National Press Release

HANFORD, Calif., July 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thresher Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets: THRR), a California-based manufacturer of precision recycled aluminum and advanced metal matrix composite parts, today announced it has shipped its second military order of 2009 from Onodi Tool & Engineering Company ("Onodi"). Year-to-date, Thresher has provided a number of quotes for various parts to Onodi, a privately-held manufacturer and assembler serving the United States Government and Tier One combat vehicle manufacturers for over 35 years, based in Melville Michigan.

Commenting on the order, Tom Flessner, President and CEO of Thresher Industries, Inc., said, "Our initial order for Onodi was extremely well received, and quickly led to a second larger order for military parts. This order was shipped within schedule, and is realized as revenues in the second quarter. While other foundries may be reporting lower production levels, Thresher is moving full steam ahead. We are focusing on expanding our key customer relationships like Onodi, as well as attracting new customers that can create a growing and diversified revenue base," said Tom Flessner, President and CEO of Thresher Industries, Inc.

Since 2004, Thresher has helped Onodi and other leading manufacturers successfully meet the mission-critical requirements of the U.S. Military. The lightweight, reinforced strength of Thresher's 100% recycled aluminum castings are safe for the environment and offer distinct operational and cost advantages during military vehicle use. Thresher's parts can help decrease vehicle weight, which in turn lowers fuel costs and increases the vehicle's capacity to integrate heavier armor application for greater protection.
