FRANKLIN PARK, Ill.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Del Global Technologies Corp. (OTCBB:DGTC) ("Del Global" or "the Company") today announced the winning of a large government tender in Mexico. Del's seamless product specifications, local service, expedient delivery times and comprehensive warranty were key factors in Mexico's decision to award the tender. Local support services are to be provided by Del's in-country dealer Suministro para Uso Médico y Hospitalario (SMH).

According to Belisario Jasso, General Director at SMH, "Mexico's government scrutinized Del's local presence carefully before making the award. As it stands in order to be considered a relevant business partner to the Government here, having a strong local presence is always a mitigating factor."

The Mexican Government plans to install sixApollo Systems for the Mexico City Government Health Services, four Digital Apollo Systems for the ISSSTE (Government Workers Health and Social Institute) and eight Del RAD Systems for the ISEM (Health Services for the State of Mexico). The Apollo units were manufactured by Villa Sistemi Medicali in Italy and were shipped to Mexico in December of 2008. Jasso says, "The first units will be installed in Mexico in January of 2009."

According to Dennis Runyan, Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing for the Del Medical Systems Group, "Del Medical is known for product quality and reliability, so we choose our international dealer relationships carefully. SMH is a leading sales and support provider of advanced imaging technology with installations in major hospitals throughout the Mexican Republic. Our relationship with SMH extends the geographic reach of our digital radiography portfolio and capabilities to our global customers like the Mexican Government. Our global dealers are chosen carefully as we rely on them to provide the same quality and support that our customers have grown to expect over the last eighty years of being in business."
