Miller Industries Announces New Recovery Unit Order

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 24, 2010 - Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLR) ("the Company") today announced its subsidiary, Miller Industries Towing Equipment Inc., has been awarded orders to manufacture 250 recovery units for a prime contractor under a government-related order.  These orders are scheduled to be delivered through the spring of 2011.  

An accelerated delivery schedule is anticipated due to the need to quickly recover damaged vehicles in the field of operations.  To complete these orders in the specified timeframe, the Company will suspend production on other government-related contracts in late 2010 until these new orders are completed.  As a result, the Company now expects that orders under its other government-related contracts will continue through the fourth quarter of 2011.  The Company does not expect any of its government-related orders to impact its commercial production schedule.

Jeffrey I. Badgley, President and Co-CEO of the Company, stated, "We are pleased to have been awarded these orders, which we believe demonstrate the quality and adaptability of our commercial product offering, the flexibility of our production facilities and our ability to meet tight customer deadlines.  The experience and strength of our engineering and production teams position us well to develop innovative products for our customers, and we will continue to seek orders of this kind going forward."

Miller Industries is the world's largest manufacturer of towing and recovery equipment, and markets its towing and recovery equipment under a number of well-recognized brands, including Century, Vulcan, Chevron, Holmes, Challenger, Champion, Jige, Boniface and Eagle.
