Press Release Author = American Sensor Technologies

Industry = Electronics

Press Release Summary = American Sensor Technologies (www.astsensors.com) and its
subsidiary Macro Sensors (macrosensors.com) have appointed UG Electronics as
distributor of their full line of sensing products throughout Finland.

Press Release Body = For American Sensor Technologies (AST), UG Electronics will
represent the Company's product offering of pressure sensors and switches, while UG
Electronics will sell Macro Sensors' line of displacement transducers, gauging
probes, spring-loaded LVDTs and support instrumentation in Finland.

A well-known distributor in Finland, UG Electronics specializes in sensors, data
acquisition and related equipment. The company's understanding of sensor technology
and its use in different industry applications were major criteria in their
selection by American Sensor Technologies and Macro Sensors.

"With the appointment of UG Electronics, we feel that we can serve the Finnish
market even better," notes Ken Hartman, AST/Macro Sensors International Sales
Manager. "UG Electronics will get the word out that AST and Macro Sensors
specialize in custom special units in relatively small quantities that many other
companies won't do. As the majority of our transducers are manufactured in-house,
close to design and applications engineering, specials and standard excepts can be
accomplished both fast and accurately."
