Flotation Technologies Welcomes U.S. Senator Susan Collins
Senator's Visit Focuses On Company’s Rapid Growth and Expansion
BIDDEFORD, Maine - Sept. 11, 2008 - Flotation Technologies, Inc., a Deep Down Inc. company (OTCBB: DPDW) and a world leader in the engineering, design and manufacturing of deepwater buoyancy and polyurethane elastomer products, today announced that United States Senator Susan Collins toured its manufacturing facility and met with the management team. The Senator congratulated the company on being one of the fastest growing companies in Maine with its dramatic growth over the past few years including a new manufacturing facility and hiring first-rate employees.

"Offshore drilling, oceanographic exploration and global warming research are important topics in the world today and I am excited to see that one of the key industry players is located right here in Maine," said Senator Collins. "Since receiving the prestigious Manufacturing Extension Partnership's (MEP) Manufacturing Excellence Award in 2007, Flotation Technologies has proven its superior manufacturing practices and dedication to continuous improvement. Maine is fortunate to have a company of this caliber with direct ties to these pivotal issues."

"We are honored that Senator Collins took the time to visit Flotation Technologies. The Senator was well received by the management team and employees who provided her with a brief overview of our company," explained David Capotosto, president, Flotation Technologies. "Recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in both Maine and the industries the company serves, Flotation Technologies has received increased market interest over the past few years due to it being one of the only U.S.-based manufacturers of the products it produces and its ability to address the growing needs within these market segments."
