Engineered Support's Vice Chairman Celebrates Anniversary on Nasdaq By Ringing Opening Bell

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Engineered Support Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:EASI) Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gerald A. Potthoff, presided over the NASDAQ opening bell today to celebrate the company's 20-year anniversary on the exchange.

"Engineered Support Systems has certainly enjoyed a very beneficial and successful association with the NASDAQ over the years," Potthoff said in his remarks during the event. "The exchange truly exhibited entrepreneurial thinking and spirit, and provided fertile ground for growth -- which our company obviously took excellent advantage of, as we advanced from around $20 million to more than $1 billion in forecasted revenues over our 20 years on the exchange," he said.

"As the world's first electronic stock market, NASDAQ is clearly differentiated by technology -- a trait Engineered Support also values and shares. Technology has served as the basis for many of the advanced sustainment solutions we offer to our nation's war fighters, and to those who serve in protecting our security against the challenges of our ever-changing world.

"Just like NASDAQ, Engineered Support is future-oriented -- focused on strengthening the diversity of solutions we offer to our customers; and focused on continued growth -- both organically as we optimize the execution of our business, as well as strategically through synergistic acquisitions," Potthoff said.

Engineered Support Systems, Inc. provides advanced sustainment solutions including the design, manufacture and supply of integrated military electronics, support equipment and technical and logistics services for all branches of America's armed forces and certain foreign militaries, homeland security forces and selected government and intelligence agencies.
