TAT Technologies Ltd. Signs a Letter of Intent

Thursday October 19, 10:21 am ET

GEDERA, Israel, October 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TAT Technologies Limited
(NASDAQ: TATTF - News) announced today that it has signed a letter of intent
with Stork N.V. ("Stork") and its aerospace subsidiary, Fokker Services B.V., to
sell to Stork a controlling interest (51%) in Piedmont Aviation Component
Services LLC ("Piedmont") and a substantial minority interest (49%) in Limco
Airepair, Inc. ("Limco"), both wholly owned subsidiaries of TAT. The projected
price that will be paid to TAT amounts to USD 38.375 million depending on the
successful completion of due diligence activities in the near future.

Piedmont, based in Kernersville, North Carolina, is active in the growing
aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul ('MRO") business. It specializes in
providing MRO services for auxiliary power units, landing gear and propellers
used in many aircraft, including aircraft manufactured by Boeing, ATR, Embraer
and Bombardier. Piedmont employs approximately 130 employees.

Limco, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a leader in the aerospace industry, serving
customers both as an original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") of heat transfer
equipment used in commercial, regional, business and military aircraft and
complete environmental control systems and cooling systems for electronics and
as a MRO repair station for heat transfer equipment and pneumatic ducting. Limco
employs approximately 150 employees.

Stork develops and produces advanced components and systems for the aviation and
aerospace industry, and supplies integrated services and products to aircraft
owners and operators. Stork most recent acquired AIRINC, based in Fairhope,
Alabama. AIRINC provides component repair and overhaul services to aircraft
operators worldwide and specializes in hydraulic, pneumatic and avionic
components installed on a wide variety of aircraft, including Airbus and Boeing.

The Stork aerospace group achieved a turnover of EUR 551 million in 2005 with
3,385 employees out of the total Stork turnover of EUR1.82 billion.

The letter of intent contemplates a closing date early in 2007, after completion
of Stork's due diligence and the execution of a definitive agreement. Upon
completion of the transaction TAT will continue to own a controlling interest in
Limco and a substantial minority interest in Piedmont.

Both parties believe that this transaction will promote meaningful business
development in the future, and that the partnership with Stork will lead to
increased revenues for both Piedmont and Limco.

As a result of this contemplated transaction TAT expects that it will report a
capital gain before taxes of approximately $30 million.

TAT Technologies Ltd. together with its subsidiaries is principally engaged in
the manufacture, repair and overhaul of heat transfer equipment, such as heat
exchangers, precoolers and oil/fuel hydraulic coolers used in aircraft, defense
systems, electronic equipment and other applications. In addition the Company
repairs and overhauls aircraft accessories and systems such as APU's, landing
gear, propellers, pumps and valves.
