Davis Calibration Services Gets New CEO

BALTIMORE, MD, Aug 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
The Board of Directors of Davis Calibration Services announced today the
appointment of Mark Rohde, Sr., as Davis' new Chief Executive Officer
(CEO).

Rohde, a Vice President with JPB Enterprises, Inc. ("JPBE"), most recently
served as President and CEO of Motif Design, a Tempe, Arizona-based
commercial interior design and fabrication firm that had been acquired by
JPBE in February of this year. Mark served as Motif's interim CEO to
implement and support JPBE's strategic growth plan while the investment
firm searched for a permanent CEO. Prior to joining JPBE, Rohde most
recently served as President and COO of EMG, a Hunt Valley, Maryland-based
national commercial real estate due diligence firm specializing in
environmental, architectural, and engineering assessments. Prior to that
time, he served as CEO of Network Building and Consulting, a Linthicum,
Maryland firm specializing in cell tower and asset management solutions.
His earlier career experiences ranged from President, Communications
Solutions Group (Convergys Information Management), to Director of
Business Development, Martin Marietta Information and Communications, and
included various sales and marketing positions with AT&T. He was
graduated by Loyola College with a B.A. Degree in mathematics and
received his MBA Degree from Loyola College as well.

"We are delighted to have Mark lead Davis in the execution of its
continued growth and expansion strategy," said J.P. Bolduc, Chairman of
the Company. "His demonstrated ability to achieve top and bottom line
results, together with his proven record of leadership in creating strong
customer loyalties and building excellent (and highly motivated) employee
teams will serve Davis, its employees and shareholders to advantage going
forward."

"To be given the opportunity to lead Davis -- a Company with a
distinguished history since 1912 of customer satisfaction -- which today,
through its 30 regional laboratory facilities, is the largest third-party
provider of world-class instrument calibration and related services in the
U.S. is an exciting opportunity, and one that I welcome and one in which
we will excel to the benefit of all stakeholders," said Mark Rohde.

Lee Rudow, who has served as Davis' CEO since JPB Enterprises acquired the
Company in December 1999, has decided to leave the Company. In departing,
Rudow said, "I leave behind a Company rich in tradition and well
positioned for continued growth and global expansion."
