Mattman to Expand Manufacturing Facility Due to Increased Customer Orders; Mattman Sees Unprecedented Increases in Orders and Deliveries

SAN MARCOS, Calif.--March 22, 2006--Mattman Specialty Vehicles, Inc. (OTC:MMSV) (www.mattmanvehicles.com), today announced that it is expanding its manufacturing facility to increase production due to the Company's continued growth. Backlog for the Company is now one year, and orders continue to flow in as the Department of Homeland Security continues to fund first responder vehicles for municipalities, counties, states, and federal agencies.

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.

"With federal funding, agencies are buying the proper tools instead of the cheapest thing out there that the city can budget for," states John Mattman, Chairman of the Board of Mattman. "Vehicles are more complex now with interoperability communications equipment that would have prevented the communications blackout in New York City during 9-11. Another trend we're seeing is larger quantities are being ordered, such as a 12 truck order for the State Department, an order for three Command Centers for Los Angeles County Fire Department, and even a seven truck order from Bank of America from their Business Interruption Group for mobile bank branches to assist during events like Hurricane Katrina. The applications are broadening, the business in the Middle East and China is really opening up, quantities are up, and the trucks are much larger and better equipped than even five years ago. Fortunately, we were established in the industry and have the technical and production experience to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity."

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%.

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.
