Exhibit 99.1

Allied Motion Achieves Record Profits and Revenues for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2008

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: AMOT) today announced it achieved a 188% increase in net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 with net income of $1,001,000 or $.13 per diluted share compared to $347,000 or $.05 per diluted share for the same period last year. Revenues for the second quarter increased 15% to $23,549,000 compared to $20,405,000 last year. Backlog at June 30, 2008 was $32,346,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company achieved an increase of over 81% in net income with net income of $1,925,000 or $.26 per diluted share compared to net income of $1,062,000 or $.15 per diluted share for the same six months last year. Revenues for the first six months this year were $46,861,000 compared to $42,391,000 for the same period last year, or a 10.5% increase.

The Company also announced that it has been added to the Russell Microcap Index after the Russell Investment Group reconstituted its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes on June 27, 2008. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for both index funds and as benchmarks for passive and active investment strategies. The Russell Microcap Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the U.S. equity market.

“We are very pleased to report that the profit and revenues achieved this quarter are both the highest quarterly profit and revenues we have achieved since the Company was restructured in July 2002,” commented Dick Smith, CEO of Allied Motion. “Our improvement in profit was driven this quarter by higher sales and higher gross profit margins which improved to 27% from 22% last year. Our 15% increase in revenues resulted from a 23% increase in sales into our aerospace and defense, medical, distribution and certain markets in our industrial and electronics market segments such as the pumps and instruments markets partially offset by an 8% downturn in recreation related markets such as RVs and marine markets. The improvement in our gross margins resulted from an improved mix of higher margin sales as well as cost improvements we are realizing from improved efficiencies and lower cost manufacturing we continue to realize from our increased production and sourcing of product from our contract manufacturing facility in China. Also contributing to our profit improvement was lower interest costs of $145,000 reflecting a reduction in outstanding debt and lower borrowing costs. We continue to execute our strategy that is building the foundation necessary to achieve our long-term goals for growth in sales and profitability, as well as to facilitate our continued expansion into the motion control industry. We are also pleased with our inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index, which reflects our continued positive momentum,” added Dick Smith. “Russell is an industry leader for stock indexes, and we expect our inclusion will enhance our visibility among institutional investors.”

Dick Warzala, President of Allied Motion, added, “Due to the broad diversification we have established in our customer base, our current quarter results reflect Allied Motion’s ability to weather short term downturns in specific markets, e.g., housing, construction and RV’s. Our many new design wins and a strong pipeline of new applications and products continues to bode well for our future prospects. As always, we remain committed to our strategy and our operations remain focused on supporting our customers through continuous improvements in Quality, Delivery, Innovation and Cost. Allied Systematic Tools (AST) implementation, Low Cost Region (LCR) ramp up, Innovative New Product Development and our Six Sigma initiatives are the key drivers to our success. I am also pleased to report the addition of several new employees this past quarter. These additions will enhance our growth opportunities in the future and provide our customers with “Motion Solutions That Raise The Bar”.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Allied Motion designs, manufactures and sells motion control products into applications that serve many industry sectors. Allied Motion is a leading supplier of precision and specialty motion control components and systems to a broad spectrum of customers throughout the world.
