         Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We were previously principal accountants for Amistar Corporation and,
         under the date of February 19, 2003, we reported on the financial
         statements of Amistar Corporation as of and for the years ended
         December 31, 2002 and 2001. On April 1, 2003, our appointment as
         principal accountants was terminated. We have read Amistar
         Corporation's statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-K dated
         April 1, 2003, and we agree with such statements, except that we are
         not in a position to agree or disagree with Amistar Corporation's
         statements made under Item 4 in the first, second and sixth paragraphs.

         Very truly yours,

         KPMG LLP
