FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LMI AEROSPACE ACQUIRES ASSETS OF
STRETCH FORMING CORPORATION
Company also names Brian Geary to Board of Directors
ST. LOUIS, June 12, 2002 - LMI Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq/NMS:LMIA)
announced today that it has acquired the aerospace metal fabrication assets of
Stretch Forming Corporation (SFC), an aerospace sheet metal manufacturer based
in Murrieta, California. Terms were not disclosed.
Stretch Forming Corporation, which has annual sales of $1.8 million,
currently does business with several Boeing divisions in Canada as well as a
number of California companies, none of which are current LMI customers.
Companies such as Lockheed and Vought, which together represent 70 percent of
SFC's sales, are customers of both LMI and SFC.
Additionally, LMI Aerospace announced the appointment of Brian Geary to
its Board of Directors. Mr. Geary was the owner of Versaform Corporation and
Versaform Canada Corporation, both of which were acquired by LMI Aerospace on
May 16, 2002.
"Brian's experience at Versaform in the corporate and regional aircraft
markets will be quite valuable to LMI," said Ronald Saks. "We also expect to use
Brian's broad knowledge of the supplier base to complement our acquisition
strategy." Mr. Geary currently holds the position of General Manager of
Versaform Corporation.
LMI Aerospace, Inc. is a leading supplier of quality components to the
aerospace and technology industries. The Company operates eight manufacturing
facilities that fabricate, finish and integrate close tolerance aluminum and
specialty alloy components for commercial, corporate, regional and military
aircraft, and for laser equipment used in the semiconductor and medical
industries. Its products include leading edge wing slats and lens assemblies;
cockpit window frame assemblies; fuselage skins and supports; passenger and
cargo door frames and supports; and excimer laser components.
This press release includes forward-looking statements related to LMI
Aerospace's outlook for 2002 and future periods, which are based on current
management expectations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various
risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of LMI Aerospace,
Inc. Actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements
as a result, among other things, of the factors detailed from time to time in
LMI Aerospace's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
