CVD Equipment Corporation Expands First Nano Laboratory

Ronkonkoma,  NY,  December 12, 2007 - CVD Equipment  Corporation  (NASDAQ:  CVV)
announced  today that it has signed a contract to purchase a 13,300  square foot
facility in  Ronkonkoma,  NY for expansion of it's First Nano  Laboratory in Q1,
2008.  The larger  facility  will enable First Nano, a division of CVD Equipment
Corporation,  to work with  multiple  startup and  established  companies in the
Nano, Solar,  Energy and  Semiconductor  fields for  commercialization  of their
Intellectual Property (IP).

Mr.  Rosenbaum,  President  of CVD,  said,  "The  relocation  of our First  Nano
Laboratory into larger  quarters will enable us to perform on multiple  projects
to accelerate  commercialization  of tomorrow's  technologies  in nano and solar
applications, and to expand the capabilities of our current in-house process and
equipment research.  The laboratory will contain First Nano's innovative process
systems for Carbon Nanotube, Nanowire,  Nanomaterial and Solar applications. The
laboratory is located one (1) block from our design and manufacturing  facility.
This proximity promotes close cooperation with our process equipment development
team to enable us to quickly conceive and implement  specific process  equipment
customizations to rapidly advance each project"

"Bright  ideas often fail to reach  commercialization  when an equipment  design
solution  resulting  in  acceptable  quality,  productivity  and  yield  is  not
developed within a given time frame" said Dr. Karlheinz Strobl, VP of Businesses
Development.  "New ideas and  concepts  can be  prototyped  and  validated  much
faster,  for less cost,  and most  importantly  at lower risk,  by utilizing the
available  equipment in our  laboratory  and using the  expertise of our process
engineers and  scientists.  This  expansion  enables more companies to privately
validate  their  concepts  and  prototype  at  least  part of  their  production
processes thereby accelerating their path to commercialization."
