Exhibit 99.1

EDAC TECHNOLOGIES Reports Third Quarter Results.

FARMINGTON, Conn., October 27, 2009 – EDAC Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: EDAC), a designer and manufacturer of jet engine components, tools, fixtures, injection molds and spindles, today reported results for the third quarter of 2009.

Sales for the third quarter of 2009 were $15,132,000 and net income was $80,000 or $0.02 per diluted share, versus sales of $10,547,000 and net income of $255,000 or $0.05 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2008.

For the nine months ended October 3, 2009, sales were $38,345,000 and net income was $7,513,000 or $1.53 per diluted share versus sales of $32,577,000 and net income of $1,418,000 or $0.28 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 27, 2008.

Dominick A. Pagano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our results include the operations of our EDAC Aero acquisition since May 27th. EDAC Aero contributed sales of $5,386,000 for the third quarter and $7,755,000 since the acquisition date. Among its domestic and international aerospace customers, EDAC Aero continues as a supplier to MTU Aero Engines in Germany. The third quarter was a challenging one for our other operations. Organically, our sales decreased by $1,514,000 from the second quarter of 2009 due to the down turn in the aerospace and machine tool product lines. Results were further impacted by costs associated with the development of new components for the JSF-135 and other emerging engine programs.”

“We also acquired substantially all of the assets of Service Network Incorporated, a manufacturer and rebuilder of precision grinders, as previously announced on August 10th. The new product lines and technologies represent a strategic acquisition that will further broaden our Spindle product line.”

As previously announced, EDAC acquired the assets of the manufacturing unit of MTU AENA, located in Newington, Connecticut on May 27, 2009. Operating now as EDAC Aero, the new operation primarily manufactures rotating components such as disks, rings and shafts for the aerospace industry. As prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles, the net assets acquired were recorded at fair value, which exceeded the purchase price by approximately $11,600,000 and has been reflected as a gain in other income in the financial statements.

Pagano added, “To date the EDAC Aero transaction has been accretive to our earnings per share and we fully expect that it will continue to be accretive. It is consistent with our long term strategic plan of incorporating growth through organic operations and acquisitions. The new product lines, customers and technologies have complemented our existing business, and will provide us with a platform to further leverage our assets and resources to enhance shareholder value.”

“As always, our strategy is to pursue those long-term opportunities by investing in skilled personnel and state-of-the-art machinery and equipment, and committing to continuous improvement throughout our organization. We will incur costs in the short-term, but in the long-term we believe this will build the financial and operating strength of our company, to the benefit of our shareholders.”
