Dyson's Fast Growth Wins Weatherhead 100 Award

    PAINESVILLE, Ohio, Dec. 7 -- The Dyson Corporation has been
selected for the Weatherhead 100 group of fast growing companies.  The award,
made December 8, 1998, is sponsored by the Weatherhead School of Management of
Case Western Reserve University to recognize companies which have achieved
outstanding growth.
    The Dyson Corporation was purchased five years ago by a group headed by
Theodore L. Wolf, current President, and "has sustained incredible growth and
consequently made a positive economic impact on our Ohio community," said
Benjamin R. Keller, a Weatherhead 100 spokesperson.
    The Dyson Corporation produces forgings and large fasteners.  A new
division, Dyson Forging Technologies, has high-speed, hot parts formers
capable of making up to 85 forgings per minute.  This division recently was
ISO 9002 certified and has also received the 1998 Lake-Geauga Fast Track 50
award which honors firms that have obtained outstanding business success.
    The Dyson Corporation and its division are located at 53 Freedom Road,
Painesville, Ohio 44077.
