XLI Corporation
Breaks Ground for New Facility

(Rochester, New York) Mr. Peter Schott, President of XLI Corporation, today announced that groundbreaking ceremonies were held on Thursday October 21, 2004 for the construction of a new 32,000 square foot corporate headquarters and manufacturing operations center at 55 Vanguard Parkway in the city of Rochester, NY. The four acre site, formerly a "brownfield" with no development, will be revitalized by the project and provide room for future expansion. The new facility, which will be located in an Empire Zone, is expected to open in the third quarter of 2004.

Rochester Mayor William A. Johnson, Jr., the keynote speaker for the event, recognized XLI Corporation's decision to remain in the city and expand operations here. He also spotlighted the cooperation among city, county, and corporate sectors that helped make the expansion possible.

For more than three decades, XLI Corporation has provided precision manufacturing services for the nation’s leading suppliers of equipment for circuit board insertion, digital imaging and printing, manufacturing automation, medical diagnostics, office automation, process control, and telecommunications. The company has recently expanded its capabilities for prismatic machining, rotational machining, sheet metal fabrication, assembly and test services, and design services to better assist customers that are trying to compete in today's global economy. These capabilities will be further expanded with new equipment and personnel at the new facility.
