Exhibit 99.1

Grapevine, Texas – January 11, 2008 – American Locker Group Incorporated (OTC: ALGI.PK) ( “American Locker” or the “Company”) announced today that Edward F. Ruttenberg, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and President has notified that Company that, effective January 31, 2008, he will retire as an officer of the Company.  Mr. Ruttenberg will continue to serve as a Director of the Company. In addition, he has also agreed to enter into a short-term consulting arrangement with the Company.

Mr. Ruttenberg stated that his retirement would allow him to focus on other business interests that require an increasing percentage of his time but that his continuing role as a Director of the Company and as a consultant, would allow him to continue to contribute to the Company’s future.

Mr. Ruttenberg stated that, “During the last two years, we have made substantial progress at the Company: we have relocated to our Grapevine, Texas headquarters; we have implemented new financial and accounting controls and lean manufacturing processes; we have established a new credit facility; and we have completed our annual audits and made substantial progress towards becoming current in our securities filings.  Given these achievements, and the fact that I have other business interests that require my more active involvement, I believe it is time for me to relinquish day-to-day operating responsibility at the Company.”

In connection with this announcement, the Company announced that John Harris, who is currently a director of the Company, had been appointed as non-executive Chairman of the Board, Allen D. Tilley, who is also a director of the Company, had been appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Paul Zaidins, who is Chief Financial Officer of the Company, had been appointed as President and

Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Zaidins will continue to perform his duties as Chief Financial Officer.

As President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Zaidins will have day-to-day operating responsibility for the Company.  Prior to joining the Company in 2006, Mr. Zaidins was Managing Director of Lane-Link Group, an investment banking firm.

John Harris, the newly appointed non-executive Chairman of the Board, stated, “Paul Zaidins is the ideal person to lead American Locker Group at this time. His seasoned business judgment and strong financial background will enable him to lead the Company effectively as it seeks to expand its product offerings and market penetration while managing costs. The Company is fortunate to have a member of its existing management team who is so well-versed in the challenges facing the Company and in the Company’s core strengths, and who can step into this important leadership role without delay.”

Mr. Harris added, “The Company and its stockholders have benefited greatly from the wisdom and judgment of Ed Ruttenberg, during his tenure as President and Chief Executive Officer. We wish him great success and are grateful that he has agreed to continue to serve as a Director.”
