LOS ANGELES, CA, Dec 28, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- MATECH Corp. (OTCBB: MTCH) (MATECH) is pleased to announce that Company expects to benefit from a substantial increase in federal spending focused on job creation through infrastructure development among other initiatives recently proposed by President Obama.

New highway and bridge construction and other infrastructure development projects would comprise a significant portion of this new spending initiative along with a focus on other potential job-generating programs such as small business tax cuts and retrofitting millions of homes to be more energy-efficient.

Using its revolutionary Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) System, the only nondestructive technology capable of detecting growing cracks as small as 0.01 inches, MATECH expects to significantly benefit from the proposed increase in federal stimulus towards infrastructure development and maintenance projects. MATECH's Sensor EFS System has proven its efficacy on over 40 bridges in 10 different states and on railroads across the nation.

"President Obama has repeatedly called for using federal spending to secure the nation's infrastructure as a means of job creation and improving the economy," said Robert M. Bernstein, Co-CEO of MATECH. "Should these additional measures be taken, we anticipate that MATECH and our effort to secure the nation's infrastructure will benefit enormously."

MATECH has a proven track record of saving bridge owners money through improving bridge management and public safety with its cutting-edge EFS System. Through eliminating subjectivity of inspections for cracking in bridge members (the FHWA has stated that 90% of these cracks are missed with the usual visual inspections), MATECH is helping to eliminate wasted funds by prioritizing repairs and verifying their effectiveness immediately.

MATECH Corporation engages in the research and development of metal fatigue detection, measurement, and monitoring technologies in the United States and internationally. The company develops devices and systems that indicate the true status of fatigue damage in a metal component. It produces Fatigue Fuse, a device that integrates the effect of fatigue loading in a structural member. The Fatigue Fuse is designed to be affixed to a structure to give warnings at pre-selected percentages of the fatigue life that has been used up. It also develops Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor, an instrument that detects very small growing fatigue cracks in metals. MATECH Corporation’s technology is applicable to various market sectors, such as bridges and aerospace, as well as ships, cranes, railways, power plants, nuclear facilities, chemical plants, mining equipment, piping systems, and heavy iron. The company was formerly known as Material Technologies, Inc and changed its name to MATECH Corporation in October 2008. MATECH Corporation was founded in 1983 and is based in Los Angeles, California.
