PENNSAUKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2003

RCM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:RCMT), an innovative leader in the implementation of software solutions, announced that its customer, AMTEC, Brake Component Production subsidiary of Akebono North America, received the "Rapid Achiever" award from QAD, Inc. at the annual Explore user conference. AMTEC manufactures brake pads for OEM and aftermarket customers.

"We built a new facility in Springfield, KY and were in need of a complete system," stated Layne Boulden, Controller of AMTEC. "They were already running QAD in the corporate office and liked it for its ease of use." AMTEC implemented QAD MFG/PRO which was fully functional in 90 days. "I was astounded," Layne continued, "at how rapid it was to implement!"

RCM Technologies, an authorized QAD Sales Agent and Service Alliance Partner, assisted AMTEC with the implementation and will provide on-going consulting services. "We selected RCM for their professionalism," said Boulden. "RCM demonstrated a firm understanding of the product and was very responsive to our needs and objectives."

"The project began with the production facility still under construction. Ninety days later, they were using MFG/PRO and shipping the product," commented Allen Patrick, RCM Vice President of QAD Practice. "This is yet another example of the speed of implementation possible with QAD applications."
