Announcement

Dear Valued Customer,

FM Industries is excited to announce the acquisition of the operational assets of LJ Engineering and Manufacturing Inc., effective May 1st, 2010. LJ Engineering is recognized as a critical supplier to the Semiconductor Equipment and other Hi Tech Industries.

The addition of LJ to the FM Industries family will enable FMI to increase our capacity to provide quality products and manufacturing solutions that contribute to the success of our customers.

LJ has been operating for 39 years and has established a solid reputation for providing excellent customer service and manufacturing support. LJ is based in Santa Clara, California and currently has 130 employees.

We are focused on a seamless transition to ensure our customers see a continuation of the quality and service they have come to expect from both FMI and LJ Engineering. We view this as a positive move for our customers and each of our companies. Combining the benefits of two world-class manufacturing organizations into one focused supplier will be a value-add for all involved.

We have enclosed several FAQ's for your review. Should there be any additional questions please contact Terry Fordham at Terry.Fordham@FMIndustries.com.
