Energy Editors/Business Editors

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2003

ENGlobal Corporation (AMEX:ENG) announced today that its subsidiary, ENGlobal Technologies, Inc., has purchased all of the ownership interest of Senftleber & Associates, L.P. ("Senftleber"), a Houston-based provider of technical personnel with expertise in SCADA systems ("Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition"). Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Operating companies, such as pipelines and utilities, utilize SCADA systems extensively to monitor the status of and to control remote facilities from a centralized master station. Senftleber's activities are specifically focused on master station installations, which are the hub of these communication systems. This strategic acquisition allows ENGlobal to expand its capabilities with respect to the specification, programming and maintenance of SCADA master stations. To date, ENGlobal's SCADA work has been primarily focused on the design and automation of remote facilities that communicate with the SCADA master station.

Senftleber was originally founded in 1988 by the late Mr. Al Senftleber, a well-respected pioneer in the SCADA industry. The company produced over $2 million in revenues during each of the last three calendar years. It is expected that the company will adopt the ENGlobal Technologies name after a short transition period.

"The acquisition of Senftleber adds valuable technical capabilities to ENGlobal Technologies, which can be utilized by many of our existing clients," stated Michael L. Burrow, P.E., Chairman and CEO of ENGlobal. "While this acquisition is relatively small, we are continuing negotiations with several larger potential acquisition candidates as we continue our efforts to execute on our acquisition strategy."
