XI'AN, China, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Power Equipment, Inc. ("China Power Equipment," OTC: CPQQ), the manufacturer of a new generation of energy saving electric transformers and transformer cores in the People's Republic of China, today announced that its Chairman, Mr. Yongxing Song, met on September 22, 2009 with the management of Advanced Technology & Materials Co., Ltd. ("AT&M", SZSE:000969), a world-leading high technology enterprise engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of high tech materials and related products.

The two companies discussed a possible sourcing arrangement for AT&M's amorphous alloy that could be used in making China Power Equipment's high- efficiency electric transformer cores and transformers.

Mr. Yongxing Song, Chairman of China Power Equipment, said, "We are very pleased to have been colleagues with AT&M from time to time during the past seven years, dating back from the testing of the first generation of amorphous core transformers. Based on that relationship, I know that AT&M is a remarkable resource, with a history of innovative technology leadership.

"The need to save energy in China, especially by using amorphous alloys to increase the efficiency of electric transformers, will provide the solid foundation for a new strategic sourcing collaboration with AT&M. We believe such a sourcing agreement would further strengthen our relationship, would be mutually beneficial, would accelerate the production of our amorphous alloy transformer cores, and would increase our customers' production of high- efficiency electric transformers that are so much in demand in China.

"This possible sourcing collaboration with AT&M would become a cornerstone for our rapid expansion. It would diversify our amorphous alloy sourcing and make this important material more available and our raw material inventory more predictable. Importantly, the relationship would help to maximize value for our shareholders and improve air quality in China. We have agreed to continue our discussions with AT&M. That possible sourcing collaboration would not reduce the volume we buy from our current amorphous alloy supplier."
