Mansur Industries Announces Agreement With Republic Industries

    MIAMI, Oct. 5 -- Mansur Industries Inc.
announced today that it has entered into a Master Purchase Agreement with
Republic Industries pursuant to which the Company has become Republic's
authorized and approved vendor of industrial parts washers.
    Republic, after two years of utilizing the SystemOne recycling parts
washers in several of its automobile dealerships, coupled with months of
extensive review and analysis, has endorsed the SystemOne units for use in its
300 plus automobile dealerships throughout the country. The
Republic/AutoNation organization utilizes approximately 3,000 parts washer
units and the Company looks forward to replacing the majority with its state-
of-the-art SystemOne units.
    Paul I. Mansur, Chief Executive Officer of Mansur Industries, stated that,
"We are very proud to add Republic Industries, the world's largest auto
dealership group, to our growing list of national customers. The Company's
SystemOne technology offers Republic compelling advantages. Based on
independent testing as well as over two years of on-site evaluation of the
Company's SystemOne units in operation at several Republic mega-dealerships,
we believe that Republic's conversion to the Company's SystemOne technology
will provide dramatic cost and productivity savings while eliminating millions
of pounds of hazardous waste annually."
    Founded in 1990, Mansur designs, manufactures, sells and supports a full
range of self contained, recycling industrial parts washing products for use
in the automotive, aviation, marine and general industrial markets. The
Company has been awarded ten patents for its products which incorporate
innovative, proprietary resource recovery and waste minimization technologies.
The Company is headquartered in Miami, Florida.
