I am writing to advise that Engineering Design & Sales (E.D.S.) will be closing its manufacturing operation in the summer of 2009. E.D.S. is grateful to the many clients we have served since 1976 and plans an orderly closure of our operation to accommodate clients until they can source their requirements elsewhere. E.D.S. urges all clients to carefully review their needs and take action quickly because many of the battery chargers and power supplies we offer are not readily available elsewhere.

E.D.S. was started in the basement of Roy G. and Joan Gignac's home in July 1976. The company later moved into a facility in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, where numerous expansions occurred as the business continued to grow. In 1989, E.D.S.' continued growth required a further expansion into the present facility in Danville's Airside Industrial Park. Over the course of the last 32 years, E.D.S. has served over 2200 different companies located in virtually every state throughout the country. In addition, E.D.S. has manufactured parts that have been used in countries throughout most of the world. While E.D.S. has been referred to as the "Small Volume Specialist", the company has shipped well over 20,000,000 products.

Inquiries may be directed to mark@edspower.com.

Sincerely,

ENGINEERING DESIGN & SALES
