MEDIA RELEASE

TRIMAS CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICH. — April 30, 2007 — TriMas Corporation today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. On a continuing operations basis, TriMas reported record sales of $286.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $42.0 million, operating profit of $33.3 million and income of $8.4 million or $.40 per share on a fully diluted basis; compared to 2006 first quarter sales of $273.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $37.8 million, operating profit of $28.7 million and income of $4.9 million or $.24 per share on a fully diluted basis.

First Quarter Highlights

TriMas’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Grant Beard, stated, “We are very pleased to report record quarterly sales and yet another quarter of improved profit performance on a year-over-year basis. Sales increased 5%, 4% and 19% in our Packaging Systems, Energy Products and Industrial Specialties segments, respectively. Operating profit increased in all segments except RV & Trailer Products, with Recreational Accessories up 24% and Industrial Specialties up 46% leading the way. Compared to the prior year’s first quarter, earnings per share increased 67% and we continued to reduce debt levels. Against a backdrop of low end market demand in our Recreational Accessories and RV & Trailer Products’ businesses, we are very proud of these accomplishments. Additionally, we completed the sale of our industrial fastener business and no longer have any business units classified as discontinued operations.”

Segment Results — Continuing Operations

Packaging Systems - Sales increased 5.2% as a result of further market penetration of new products. Operating profit increased in line with revenue growth.

Energy Products - Sales increased 4.1% due to continued sales growth in our refinery and petrochemical business, offset by a decline in sales of engine and repair parts as a result of reduced oil and gas drilling activity in Canada. Operating profit improved due to increased sales of specialty gaskets and a more profitable sales mix.

Industrial Specialties - Overall, sales increased 18.9% due to strong market demand and continued market and product expansion in our aerospace fastener, industrial cylinder and defense businesses. Operating profit increased at a significantly higher rate as a result of increasing sales of higher margin products and improved operational leverage.

Segment Results — Continuing Operations (continued)

RV & Trailer Products - Sales declined as a result of continued soft end market demand offset in part by market share gains. Operating profit declined due to lower sales and launch costs associated with a new manufacturing facility in Thailand.

Recreational Accessories - Sales increased as a result of capturing new business offset in part by continued weak end-market demand. Operating profit improved compared to the prior year’s first quarter as a result of realizing the full benefit of sourcing initiatives and other cost reduction activities implemented throughout 2006.

Financial Position

TriMas ended the quarter with total debt of $723.5 million and funding under our receivables securitization of $44.4 million for a total of $767.9 million. Total debt and receivables securitization decreased by $11.0 million when compared to the year ago period. TriMas ended the quarter with cash of $3.9 million and $88.9 million of availability under our existing credit facilities.
