Plasticon International Inc. (OTC: PLNI) is pleased to announce that the company has successfully completed the privately financed and definitive agreement for the acquisition of Pro Mold, Inc., pending SEC approval. Plasticon will be receiving plant equipment and current contracts valued at close to $5 Million.

Pro Mold, Inc. is currently profitable and generates revenues of approximately $5 million annually. Pro Mold, Inc. is one of the premiere injection molding companies of the Midwest. The Pro Mold facilities will be wholly owned by Plasticon, and will become the centerpiece for manufacturing operations.

The Pro Mold facilities allow Plasticon to greatly advance production capabilities. With the addition of the new high-capacity molding machine that Plasticon recently purchased, the plant will now be able to produce up to $28 to $30 million in sales annually.

"This acquisition symbolizes a move to the next level for Plasticon, we can now control the future of the company through our own proprietary manufacturing methodology. This is a great day for Plasticon and our investors," stated Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International, Inc.
