Airpax strengthens power management positioning in mobile equipment and alternative energy



Cambridge, Maryland | June 30, 2006 | Airpax Corporation, a leading worldwide manufacturer of protection, sensing, and control components, modules, and systems, today announced its acquisition of Dimensions Unlimited. Equity financing for the acquisition was provided by Chicago Growth Partners, Norwest Equity Partners and management. Dimensions Unlimited, located in White Bear Lake, MN, is a leading manufacturer of power inverters that convert DC power, typically provided by a battery, to AC power. DC to AC power inverters are increasingly becoming the products of choice for operating sophisticated electronic equipment when grid power is not available. Dimensions Unlimited offers a complete line of reliable, efficient inverters capable of powering any type of equipment within their power rating. Dimensions Unlimited units can be found in a variety of applications including utility and service trucks, scissor lifts, traffic signal, home, and business power backup systems, steel mills, railroad locomotives, U.S. military, marine and recreational vehicles.

Dimensions Unlimited and Airpax currently participate in many complimentary markets, including work trucks, recreational vehicles, marine and military. As such, the combination of the two businesses will result in numerous exciting synergies with all of the Airpax business units, including Airpax ED&D’s leading-edge E-Plex monitoring and control technology, Airpax power protection products and Airpax sensors and temperature controls, which can be fully developed through the company’s extensive global organization.

Dimensions Unlimited is now part of the Airpax Power Protection Products division. Dennis Getter, President of Dimensions Unlimited, will continue to lead the company. Mr. Getter will report to Steve McDonald, President of the Airpax Power Protection Products division. All of Dimensions Unlimited’s current operations in White Bear Lake, MN, will continue.

"Dimensions Unlimited’s strong market position in utility and work trucks establishes a strong foundation for growth, and their growing participation in recreational vehicles, military applications and traffic signals presents a very strong future for this company," according to Mr. McDonald. "We are very excited to partner with Dennis Getter and we believe that the combined strength of Airpax and Dimensions significantly advances our strategy of building a broader, more synergistic offering of products and services for our global customer base."

Dennis Getter stated, "Dimensions Unlimited focuses on high quality inverters that provide strong, steady, and clean AC power. The future looks very bright for the combination of Dimensions Unlimited and Airpax. The two companies exactly match in our company philosophies of always providing superior products and outstanding customer service, with the highest degree of ethical behavior."
