ENGlobal Corporation Tops Zweig's `Hot 100' List.

HOUSTON -- ENGlobal Corporation (AMEX:ENG), a leading provider of engineering services, today announced that it has been recognized as the fastest-growing architecture/engineering firm by a leading industry organization. Zweig White, an architecture/engineering/ construction (A/E/C) industry management consulting firm, ranked ENGlobal at the top of its list of the 100 fastest-growing companies in the industry in its Zweig Letter publication http://events.zweigwhite.com/hotfirm2004/2004_winners.htm. In 2003, ENGlobal received a second place ranking on the "Hot 100" list.

ENGlobal will be honored, along with the other "Hot 100" A/E/C Firms, at the fifth annual Zweig Letter Hot Firm Conference and Celebration being held Oct. 27-29 in Boston. This annual event features keynote presentations by industry executives who gather to share their strategies for success.

"ENGlobal is proud to move to the number one position on this important benchmark list," said Michael L. Burrow, P.E., chairman and chief executive officer of ENGlobal Corporation. "We continue to gain market share and to build the critical level of capabilities needed to compete for larger projects with higher margins. I would like to recognize the professionalism and dedication of our employees as being especially important to reaching this major milestone."

Mark Zweig, president and chief executive officer of ZweigWhite, says, "The firms that made this year's Hot Firm List should be proud. They've achieved what many of their competitors could not. It's really great to see the management of these companies is still committed to growth despite the uncertain economy of the past three years. And to be number one on the list, as ENGlobal achieved in 2004, is a tremendous accomplishment. It is a real reflection of their firmwide commitment to their clients and their passion for the engineering business."

ZweigWhite is a leading source of management consulting, information and education for the design and construction industry. The Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2004 List is based equally on percentage growth and dollar growth in gross revenue from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2003. The list is limited to firms based in the U.S. deriving the majority of their revenue from the practice of architecture, engineering, planning, environmental consulting or allied disciplines. Only firms that were in business as of Jan. 1, 2000, and had 2000 revenue of $1 million or greater, were eligible.
