Secom General Reports Higher 3rd Fiscal Quarter Sales and Net Income

    NOVI, Mich., July 29 -- Secom General Corporation
today reported net income of $157,100, or three cents per
share (on more shares outstanding), on sales of $12,964,500 for its third
quarter ended June 30, 1997, compared to a net profit of $40,500, or one cent
per share, on sales of $8,253,900 in the same quarter last year.
    "The third fiscal quarter sales and profit improvements, primarily reflect
the addition of our Milford unit, which was acquired in November 1996," said
Robert A. Clemente, Secom's chairman and president.  He said that, while the
company's Uniflow unit experienced higher than expected costs associated with
the start-up of various new orders, "Uniflow is expected to show marked
improvements as these new orders progress beyond their respective ramp-up
phases."
    Secom is a leading supplier of various metal parts and tooling for
primarily the automotive and trucking industries.  Secom operates in three
business segments: (1) metal parts forming, (2) tooling for cold/hot forming
industry, and (3) production machining.  Sales and manufacturing are completed
