HIGHWAY HOLDINGS RECEIVES NEW OEM ORDER FROM COLEMAN
 

 
HONG KONG — October 22, 2007 — Highway Holdings Limited (Nasdaq:HIHO) today announced it has received an initial order for 50,000 battery-operated air pumps from The Coleman Company, Inc., located in Wichita, Kansas. Terms were not disclosed.
 
This order follows the receipt of a tooling order in June. As previously announced, Highway Holdings commenced its OEM relationship with Coleman early in 2007 with an initial order to produce radio units for another Coleman product line. The air pumps are being produced at the company’s Golden Bright Plastic Manufacturing subsidiary, an operation acquired by Highway Holding in September 2006.
 
“This new OEM order highlights management’s focus on expanding its U.S. customer base and effectively demonstrates to current and perspective customers the company’s diverse manufacturing capabilities and quality. We are gratified by the confidence of Coleman and look forward to supplying higher production volume for the air pump, as well as additional business opportunities,” said Roland Kohl, president and chief executive officer.
