Topro, Inc.                                  For release:
2525 Evans Ave.                              June 26, 1997
Denver, CO 80219    

               TOPRO, INC. LAUNCHES NEW INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE 
           COMPREHENSIVE PLANT FLOOR YEAR 2000 SOLUTION AND SERVICES


June 26, 1997 - DENVER, CO - Topro, Inc. (NASDAQ-TPRO), a leading provider of 
automation and system integration solutions to industry, today announced the 
launching of a major new business initiative based on its new product 
PLANTY2K One-TM-, a proprietary package of product and services designed to 
address year 2000 compliance problems in process control and factory floor 
automation systems. 

John Jenkins, Topro, Inc. CEO said "While the year 2000 or millennium problem 
is being addressed at the management information system level in most 
organizations, we believe the plant floor issues have largely been ignored to 
date.  These issues are very real and have potential for severe impact if not 
addressed."

PLANTY2K One-TM- is a full service offering that includes impact assessment, 
analysis, code conversion, implementation and testing.  The company employs 
highly structured methodologies in all phases and includes well-accepted 
joint application development techniques in the conversion and implementation 
phases.

According to Jenkins, "Most plant floor systems are complex combinations of 
hardware and software from a variety of vendors.  We have found that many of 
these components have some sort of compliance issue.  Further, a compliance 
problem with a single component and a corresponding solution must be 
considered in the context of the impact of the total system, which means that 
a system control integrator is the logical choice to effect the required 
comprehensive solution."  He added, "We believe this to be a very large 
opportunity for our organization, as far as we can tell, we are the only 
organization that has developed a solution specifically designed for the 
plant floor."

While a key ingredient of the product is the company's data base of known 
plant floor hardware and software year 2000 compliance problems and the 
associated solutions, of equal importance is the size and experience of the 
company's staff. 

                                     3


The company plans initially to take PLANTY2K One-TM- to its installed 
customer base of more than 4000 sites across the U.S. but will quickly extend 
to a full national roll-out.  Topro, Inc. has branch offices in Portland, 
Ore., Los Angeles, Sacramento, Phoenix, Denver, Atlanta and Philadelphia and 
will have intra-net access to the central solution database, offering 
customers the desired combination of local service supported by a database, 
created on and constantly refreshed by national experience.  The company is 
already engaged in PLANTY2K One-TM- projects at several Fortune 500 companies.

The company plans initially to support PLANTY2K One-TM- with its own staff, 
key portions of the product have been designed to allow potential licensed 
use directly by customers or other trained third party system integrators 
with internet support by the company's designated technology center.

Topro, Inc. and its subsidiaries form the nation's largest independent 
process control and information system integrator.  The company has more the 
350 employees in 10 offices across the United States and develops integrated 
process control systems for companies in aerospace, automobiles, consumer 
goods, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and public utilities.
