New Agreements Solidify Existing Business Relationship

HOUSTON, June 29, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ENGlobal (Nasdaq:ENG), a leading provider of energy-related project delivery solutions, announced today that it has been awarded two projects from Lucite International, Inc. ("Lucite"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd. (3404:JP), to provide engineering and project management services at Lucite's Beaumont, TX chemical facility.

Lucite is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd. and together they are the world's leading supplier of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA), the main building block of acrylic.

Lucite has awarded ENGlobal two engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts. 

1. Pursuant to the first of the two EPC contracts, ENGlobal will provide engineering, procurement and construction services to Lucite relating to the addition of Methacrylic Acid (MAA) manufacturing capability into Lucite's existing Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) production facility.  
    
2. In addition to the MAA/MMA facility contract, Lucite has commissioned ENGlobal to provide engineering, procurement and construction services to Lucite relating to the production of a key building block and precursor to the manufacturing of Methacrylates.
