TXIC Tongxin International Ltd (CE)

Tongxin International Ltd., (PINKSHEETS: TXIC), a China-based manufacturer of engineered vehicle body structures ("EVBS") and stamped parts for the commercial automotive industry, today announced that it is committing over $5 million USD to expand its current painting capacity at its central operations near Changsha and will introduce stamping capabilities at its plant in Ziyang.

The new painting capacity at Changsha is needed to meet the high demand for Tongxin's medium- and heavy-duty painted truck cabs, which Tongxin produces in over 400 custom variations. As the largest independent supplier of EVBS in China, Tongxin provides over 130 commercial vehicle manufacturers throughout 21 provinces in China, as well as Vietnam and the Middle East, with small, light, medium and heavy truck EVBS parts, including cab-forward and cab-over-engine layouts used throughout the global commercial truck industry. The Company will invest approximately $3 million into this new painting facility, which is expected to be on line by Q3 2010.

The new stamping capability at the Company's Ziyang plant will complement the site's current assembly capability. Previously, stamped parts were shipped from Changsha and assembled in Ziyang. The Ziyang expansion is a progression in the Company's overall plan for this plant and will reduce costs and enhance capacity to meet increased demand for EVBS from Ziyang area customers. The Company is investing approximately $2 million to install the stamping capability.

William E. Zielke, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of the Company, stated, "We are excited to move ahead with these important growth initiatives. Not only are we expanding our business to meet customer demand with this investment, we are effectively leveraging our plant infrastructure to reduce costs and more efficiently serve our broadening customer base."
