Pro-Dex, Inc. Names Gary G. Garleb Divisional President of Oregon Micro Systems, Inc.

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 6, 2002--Pro-Dex, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDEX - news) today announced the appointment of Gary G. Garleb as Divisional President of the Company's Oregon Micro Systems, Inc. division.

Ronald G. Coss, Chairman of Pro-Dex stated, ``When we acquired Oregon Micro Systems in 1995, Gary was put in charge of what was then essentially a one man operation with limited technology. He has developed a well managed company with new technology to lead us into what we believe is a coming era of rapid growth in our core competencies in sophisticated motion control.''

Gary G. Garleb, 60, joined Oregon Micro Systems in July 1995 as Vice President and General Manager of the division. From 1974 - 1995 he served in several senior level positions including, Vice President of Manufacturing, Vice President of Operations and General Manager of Pro-Dex's Micro Motors division, Santa Ana, California. Previously, he was employed in various capacities by Kaiser Aerospace and Electronics, Whittaker Corporation and Fulton Iron Works.

Mr. Garleb stated, ``During this recession OMS is investing heavily in R&D and our channels to market. March 2002 will mark a new era for OMS as it introduces its new ''MAX`` family of Servo and Stepper motion controllers. These new products are revolutionary in design concept and performance and will enable OMS to breach the $260M Servo controller market.''

Mr. Garleb continued, ``During this fiscal year, OMS is also strengthening its channels to market. OMS' High Technology Distributors (HTDs) are being consolidated into key performers. Resources will be invested into these distributors, ensuring OMS' products are brought to our customers and potential customers with a timely and professional presentation.''

Mr. Garleb concluded, ``OMS has enjoyed a long and successful history serving the Stepper controller markets. The company feels that with its new product lines, which are adaptable to a broader range of applications, and streamlining of our HTD's channels to market we can double our revenues over the next five years.''
