Exhibit 99.1

 PRAB AND KALAMAZOO ACQUISITION CORPORATION SIGN AMENDMENT TO MERGER
AGREEMENT EXTENDING TERM OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT UNTIL AUGUST 12, 2004

    PRAB, INC. ("Prab" or the "Company") (OTCBB:PRAB), today announced
that it has entered into a first amendment to the previously announced
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 12, 2003, between
it and Kalamazoo Acquisition Corporation ("KAC"), a newly formed
entity owned by Gary A. Herder, Chairman of the Board of Directors,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Prab and Edward Thompson,
Vice President of Operation, and Kalamazoo Prab Subsidiary
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAC.
    The amendment provides for one change to the merger agreement
which provides that Prab or KAC may elect to terminate the merger
agreement if the merger is not completed by August 12, 2004 instead of
March 12, 2004.
    As a result of the merger, the Company will become a
privately-held company. Accordingly, upon closing, the registration of
the Company's common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
will terminate and the Company will cease filing reports with the SEC.
    The announcement of the first amendment to the merger agreement
described above is neither a solicitation of a proxy, an offer to
purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company intends to file and deliver all
forms, proxy statements, notices and documents required under federal
and state law with respect to the merger. The Company intends to
promptly file preliminary proxy materials with the SEC for the special
meeting of the shareholders to vote on the proposed transaction. Upon
completion of the SEC's review of the preliminary proxy materials, the
Company will call a special meeting of its shareholders to vote on the
merger and will file with the SEC and mail to the Company's
shareholders definitive proxy materials. The definitive proxy
materials will contain important information regarding the merger,
including, among other things, the recommendation of the Company's
Board of Directors and the Special Committee in respect of the merger.
Shareholders of the Company are advised to read the definitive proxy
materials when made available, including the proxy statement and the
merger agreement, as amended, before making any decisions regarding
the merger. Copies of the definitive proxy materials, and any
amendments or supplements thereto, will be available when they are
mailed to shareholders without charge at the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov or by requesting them in writing from Prab, Inc., 5944
East Kilgore Road, P.O. Box 2121, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49003, Attn:
Chief Financial Officer, or by telephone (269) 382-8200.
    The Company, Mr. Herder and the other directors of the Company may
be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of the shareholders
of the Company in favor of the merger. Information concerning the
direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, of
these persons is contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January
28, 2004, and will be contained in the proxy materials relating to the
proposed transaction.
