Frederick, Maryland | June 13, 2006 | Airpax Corporation today announced the merger of its Thermal Sensing Products (TSP) Division with Airpax ED&D, the recently-acquired developer of E-Plex monitoring and control technology. The new operating division will be called Airpax Sensors and Control Systems (SCS). It will be led by Vice President and General Manager Brent Hollenbeck.

Airpax SCS will be headquartered in Frederick, Maryland. All existing operations in Oviedo, Florida and Matamoros, Mexico will be maintained. Airpax will continue to grow and expand its thermostat and temperature sensor businesses. Existing TSP customers will receive the same meticulous attention as in the past, but will now be presented with an even more complete line of products, technology, and solutions.

"Airpax ED&D’s leading-edge technology will create many opportunities for growth for Airpax," said Airpax CEO Dennis Karr. "Via acquisition, partnering and internal product development, Airpax is building a broader, more synergistic offering of products and services for our global customer base. The merger of TSP and ED&D advances that strategy. Airpax customers have responded very positively to the E-Plex technology. When combined, the strengths of TSP and ED&D create a very exciting, potent organization focused on bringing new technology and greater value to Airpax customers."

The reorganization lends the capabilities of the larger Thermal Sensing Products business to support the growth of the E-Plex technology and product line. Existing TSP sales, customer service, engineering, manufacturing and purchasing resources will be expanded to support both TSP and ED&D. Likewise, research and development capabilities within Airpax ED&D will be focused on product development initiatives that benefit both ED&D customers and the TSP customer base.

"The vision for the new Airpax SCS is simple," said Brent Hollenbeck VP & General Manager of the new Airpax SCS. "We believe that innovative sensing and control technologies can make vehicles, equipment and buildings better. By better we mean more efficient, friendlier to the environment, easier to operate, more capable, less expensive and easier to maintain. With this strategic realignment of resources, this work can be further accelerated."
