Activates Stock Buyback Program

Fairview, PA, January 10, 2008 --- Spectrum Control, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPEC), a leading designer and manufacturer of electronic control products and systems, today reiterated its positive outlook for fiscal year 2008.

Dick Southworth, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our business outlook for fiscal year 2008 remains very positive, as we expect to build upon our record 2007 financial performance. In fiscal 2008, we anticipate generating double digit organic growth in sales, while further improving our operating margins with cost reductions, consolidations, and leverage of our fixed manufacturing overhead. In addition to this expected organic growth, we will continue to identify and evaluate opportunities for new business acquisitions. For the last seven consecutive quarters, we have reported earnings in excess of the comparable prior period. Although individual quarterly performance may fluctuate based upon short-term order patterns and market changes, we expect to continue this trend of generating higher quarterly earnings throughout fiscal 2008.”

Mr. Southworth continued, “We are also activating our stock buyback program. Under this program, which was previously approved by our Board of Directors, Management has been authorized to buyback on the open market up to $2.4 million of the Company’s Common Stock. The amount and timing of the actual purchases will be determined based upon Management’s ongoing evaluation of the Company’s stock price, liquidity, and other relevant factors. We believe the activation of our stock buyback program is a positive reflection of our future business outlook and strong financial position.”
