EXHIBIT 99.1

REFRACTORY AND INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY GROUP, INC., (RISG) A SUBSIDIARY OF DIVERSIFIED
THERMAL SOLUTIONS, ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF FREEPORT BRICK COMPANY,
KITTANNING BRICK COMPANY AND FREE MADIE COMPANY

MEMPHIS, TN - February 10, 2005 -- Diversified Thermal Solutions announced today
completion of the acquisition effective January 31, 2005, of two refractory
brick manufacturing facilities and a state of the art machine and die operation
located in Pennsylvania. The purchase price was undisclosed and secured through
traditional bank financing. Each of the three separate facilities are located a
short distance from Pittsburgh, in the towns of Freeport and Kittanning.

John Curry of Diversified Thermal Solutions had this to say, "We are excited to
complete this strategically important acquisition, which furthers our goal of
becoming a service driven provider of quality refractory brick. The refractory
manufacturing facilities will provide RISG with a complete line of clay and high
alumina brick used in the aluminum, cement and lime, iron and steel and all
other pyro-processing industries. Consisting of over 250,000 square feet, the
combination of Freeport and Kittanning Brick Companies will give us one of the
largest production capacities in North America. We will initially focus on
improving plant efficiencies, quality, and brand awareness as we work to secure
private labeling opportunities and expand our distribution network."

Free MaDie Company (FMC) is a modern, full service machine and die shop that
designs, engineers, manufactures and repairs the dies required for the pressing
of refractory shapes. FMC shop capabilities include machining, fabricating,
precision grinding, Blanchard grinding, precision engraving, small hole
drilling, and heat treating. In addition to producing all mold and die
requirements for Freeport and Kittanning Companies, FMC produces and markets a
line of ultrasonic testing blocks used to calibrate processes by a number of
industries, including electronics and communications. FMC has begun offering
subcontract machining services to the growing optoelectronics industry in the
immediate area of the facility.

Curry further states, "In our opinion, the combination of Freeport, Kittanning,
and Free MaDie Companies along with our previous acquisition of RIS Precast
creates a full service capability to compete with all current suppliers of clay
and high alumina refractory shapes in the U.S. market."
