Cycle Country Contracts with AFS Logistics; Improved efficiencies to cut inbound/outbound freight costs by over 20 percent


MILFORD, Iowa, Nov. 4, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (AMEX:ATC), the outright leader in developing and manufacturing select custom-fitting accessories for the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and other diversified industry products, has contracted with AFS Logistics to implement a logistics management program to more efficiently ship the company's products. The program will leverage AFS Logistics' buying power for partial load shipments that are currently handled by common carriers.

Increasing demand for Cycle Country's industry-leading snowplows and other ATV attachments gave the company the scale necessary to benefit from professional logistics planners. The agreement should allow for the most efficient use of its own trucking fleet, while reducing the impact of small-order shipments. In addition to streamlining and reducing costs on the company's outbound shipments, the AFS contract will also result in inbound freight cost reductions which are expected to lower input costs.

"We continue to be focused on maximizing shareholder value along with customer satisfaction," says Ron Hickman, President and CEO of Cycle Country. "Working with AFS will allow us to ship the high volume of products that full production demands, while keeping our freight cost to a minimum, without compromising service to our customers."
