Exhibit 99.1

              Sono-Tek Corporation Named Exclusive Distributor for
                   EVS International Solder Recovery Systems

      MILTON, N.Y., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sono-Tek Corporation (OTC
Bulletin Board: SOTK) announces that it has signed an agreement with EVS
International (United Kingdom), making Sono-Tek the exclusive distributor of EVS
solder recovery systems throughout the U.S. and Canada. EVS solder recovery
systems reclaim 75% pure solder from the oxide-laden dross created in the solder
pot used in wave-solder processing of printed circuit assemblies. Traditionally,
the printed circuit board assembler has always returned the dross to the solder
manufacturer. With the EVS solder recovery system, the pure solder is reclaimed
by the customer and put back directly into the wave solder machine.

      EVS systems not only offer assemblers the ability to reduce lead or
lead-free solder costs dramatically (ROIs of months are not uncommon), but they
are also important for promoting good environmental practices (as promulgated in
the ISO14001 standard), in that they enable companies to recycle, reduce, and
reclaim, the core components of the ISO 14001 standard.

      CEO and President of Sono-Tek Corporation, Dr. Christopher L. Coccio
stated, "The EVS solder recovery system is synergistic with our SonoFlux spray
fluxing system product line. Both are used in through-hole wave-solder
processing. The contacts we deal with at printed circuit board manufacturers
that specify spray fluxing equipment, are the same people that will specify EVS
solder recovery equipment."

      Vice President of Sales for EVS International, Simon Norman, commented,
"Sono-Tek's unrivalled position in providing ultrasonic spray fluxing systems
and their worldwide reputation for service, support and innovation make them a
natural partner for the world's leading solder recovery system."

      Sono-Tek will be exhibiting the EVS product line at the Assembly
Technology Exhibition (ATE) at the Rosemont Exhibition Center in Chicago,
Illinois this week.
