Mile Marker International, Inc. Announces Receipt of Military Orders

POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--Mile Marker International, Inc. (OTCBB:MMRK), a specialty vehicle parts supplier, announced the receipt of purchase orders from the U.S. military totaling $1,006,522 for its unique hydraulic winch/bumper assemblies.

Mile Marker International Inc. today announced the receipt of several purchase orders totaling $1,006,522 against two of its four military contracts for its patented hydraulic winch and bumper assemblies. These purchase orders, which call for the delivery of 437 units during the next three months, are the first purchase orders to be received under the military’s Fiscal Year 2007 budget which began on October 1, 2006.

Richard Aho, President and CEO of Mile Marker International, Inc., said: “We expect to ship most of these purchase orders during the fourth quarter of 2006 since we have been carrying inventory to assemble these military winches during the past several months. Since the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 2007 Defense Budget on June 20 of this year, the Company had expected to receive additional purchase orders earlier under its existing contracts. However, the U.S. Senate did not agree on a final version of the 2007 Defense Budget until the last day of the Congressional session on September 29, 2006. As we have repeatedly stated, we cannot predict the timing of such military purchase orders, but we do anticipate receiving additional larger purchase orders under our other contracts as the military ramps up its maintenance program again. We currently have approximately $47 million in potential unfilled orders under four different military contracts which expire between March 31, 2009 and February 11, 2010.”

Mile Marker International, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mile Marker, Inc., is a manufacturer and distributor of specialized vehicle parts primarily for the four-wheel drive recreational, utility and military vehicle markets. Mile Marker's unique patented line of hydraulic winches uses a vehicle's power steering pump as its source of energy.
