MEMPHIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2004

Diversified Thermal Solutions Inc. (OTCBB:DVTS), announced today that Refractory & Industrial Supply Group, Inc. (RIS Group), a division of Diversified Thermal Solutions, Inc. (DTS), announces the offering of their new line of refractory monolithics and brick products under the newly launched RIS Group brand name, which is in keeping with the long-term business strategy to become a full service provider of refractory products. DTS management feels that because of certain recent developments in the industry, the launching of the new RIS Group family of products sooner, rather than later, is paramount in order to gain immediate market penetration.

RIS Group now offers a complete line of refractory monolithics (non-brick materials) and firebrick products, such as one of the industry's most utilized materials, high alumina/low cement castables, RISFLOW 60 LC, or the more unique fused or vitreous silica brick products, RISIL.

RIS Group also now has the capability for the production of precast, prefired refractory shapes. These are shapes that are cast to the customer's specifications and then prefired so that they are placed directly into service, greatly reducing the customer's downtime.
