Clemson University Takes Delivery of New Mobile Command Center; Dual Purpose Unit Also Serves as a Bio Terrorism Mobile Chemical and Plant Disease Identification Laboratory

SAN MARCOS, Calif.--March 9, 2006--Mattman Specialty Vehicles, Inc. (OTC:MMSV) (www.mattmanvehicles.com), today announced that it has delivered a new dual-purpose mobile unit to Clemson University in South Carolina. With a reputation as the industry's leader in design, technology, rugged construction, and competitive pricing, Mattman was selected as the vendor of choice for this innovative design, which can be used as a traditional security mobile command center, but also function as a lab for chemical and plant disease detection.

MMSV designs and manufactures vehicles for a broad array of clientele including federal and municipal law enforcement agencies, fire departments, medical establishments, Fortune 500 corporations, airports and others. Mattman custom engineers modifications to production vehicles based on its client's specific need for interoperability, weapons access, protection level, and aesthetic appeal. Mattman has established an enviable reputation in the industry by providing the finest quality specialty vehicles for over a decade.

"Whether it's a university or municipality, it's not uncommon for several departments to have separate budgets and separate needs," states John Mattman, Chairman of the Board of Mattman. "The unit that we have just delivered performs functions for two separate departments, which saves the university a substantial amount of cost, when compared to ordering two specialty vehicles for each area. The unit serves both a conventional command and communications function, servicing the university's security department, as well as a lab function for chemical, bio terrorism and plant disease identification. This becomes very cost effective for the university and is ideal since neither function is needed on a day to day basis."

The Clemson University contract had a value of $103,095.00. Mattman anticipates receiving numerous orders for similar dual-purpose vehicles within the near future, as their attributes become well known in the industry.

Mattman has experienced strong growth in recent years with a current growth rate of in excess of 40%. Sales for fiscal year 2005 totaled $9.9 million. Mattman's current backlog is in excess of $14.0 million. Mattman projects 2006 end of year sales to be approximately $14 million, with gross margins remaining in excess of 20%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for fiscal 2005 was approximately $550,000 and is expected to double in 2006 to approximately $1 million.

About Mattman

Mattman was formed in 1983 by former Secret Service agent Jurg Mattman. The Company's primary service was dignitary and VIP protection. In 1984, Mattman was selected by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee and AT&T to provide the security for the 1984 Olympic Torch Relay. In 1986, Mattman provided nation-wide security for the event Hands Across America. Gaining recognition as experts in mega-events, the company provided risk management and security for Miller Brewing Mattman's "Biggest Party in History" and a Philip Morris sponsored nationwide tour of the Bill of Rights in 1989 and 1990-1991 respectively.

The Bill of Rights tour required a mobile command post to be used by 26 former U.S. Marine Embassy Guards. Mattman's design and production of the unit thrust the Company into the specialty vehicles business in 1990. Since that time, Mattman has exited the VIP protection business to focus exclusively on specialty vehicle production and has built over 500 units for medical and educational institutions, law enforcement and commercial markets. Mattman has achieved a reputation as a leading manufacturer of mobile units for law enforcement, medical institutions, and Fortune 500 corporations. Mattman units can be found as far as Beijing, Siberia, Egypt and Venezuela. Law enforcement command and tactical units are spread throughout the country, from Logan Airport to Orlando, Washington State to San Diego. Mattman's goal has always been to provide the highest quality commercial use specialty vehicles available with durability and aesthetics as its top priority. Private industry customers who have come to recognize Mattman's quality include Bank of America, Philip Morris Companies, Black and Decker, McDonalds, Hormel Foods, Nokia, Sony, Bilstein Corporation of America, EG&G Astrophysics, as well as the numerous law enforcement agencies listed in our references.

Mattman's production facility is located in San Marcos, California, which is in north San Diego County. A new 29,000 square foot building houses all aspects of its manufacturing process except painting.

What sets Mattman apart from the majority of manufacturers is commercial grade construction, attention to detail, and documented quality control performed on a daily basis.
