| SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Environmental Tectonics
Corporation's (Amex: ETC) Sterilizer Division announced today that has been
awarded another contract from a leading pharmaceutical company located in New
Jersey. Under the contract, ETC will supply a cGMP Sanitary 3A constructed steam autoclave/sterilizer fitted with its unique vertical rising door arrangement. This vertical rising door design, one of three standard ETC door types, allows clients to significantly increase chamber size and load capacity in comparison to units with traditional sliding or swinging doors. ETC was selected because of its ability to provide this innovative design which best utilizes valuable facility space. Michael W. Allen, V. P. of ETC's Biomedical Systems and Sterilizer Group, commented, "We believe our ability and willingness to provide innovative solutions to clients with space constraints makes the vertical rising door autoclave an attractive alternative to costly and disruptive facility renovations. Our technical staff is constantly thinking `outside the box' for solutions to problems that others would simply not address. This, and other innovations are part of our continuing initiative to expand ETC's presence in the global pharmaceutical, research and medical device markets." ETC designs, develops, installs and maintains steam and ethylene oxide gas sterilization systems, environmental testing and simulation systems, aircrew training systems, hypobaric (altitude training) chambers, deep-diving and clinical hyperbaric medicine systems, public entertainment systems and related products for domestic and international customers.
