customers, who include large private companies, universities and U.S. government research facilities, recognize ETC’s almost fanatical focus on customer satisfaction and our ability to solve even their most difficult technical and configuration challenges. When ETC encounters a sterilization problem, its solution is the only option we consider. Solving problems is easy; solving problems in a simple, elegant and cost effective manner is what separates ETC from other suppliers.”
