Business Editors

EXPORT, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2003

AMI DODUOCO, a Technitrol (NYSE:TNL) company, announced the introduction of a new and greatly expanded Internet presence at www.amidoduco.com. Re-fashioned and enlarged in virtually every section, the Web site now contains more technical information about AMI DODUCO's electrical contact materials, products, electromechanical components and refining and coating services. It also has more detail about production facilities, quality systems and customer support capabilities.

"We want our site to be the industry's premier portal to information about electrical contacts, contact materials, subassemblies and related products," said AMI DODUCO President Albert Thorp, III. "As the only global supplier across the full product spectrum, we believe we are in the best position to provide that resource. Our customers, who continue to expand globally, need a thorough, up-to-date and easy-to-use reference for contact solutions, whether they are for electric power, building circuitry, automotive, household appliance, machinery, consumer electronics or jewelry applications. What's more, this valuable online tool enables us to reach current and potential customers in a cost-effective and timely fashion."

More user-friendly navigation functions were added to the site, along with a new design that resembles the Web presence of parent company Technitrol, Inc. (www.technitrol.com).

The site also contains a calendar of AMI DODUCO's upcoming trade show appearances along with its latest product, research and organizational news.
