Business Editors & Medical/Health Writers

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 2001

Airtech International Group, Inc., (OTCBB:AIRG) has expanded its sales distribution channel in the Pacific Rim to the locations of Taipei, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and Schenzen, China.

Airtech President, Kirk Garfield said, "The Pac Rim is a market of enormous sales potential for Airtech's products. We are working closely with our Master Distributor, Aurora Technologies, Inc. (DBA Airsopure Asia) to expand its presence throughout the region. Pac Rim countries have severe problems with indoor air quality, and local governments are taking swift action to legislate and enforce strict indoor air quality standards. Airsopure Asia, Inc. has projected to capture $1.5 million of indoor air quality product sales during the next twelve months. On December 14th, we shipped our fourth container of products to Airsopure Asia, Inc. in the last twelve months. At the rate that they are developing, I expect to see a lot more containers of Airtech products to be heading their direction in the next twelve months."

Airtech President Kirk Garfield, and Airtech International Operations Consultant John Potter recently traveled to Taipei, Taiwan for the purpose of participating in a major television press conference conducted by Airsopure Asia, Inc. The multi-media press conference was held at the Sherwood Four Season Hotel in Taipei. Approximately 100 guests attended representing major newspapers, television, radio and Asian magazines. Government representatives from the Ministry of Health and the Industrial Technology Research Institute were also present. The event was coordinated by GP House Communications General Manager, Gail Yang, and was broadcast to much of the Pac Rim.

Airsopure Asia President, Mr. Steven Chen was the key speaker and presented an extensive multi-media program. Mr. Chen was followed by the presentation of Kirk Garfield, and questions from the press. Countries in the Pac Rim are vitally interested in IAQ, and in many instances well ahead of American standards. Response from television and newspaper reporters to the presentations of Messrs. Chen and Garfield were very positive. As a result of the meeting two new distributors are now under contract with Airsopure Asia to market Airtech products in Taiwan (pop. 22 million). One of the new distributors canceled his contract with a US based international manufacturer of competitive equipment in order to become a dealer with Airtech/Airsopure.

The Airsopure Asia distributor in Hong Kong has made substantial progress during 2001 in marketing Airtech products, and has committed to major marketing expansion during 2002. Their new customers include the Hong Kong Airport and Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation. A Schenzen, China based IAQ testing laboratory has already approved Airtech's products for installation in government buildings. Laboratory testing is a requirement of all indoor air quality technologies prior to sale and installation. Sales and installation into government buildings and commercial facilities will begin in January 2002.

Kirk Garfield reports, "Airsopure Asia (also doing business as Airsopure China and Airsopure Pacific) is poised to dominate the IAQ market throughout the Pacific Rim. They are well organized, aggressive and determined to achieve substantial market share. We are delighted to have them taking the point in leading our efforts in this important marketplace."
