For Immediate Release

Cirris Systems Corp, Salt Lake City, UT announces the purchase of OmniTester Corp. of Westampton, NJ. Both Cirris and OmniTester manufacture cable, harness and backplane testers used by electronic manufacturing companies worldwide. 'We have known Omni as a respected competitor for the 22 years we've been in this industry' stated Marlin Shelley, President of Cirris. 'When we heard of their decision to cease operations we felt that acquiring them made sense, both for us and for their customers.' Brent Stringham, Cirris' director of sales, stated 'although we won't be building or selling any new Omni testers, we will service existing products where we can, and will provide a transition path for Omni's customers into new Cirris products, possibly even offering trade-in value on old Omni units'.

As part of the transaction Ray Mumma, sales manager at OmniTester Corp., has joined Cirris System's sales and customer support team. 'Initially, Ray will primarily focus on taking care of existing Omni customers said Mr. Stringham, however long-term we see him as a valuable addition to our sales group.' Ray has over ten years of experience selling cable and harness testers with OmniTester Corp.

Cirris manufactures a complete line of cable, harness and backplane testers, with over 25,000 systems in use at more than 5000 customers worldwide. Cirris offers both low and high voltage bench top cable testers that test from 64 to 1024 test points.
