Princeton Junction, NJ - November 2008 - MISTRAS Group, Inc.
has combined its Inspection Engineering Services and enterprise
PCMS Software resources worldwide in order to create an Asset
Integrity Management Services (
AIMS) Center of Excellence (
COE).

users worldwide. During this time, Jim has focused on understanding the needs for
NDT inspection services,
data cataloguing, reporting and managing for customer compliance codes and governmental needs and

PCMS provides MISTRAS with a tremendous
opportunity to grow the mechanical integrity business line," said Jim Redmon. "Our existing customers have
been asking for this new technology and need help implementing it into their existing inspection programs.
MISTRAS is poised to meet this growing demand, not only in
PCMS Software, but also for trained and certified

PCMS tutelage
and seamless

PCMS for continuous improvement and
customer implementation requests. In his new position we expect Jim to grow
PCMS and
RBI to new levels and
create an organization and staff that deliver exceptional value to our customers."
