NORTHVALE, N.J., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Photonic Products Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PHPG) today announced the appointment of Dennis G. Romano to its Board of Directors. He will serve under this appointment until the annual election of directors expected to be in June 2010.

Mr. Romano, 66, joins the Board of Photonics Products Group, Inc. after a lengthy and successful career in the defense sector with Grumman Corporation and its successor Northrop Grumman Corporation.

This culminated in his election, in 1993, by the Grumman Board of Directors to the position of Vice President of Business Development where he was responsible for directing the business development activities of essentially all of the military programs in the Aircraft and Electronics division. After the acquisition of Grumman by Northrop in 1995, Mr. Romano held a series of senior and executive level positions in the area of marketing, business development and strategy.
