GEDERA, ISRAEL – (July 28, 2009) – TAT Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: TATTF) (“TAT”) today announced that it had determined not to go forward with the planned relocation of the operations of its Tulsa, Oklahoma based subsidiary Limco Airepair, Inc. (“ Limco ”) to the location of its Piedmont Aviation Component Services, Inc. subsidiary in Kernersville, North Carolina. The principal reason for this decision was that TAT had received requests from a number of Limco’s significant customers that the operations remain in Tulsa. In addition, unanticipated costs significantly diminished the anticipated savings from the relocation.
