Attn:  Our valued customers                              Date:  12/23/09

We are pleased to announce our recent acquisition of the Concord Steel operations in Warren, OH and Chicago Heights, IL.  We are very excited about this expansion and our commitment and dedication to the counterweight industry as a whole.  LB Steel is a privately held company based on good business principles with a long history of loyal employees and building lasting business relationships with our customers.

The Concord Steel name will continue for these two locations.  As our valued customer, you will now have access to our full line machine shop and fabrication services that further complement our product line. 

We are in the final stages of this transition and will be contacting you soon with more updates in the beginning of January 2010.  All of us wish you Happy Holidays and a prosperous year in 2010 and beyond.

Best regards,

Michael Goich
President
LB Steel LLC
