                        Open Plan Systems, Inc. Announces
                   Plant Closing and Restructuring Initiatives

         RICHMOND,  VIRGINIA (June 20, 2001) - Open Plan Systems, Inc. announced
today that it has begun  implementation of a restructuring  plan that will close
its   remanufacturing   facility   in   Lansing,    Michigan   and   consolidate
remanufacturing operations in Richmond,  Virginia; close five unprofitable sales
offices  located in  Cincinnati,  Indianapolis,  Nashville,  Lansing and Boston;
reduce the size of sales offices in Philadelphia,  Atlanta and Washington, D.C.;
and  restructure  back  office  operations  at  the  Company's  headquarters  in
Richmond,  Virginia.  Approximately  65 employees are expected to be affected by
the  restructuring  initiatives.  The  restructuring  initiatives  are effective
immediately and are expected to be fully implemented over the next 30 days.

         Anthony F. Markel,  Chairman of the Board,  said "The decision to close
the Lansing  production  facility  and  eliminate  or reduce  sales  offices was
difficult but necessary to help return the Company to  profitability.  The Board
of  Directors  continues  to focus on  bringing  costs in line with sales and on
improving  margins.  The  Richmond  facility  has the  capacity  to  handle  the
additional   workload   resulting  from  the  consolidation  of  the  production
facilities.  Although  we  regret  the  impact  on our  loyal  employees,  these
restructuring  steps are  necessary  for the long term  financial  health of the
Company."

         Severance  will be offered to employees  affected by the  restructuring
initiatives.  The Company  expects to hire  additional  employees in Richmond as
necessary to meet production requirements.

         The  Company  anticipates  that it will  write off  approximately  $3.6
million of goodwill  associated  with the Lansing  facility and take a yet to be
determined restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2001.
