R·O·M Corporation Acquires Bustin Industrial Products

To Our Valued Customers

With the potential for extensive synergies between our two companies and the opportunity to expand the commitment to you, our customers, R·O·M Corporation is excited to announce the acquisition of Bustin Industrial Products from MW Supply, Inc. While ownership of Bustin will change, nothing else will -- except our ability to better serve our customers at both companies!

We have always admired the quality, safety and efficiency that Bustin products represent. We are also always looking to enhance our service to you through internal expansion and strategic acquisitions. That is why the R·O·M and Bustin combination makes such perfect sense.

Here are a few reasons why we believe you will benefit from the combination:

• We will enhance existing sales and support services with R·O·M's extensive team of inside customer development representatives by adding product and territory managers strategically located throughout the country. The end result is a bigger sales team to better serve your needs.
• Our expanded sales team will be able to offer you a broader product portfolio to better fit your specific trailer access needs.
• Our expanded engineering team will be able to find more practical solutions in an even more expedited manner to better address your unique requirements.
• We will add Bustin's industrial product line, Engineered to Order expertise, and more than 80 years of market leadership to give you more choices and the ability to purchase customized solutions to meet unique safe access needs.
• You will be able to access the resources of both companies with one phone call, whether you need trailer access products or industrial safety and access solutions.

Both companies will continue to operate as they have individually. You will continue to call on the same sales, marketing and engineering resources you've called on in the past, either at R·O·M, Bustin or both. In the days ahead, we'll strive to enhance that process so that you can have access to our entire family of products from either company.

MW Supply will return to its roots as a manufacturer of cargo control solutions and will continue to distribute safety access solutions as a value added re-seller for R·O·M and Bustin products.

Sincerely,

Jeff Hupke, President
