KRUG'S Klippan Subsidiary Receives Two Gold Awards For its Children's Automobile Safety Seats
    ATLANTA, Nov. 23 -- KRUG International Corp. (Amex: KRG)
announced that its European subsidiary, Klippan Limited, earned Mother & Baby
Magazine's highest awards for its Prima and Futura automobile safety seats at
the Mother & Baby Magazine's awards ceremony in London.  Klippan won the only
two awards presented for baby car seats.  Both the Prima and Futura will be
featured in a special awards supplement of Mother and Baby Magazine published
during the first week in January, 2000.
    Klippan's Prima seat, designed for use by children from birth to
15 months, won the Gold Award for the Best Infant Carrier.  The judges
selected the Prima for its ease of handling, comfort and protection.  No
Silver Award (second place) was granted by the judges this year leaving the
Prima with sole honors in its category.
    Klippan's Futura seat, designed for use by children from birth to six
years, won the Gold Award for the Best Combination Car Seat.  The judges
selected the Futura for its secure fit, ease of installation and utility of
movement from car to car.  Again, the Futura gained sole honors in its class
as no runner-up award was granted.
    David Wright, managing director of Klippan, said, "We are especially
delighted with these Mother and Baby Magazine awards because parents, our most
important customers, as well as consumer experts made up the judges panel."
    Robert M. Thornton, Jr., president and chief executive officer of KRUG
commented, "The quality and comfort features of Klippan's children's
automobile safety seats, combined with the latest designs which appeal to a
broad range of customers are driving these awards.  The new Klippan seats have
now won six first place awards in three European countries since their
introduction in late 1998.  The Mother and Baby Magazine awards are another
exciting milestone in our continuing efforts to develop Klippan's business."
