                      RVM INDUSTRIES SELLS RAVENS TRAILERS

     AKRON, Ohio (Nov. 17, 2001) - RVM Industries Inc. Chairman Jacob "Jerry"
Pollock announced today the sale of the company's largest wholly-owned
subsidiary, Ravens Inc., to Fontaine Trailer Company of Haleyville, Ala.

     Ravens is a leading manufacturer of all-aluminum platform and dump trailers
and steel dump trailers. It has manufacturing operations in Kent, Jacksonville,
N.C and Knox, Ind., and a sales and service branch in Dover. The sale includes
all Ravens assets and facilities. The final sale price will be based on an
accounting of assets as of the end of business Nov. 15, which will take about 30
days to complete, said Pollock.

     "The current difficulties being experienced throughout the trailer industry
and the uncertainty of the timing of a turnaround were the driving factors in
our decision to sell Ravens," he said. "We are fortunate to have found a buyer
who will preserve the Ravens nameplate and carry on the tradition and quality
associated with it."

     Pollock acquired majority control of Ravens in 1991. He moved the company
from Ravenswood, W.Va. to Akron and, in 1996, built a new state-of-the-art
manufacturing facility in Kent. In 1999, he purchased the dump and transfer
trailer operations of Galbreath Incorporated, adding steel trailers to Ravens'
aluminum trailer line. Under his stewardship, Ravens sales rose from $14 million
to more than $60 million.

     RVM Industries Inc. (OTCBB: RVMI) is a holding company. With the sale of
Ravens, its sole remaining subsidiary is Signs and Blanks Inc., a manufacturer
of aluminum control and safety signs.
