Plasticon to Commence Manufacturing at Pro Mold Facility on November 10th

Plasticon International Inc. (OTC: PLNI) announced today that the company will commence manufacturing at the Pro Mold, Inc. production facility in St. Louis, Missouri, on November 10th.

"For the first time in the history of the company, Plasticon will control the manufacturing process from start to finish, which will allow us to control our own destiny through the Pro Mold production facility," said Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International. "From this point forward, we will no longer rely on contract manufacturing. This is an exciting milestone for Plasticon." Next week, Plasticon will webcast a video tour of the entire plant. Mr. Turek will be present to start the new state-of-the-art 500-ton Toyo molding machine, signaling the beginning of Plasticon's control of the facility. "We will now control the entire manufacturing process, from molding the recycled resins, shaping them into innovative recycled plastic products and delivering the final product to the field," Mr. Turek said.

According to Mr. Turek, there are several major advantages to acquiring the Pro Mold facility. "First, the new plant will allow the company to offer enhanced service to our customer base through faster turnaround times on orders. Secondly, the new plant will give the company more direct supervision of quality control issues. Third, it will allow us to meet increased demand. Demand has been steadily rising for our most recently patented product, the PAC Chair III, as well as our additional recycled plastic rebar support products. The new facility allows us to control the process and effectively meet demand. Additionally, there is currently a $1 million backlog in orders for Pro Mold, which will need to be met as soon as possible. Fourth, the facility will allow us to produce custom-made orders, which will allow for expanded sales opportunities. We are looking forward to getting started on November 10th."

The new production facility allows for $20 million in production and sales annually at present production capacity, and with the addition of several new Toyo machines, production capacity can be pushed to between $25 million to $28 million annually.
