FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


                            WRP CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
                NONBINDING LETTER OF INTENT FOR STOCK REDEMPTION



ITASCA, IL, OCTOBER 3, 2003 - WRP CORPORATION (NASDAQ: WRPC), today announced
that it has signed a nonbinding letter of intent to enter into a stock
redemption and exchange agreement (the "Agreement") with its majority
shareholder, WRP Asia-Pacific Sdn. Bhd. ("WRP Asia"). The Letter of Intent calls
for WRPC to redeem 1,252,538 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 2,500,000
shares of Class B Common Stock, which comprise all of WRP Asia's holdings.
Collectively, these shares represent approximately 56% of the outstanding
Capital Stock of WRPC. The consideration for the redemption would be: (i) the
conveyance to WRP Asia of WRPC's 70% ownership interest in its subsidiary PT
Buana Multicorpora ("PTB") Indonesia, an Indonesian based manufacturer of
gloves; and (ii) excuse of all indebtedness owing to WRPC or its subsidiaries
from WRP Asia and from PTB. The transaction is subject to, among other things,
execution of a definitive redemption agreement, a five-year supply agreement
from WRP Asia and PTB to WRPC (through its subsidiary American Health Products
Corporation), calling for purchase of a portion of WRPC's glove requirements, as
well as the approval of the Company's and WRP Asia's Board of Directors.

The parties are in the process of negotiating definitive agreements at this
time, and there can be no assurances as to the final form of these agreements,
or that they will be executed, approved or closed. However, WRPC is hopeful that
the contemplated transactions will be consummated.

According to Alan Zeffer, Chief Financial Officer of WRPC, "In the event that we
are able to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Letter of Intent, we
believe we will be able to focus our energies on what we do best, namely the
distribution of high quality barrier protection and ancillary products. We enjoy
strong customer





relationships, maintain a significant presence in the glove market and have an
experienced management team. It is our plan to take full advantage of our
independence by aggressively growing our market share, assuming the successful
completion of this transaction."

WRP Corporation, headquartered in Itasca, is a top marketer of disposable
medical examination, foodservice and retail gloves. The Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, American Health Products Corporation, is a leading supplier of
branded and private label disposable gloves to the healthcare, foodservice,
retail and industrial markets nationwide. The Company is a majority-owned
subsidiary of Malaysia-based WRP Asia-Pacific, one of the world's leading
integrated manufacturers of latex powder-free disposable gloves.

This Press Release contains forward-looking statements, which involve numerous
risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risk that the
transaction contemplated in the Letter of Intent, the Company's ability to
maintain current sales levels at current margins and ability to maintain in
place the Company's current line of credit or replace it with an alternate
substitute. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
