                   ("Avingtrans", "Group" or "the Company")                    

                       Acquisition of Aerotech Tubes Ltd                       

Avingtrans plc, which designs, manufactures and supplies critical components
and associated services to the global aerospace, energy, and medical sectors,
announces that it has acquired Aerotech Tubes Ltd ("Aerotech") to expand
Avingtrans' Aerospace Division for a cash consideration of £2 million.
Furthermore, the Company is pleased to have secured a new long term agreement,
valued currently at £2 million per annum, over the next ten years, with an
existing Aerotech customer.

Based in Derby, Aerotech manufactures pipe assemblies and manifolds for leading
tier-1 customers in the aero-engine industry. Aerotech, which employs 10
people, reported revenue of £2.36 million* and an adjusted operating profit of
£0.46 million* (being £0.25 million* before certain costs which are not
expected to recur) for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Mark Johnson, Managing Director of Avingtrans' Aerospace division commented:

"Aerotech is another excellent addition that will add further capability to our
pipes and manifold business. The contracts we have agreed are on major
aerospace programmes and provide visibility on revenues whilst also helping to
cement our customer relationships.

"This is the second acquisition since the £13.45 million sale of our Jena Tec
business and we are delighted that we've since been able to add two quality
businesses to the Aerospace division for a total of £3.85 million in such a
short space of time. We look forward to bedding in these two businesses and
remain alert to further opportunities."
