AEI RECEIVES NEW ORDERS FOR MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURING AND TEST AUTOMATION

Orders Fuel AEI's Continued Expansion in Medical Device and Life Sciences Manufacturing Automation

Wilmington, Massachusetts September 29, 2003 Automation Engineering Incorporated (AEI) has announced that it has received a continued increase through the past four quarters in bookings for design for manufacturing services, automated manufacturing systems, and automated testing systems to produce and qualify medical devices and other life sciences related applications.

"AEI has been working with our customers in this area for many years. A key aspect of being able to manufacture medical devices effectively is knowing how to refine product design to achieve process repeatability, whether the manufacturing and quality assurance operations are ultimately automated or remain mostly manual. AEI technical and management staff have helped many customers in exactly this capacity and it allows them to maximize the commercial benefits of the product ideas they have invented and need to bring to market." said Justin Roe, AEI's Chief Operating Officer.

"Given government regulations regarding stabilization of product design prior to clinical trials and the high overall investment costs to bring a new medical product to market, getting the product and process design optimized is vital. AEI helps our customers achieve this on every application we take on." added Andre By, Chief Technology Officer and founder of AEI .
