SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. Expects to Mitigate Impact From Customer Notification


COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - January 27, 2011) - SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. ("SCI" or "Company") (OTCBB: SCIA), develops and commercializes technologies and manufactures ceramics and metals for advanced applications in the physical vapor deposition industry. SCI announced today it has been notified by one of its large customers that their orders for 2011 will be reduced due to a manufacturing plant closing. 

The Company's 2011 plans include increased sales of solar products, especially its innovative transparent conductive oxide systems for the solar industry. The anticipated sales growth is based on revenue from new customers, current product trials being converted into production orders, and increased bookings from core customers in other markets. SCI expects that sales to these customers will offset the revenue effect of this notification.
