WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 2001

During the Communications Solutions Expo this week, the Kelles Company, a manufacturer oF state-of-the-art environmental test chambers, will be showing its new Kelles Modular System, a new line of modular and compact environmental test chambers to address today's need for a more flexible and cost effective way to test new products.

The Need:

Businesses have learned that long-term success depends on improved durability, flexibility, and performance of their products. They've also discovered that systematic, sophisticated testing of components can be a key to achieving these improvements, and to sustaining overall cost effectiveness.

This explains the dramatic increase in the number of products on which new specifications include environmental testing validation. These advanced requirements now extend beyond medical devices and sophisticated telecommunications equipment, to more basic electronics, automotive parts and many other product areas.

The Hitch:

Many component suppliers do not have environmental test chambers capable of performing these sophisticated tests. Those who do, often have it in R&D applications, which are installations not easily adapted to production line usage.

With mechanical cooling and heating; engineered airflow design; customized controls, and extensive AC voltage upgrades, typical environmental testing rooms are not very flexible in installation, configuration, or costs.

Many environmental test unit manufacturers are more experienced in unit building than environmental controls, which is the "heart" of a good environmental testing room. High initial cost often obviates acquiring additional units to sustain production in event of malfunction, or to allow additional testing.

The Solution:

The growing need for modular, more cost effective environmental testing units and the innovative thinking of Kelles engineers, with decades of experience in environmental controls, has led to the development of the Kelles Modular System (KMS). These new compact, environmental testing systems are capable of the precision of the finest full size environmental testing rooms.

The new KMS product line is modular, expandable and portable allowing unprecedented flexibility in location and configuration. Through the resourceful development work of Kelles engineers, costs of producing this breakthrough product is carefully controlled, allowing the KMS to carry a lower price tag than other units with similar functions (but generally fewer features).

The modest price of the KMS will make feasible the acquisition of multiple environmental testing systems, allowing localized and individualized testing, and generally facilitating greater, more cost effective production.

The Kelles Company is a "value added" manufacturer and vendor that specializes in manufacturing and marketing state-of-the-art, modular and cost effective Environmental Testing (ET) systems and related services. These specialized products and services enable manufacturers of high technology products to test and deliver their products to market faster, safer and more cost effectively than ever before.
