LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 2, 2008 -- New Century Companies, Inc. (OTC BB:NCNC.OB - News), a leading manufacturer and re-manufacturer of machine tools, announces today it received orders totaling $2.9 million for 3rd calendar quarter ending September 30, 2008. These orders exceeded our expectations, as July and August are typically the slowest months in which we receive orders from large corporations.

David Duquette, CEO, stated, "We are very pleased to have received so many new orders in the seasonally slow summer period. Furthermore, purchase order quotations for our machines have been higher than usual and we expect to have a strong 4th quarter as well. We believe the strong demand for our type of machines worldwide is being driven by rapidly growing companies in the energy markets."
