BRASHEAR LP ANNOUNCES NEW CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER
 

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 2, 2002: Brashear LP today announces that Jim Stevenson will lead the Customer Service Department. Stevenson joins Brashear with a wealth of experience in customer service and business development. As the new Customer Service Manager, Stevenson will support Brashear's current and future business customers by providing field service, after sales support, and spares, repairs and upgrades.

Stevenson's customer list has the United States Ranges at the top. Over the past 20 years, Brashear has supplied over 100 optical tracking systems to ranges such as White Sands Missile Range, Edwards AFB, Dugway Proving Ground, and Vandenburg AFB. In 2002, Brashear developed two KTM upgrades to allow the ranges a smooth transition to the latest technology available. The Digital/Servo Power Amplifier Chassis (DSPA) and the Digital Control System (DCS) has the latest technology to provide greater dynamic performance and higher accuracy while reducing jitter.

"Jim is superbly qualified to shape our Customer Service Department into a highly competitive and responsive team and to deliver reliable services to our marketplace," said Dawn Rucker chief operating officer of Brashear LP. "His broad background and technical skills are a perfect match for Brashear, and he hits the ground running with a deep understanding of the importance of being responsive to customers and the strength and the full potential it will bring to Brashear."

"I'm delighted to lead the Brashear Customer Service Department as it moves into its next phase," Stevenson said. "The opportunity afforded by Brashear to lead the field service, repairs, and upgrade business is an excellent fit with my skills and interests. I am excited about the potential to extend the reach of Brashear's reliability and service." Stevenson will be at the Optical Systems Group (OSG) meeting in November 2002 to meet and greet.

Prior to joining Brashear LP, Stevenson was the sales manager for Pinnacle Electronics and engineering/sales manager for Compunetics' Engineering Services Division. He holds a bachelors degree in electrical engineering from Gannon University. Stevenson can be reached at 412-967-7996 or via e-mail at jstevenson@brashearlp.com.
