Nortech Systems to Close Facility in Garner, Iowa

MINNEAPOLIS — June 4, 2009 — Nortech Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: NSYS) announced today that it will close its electronics manufacturing services (EMS) facility in Garner, Iowa, by early August 2009.

“This was a very difficult decision for everyone involved, but a necessary decision aimed at maximizing our efficiency and reducing expenses,” said Mike Degen, president and CEO of Nortech Systems.  “To help ensure our company’s long-term health and viability, we are committed to aligning our cost structure with customer demand.”

The three primary market segments served by Nortech Systems — aerospace/defense, medical and industrial — all have been impacted by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions.  The customer base served by the Garner facility was heavily weighted with industrial customers, the segment where Nortech is seeing the weakest demand.

The closure will impact 57 hourly and salaried employees.  Nortech will consolidate its EMS operations at its facility in Merrifield, Minn.

Nortech Systems purchased the Garner facility from Suntron Corporation in February 2007.  Nortech’s other manufacturing operations are located in Baxter, Bemidji, Blue Earth, Fairmont and Merrifield, Minnesota; Augusta, Wisconsin; and Monterrey, Mexico.
