SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 20, 2008 -- Industrial services provider MISCOR Group, Ltd. (BULLETIN BOARD: MIGL) today announced it has named Frank Larkin as Executive Vice President for American Motive Power, Inc. (AMP) part of MISCOR's industry-leading Repair, Remanufacturing and Manufacturing Division (RRM). Larkin brings more than 30 years of mechanical and operational experience to his new role at MISCOR.

"I am very excited about the addition of Frank to our team, and I look forward to the positive impact that he will have on the MISCOR railroad business," said Richard Tamborski, MISCOR's Executive Vice President and COO. "With deep experience in both freight and passenger rail, his broad knowledge base will play a key role in improving AMP's operational performance and customer development."

Larkin most recently served as Vice President and General Manager of Locomotive Services at Progress Rail, a Caterpillar Company, where he was responsible for overall locomotive operations, including management of the Company's locomotive repair facilities. Larkin has also held leadership roles with Metro East Industries and Boise Locomotive.

AMP provides services to repair and remanufacture locomotives and diesel engines for the rail industry from its 250,000-square-foot facility based in Dansville, New York, whose capacity enables AMP to service up to 20 locomotives simultaneously. AMP was acquired by MISCOR in January 2008.

"Frank's global experience as a railway executive is a welcome addition to our management team," said John Martell, President and CEO of MISCOR. "His technical and operational knowledge along with his leadership ability will be immediately beneficial to our business and customers as we continue to solidify MISCOR's position as a leader in the rail industry."
