            Spectrum Control Acquires Salisbury Engineering, Inc.

    FAIRVIEW, Pa., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spectrum Control, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SPEC), a leading designer and manufacturer of electronic control
products and systems, today announced that it has acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Salisbury Engineering, Inc. ("SEI").
    SEI, a privately-held company in Delmar, Delaware, designs and
manufactures a full line of RF and microwave components and systems used
primarily in military and aerospace applications.  Annual sales for the
company were approximately $4 million in the calendar year 2003.  SEI
currently employs approximately 40 people.
    Dick Southworth, Spectrum Control's President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "With this acquisition, we are significantly expanding our
microwave technology and product offerings.  SEI's current products include
microwave synthesizers, multiple channel filter banks and preselectors, and
GPS low noise amplifiers.  These complex systems incorporate advanced
technologies and significantly expand our microwave capabilities.  In
addition, SEI's microwave component offerings (miniature chip filters, lumped
element filters, band reject filters, cavity filters, and waveguides) are a
natural complement to our existing frequency control product group.  The
expansion of our product offerings, particularly with more complex advanced
systems, is a major element of our current strategic focus and long-term
growth plan," he concluded.
