PITTSBURGH, Pa. – January 10, 2012 – RTI International Metals, Inc. (NYSE: RTI) (“RTI”), a global supplier of advanced titanium mill products and fabricated components, today announced that it has entered into a stock purchase agreement under which it will acquire Remmele Engineering, Incorporated (“Remmele”). Remmele, acquired by Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison, Incorporated in 2007, provides precision machining and collaborative engineering, as well as other key technologies and services, for the aerospace and defense and medical device sectors. The acquisition is being financed from the deployment of RTI’s existing cash reserves. It is expected to close before the end of March, 2012 and will be immediately accretive to earnings. The acquisition is expected to accelerate and dramatically transform RTI’s downstream fabrication strategy in the aerospace and defense sector while providing entrance to new contract manufacturing end markets, such as the fast-growing medical device market. Customers of the combined organization will benefit from the complementary strengths of RTI and Remmele as an integrated titanium manufacturer. Remmele's expertise in engineering and precision machining of titanium for the medical device sector is expected to enhance RTI’s aerospace and defense capabilities, and RTI’s titanium manufacturing experience will help broaden the product offering to Remmele’s existing customers, and open the door to serving new customers. “I am pleased to have such a high quality organization become part of RTI. Remmele has a strong reputation among many of our shared aerospace and defense customers and holds the same standing in the medical device market,” said Dawne S. Hickton, Vice Chairman, President, and CEO of RTI.

Remmele Engineering has organized our medical device business into our wholly owned subsidiary REI Medical, Inc. We will use the name Remmele Medical in the marketplace. Our contact information (address, phone, email) otherwise remains the same. This name change reflects another step in our integration of Plant 30 and EL-Tronic into a united business entity. Both facilities will continue to focus on serving our customers’ needs at the high levels they have come to expect. Over the next few months we will transition to using Remmele Medical on our buildings, in documents, in correspondence and in promotional materials.
