Advanced Enabling Materials products, today announced the
successful renegotiation of its collective bargaining agreement
with The International Brotherhood of Teamsters. This contract was
set to expire on April 15, 2007. The negotiations resulted in a new
6-year contract which expires on April 14, 2013. Jack Jenson, CEO
of Elmet Technologies stated, �We are extremely pleased to have

covers all of Elmet�s union employees. The new terms represent a
fair and balanced agreement for both the company and our employees.
With the renegotiation behind us, our skilled and dedicated
workforce is well positioned to continue to focus on the growth of
the company.� On October 17, 2006, Elmet Technologies announced
that it had signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by
publicly traded Harbor Acquisition Corporation (AMEX: HAC, HAC-U,
HAC-WT) (�Harbor�). Following consummation of the acquisition,
Elmet�s current management team, led by Jack Jensen, CEO, will
continue to lead the organization and the combined company will
change its name to Elmet Technologies Holdings, Inc. About Elmet
