OLATHE, Kan., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elecsys Corporation (Nasdaq:
ESYS) announced today that it has signed an Electronic Design and
Manufacturing Services Agreement with Reinke Manufacturing Company, Inc. of
Deshler, Nebraska, which has a reputation for manufacturing reliable, high
quality equipment used in the agricultural and transportation markets.

Under terms of the Agreement, Elecsys will become Reinke's dedicated partner
for manufacturing electronic devices used in Reinke's innovative irrigation
systems. During the past 12 months, Reinke purchased in excess of $1 million
of these electronic assemblies from several different manufacturers. This
Agreement allows Reinke to consolidate the manufacturing of many of its
products to one source, as new designs are introduced and its business
continues to expand worldwide.

In addition, Elecsys will provide design engineering services to assist
Reinke's engineering team as Reinke seeks to develop new technologies for its
line of precision agriculture products that are recognized for their
capability to perform under the toughest conditions.

Karl Gemperli, Elecsys president and chief executive officer, stated, "We are
very pleased to announce this new relationship with Reinke and believe we will
form an enduring business and technology partnership that will benefit both
organizations. Our design expertise, manufacturing capabilities and customer
support services seamlessly align with Reinke's strategic supplier
requirements."

Gemperli continued, "We have already begun the integration of new assemblies
into our production system and initiated work on several new design projects
that should move into production in the near future. Adding Reinke as a
business partner expands our penetration into the global agriculture market
and further diversifies our customer base."

Chris Roth, Reinke president, added, "After our team met with the Elecsys
engineering and manufacturing staff and toured their facility, we knew this
would be an ideal fit with our long-term strategy and specific engineering and
manufacturing needs. To continue to grow our business, we needed a supplier
that could support our advanced engineering vision as well as our high quality
production requirements."

Founded in 1954, Reinke Manufacturing Company is one of the world's oldest and
largest manufacturers of center pivot and lateral move irrigation systems for
use in the agriculture and processed water industries. Reinke also
manufactures intermodal container chassis, over the road aluminum flatbeds and
