CONN. &ndash; February 25, 2016 &ndash; Acme United Corporation (NYSE MKT:ACU) today announced that net sales for the year ended
December 31, 2015 were $109.8 million, compared to $107.2 million in 2014, an increase of 5% in constant currency and 2% in US
dollars. Net sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015 were $23.1 million compared to $24.7 million in the same period
of 2014, a decrease of 5% in constant currency and 6% in US dollars.</FONT></P>

income was $440,000, or $.12 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $689,000, or $.19 per diluted
share, for the comparable period of 2014. During the quarter, the Company incurred $250,000 of
one-time moving, severance and training costs related to the completion of the consolidation of its first aid operations. Excluding
these costs, net income after taxes would have been $595,000 in the fourth quarter and earnings per share would have been $0.16.
 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $4,794,000 or $1.30 per diluted share compared to $4,789,000 or $1.36
per diluted share for the prior year. Excluding the $400,000 of one-time costs associated with the move, earnings per diluted

and CEO Walter C. Johnsen said, &ldquo;During 2015, Acme United had a record year in sales and net income. Sales during 2015 were
reduced by currency translations and the discontinuation of $3.0 million of low margin branded medications. The Company closed
a factory in Norwalk, CT and incurred approximately $400,000 of expenses during the year. We expect the closure to generate over
$500,000 in annual savings in 2016 and beyond.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/150% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"><FONT STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">Mr.
Johnsen added, &ldquo;We believe that we are well-positioned to
continue our growth in 2016 and beyond. Most of the impact of weak Canadian and European currencies,
which reduced revenues in 2015 by $2.3 million, appears to be behind us. Our recently acquired DMT&reg; sharpener business, which
provides world-class sharpening solutions for professional, commercial and individual users, and complements Acme United&rsquo;s
existing brands and products, is already accretive to earnings. Our preliminary guidance for 2016 is approximately $120 million
in revenues, $5.6 million in net income, and $1.47 per share. Even without the contributions of DMT, this would constitute another
record year for Acme United.&rdquo; </FONT></P>
