Cetek Technologies Obtains Initial $250,000 Funding POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 1999--Cetek Technologies Inc. (OTC BB:CTKT), manufacturer of advanced structural and electronic ceramics, Monday announced that it has received an initial $250,000 via a private funding, with a letter of intent for an additional $500,000 expected shortly. It is the intention of the company to use this funding package to complete a planned acquisition of a privately held value-added ceramic-product manufacturer. This firm will complement Cetek's ceramic-product technology and position Cetek so that it can fulfill its order backlog more expeditiously based on the added capacity from the acquired company. Cetek produces and markets industrial ceramics for structural and electronic applications including aerospace, bioceramics, insulators and integrated circuit packages. Cetek has been aggressively exploring expansion options and has several acquisition targets identified. It is the company's intention to achieve eligibility for a Nasdaq Small Cap listing this calendar year. In 1996, the Department of Commerce recognized Cetek's exclusive process, which eliminates much of the costly machining, when Cetek was awarded a contract to develop the material for the back plane of the FPD (flat panel display) video technology. In a recent publication of the Industrial Physicist, it was viewed that FPDs could be the next semiconductor-industry breakthrough.
