LOS ANGELES, March 15, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- New Century Companies, Inc. (the "company") (OTCBB:NCNC) closes orders of $1,100,000 for several machines in the following industries: Energy, Aviation and Oil & Gas.
David Duquette CEO stated, "manufacturing is improving in all business sectors as reflected by our strong quotation activity. Mr. Duquette further stated that 2004 is very bullish for us for the following reasons. All of our Japanese competitors have stopped bringing machines to the US for inventory and most of their new deliveries quoted are 8 to 9 months. Surging steel prices and strong foreign currencies make New Century machines more competitive than ever."
