CIRCUIT COMPONENTS, INC.
ACQUIRES BUS BAR PRODUCT LINE

FROM BUSSCO CORP.

Tempe, AZ, August 22, 2003 - Circuit Components, Inc. (CCI) of Tempe, Arizona, has acquired the bus bar business of Bussco Corporation of Torrance, California. The bus bar product line, now the Bussco Division of CCI, has been moved to CCI's 31,000 sq. ft. plant in Tempe AZ, and the company is working closely with customers and suppliers to ensure a smooth transition so that bus bar needs will not be affected by the move.

Established as an independent company in 1992, CCI is the former Circuit Components Division of Rogers Corporation, and is a leading manufacturer of printed circuit board bus bars and board stiffeners. Most of the management and technical staff of CCI have previous experience in the bus bar industry, with some having pioneered the use of bus bars in computers.

Together with CCI’s technical group the key Bussco sales and technical people who have joined CCI will enable the transferred operation to offer its customers greater depth of technical resources.

The bus bar product line will complement CCI's other electronic component products, which include printed circuit board bus bars and board stiffeners, surge protection (TVSS) devices, and high-frequency interconnections.

Sales inquiries can be addressed to Bob Griffin, Sales Manager, Bussco Division, at 480-731-6286 or bgriffin@cci-msc.com.
