PGA TOUR Star, Course Designer Brad Faxon to Advocate Benefits of Axion Golf's 'Green' Building Materials for Bridges, Walkways

A 25-year TOUR veteran with eight victories and two Ryder Cup appearances, Faxon will help market Axion's environmentally sound, cost-competitive and ultra-durable structures for golf courses being built, renovated and regularly maintained. The 2005 Payne Stewart Award winner and an active charity fundraiser, Faxon is one of the golf community's most respected figures.

Faxon is also a budding star in course design, working with partner Brad Booth on high-profile projects throughout the U.S. andCanada, including the famed Samoset Resort (Rockport, ME). In addition, Faxon and architect Gil Hanse remodeled the TPC ofBoston, home of the FedEx Cup's Deutsche Bank Championship and Golf Digest's "Best Private Renovation" in 2007. Signifying Faxon's commitment to environmental stewardship, his co-design with Booth at the Bay Club inMattapoisett, Mass., is the state's only course to earn Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary status.

Tested to last more than 50 years with minimal wear and tear, the company's patented composites resist the rotting, corrosion, leaching, cracking, rust and overall deterioration associated with conventional building materials.

"During my golf career, I've seen many new technologies enter and exit the market, and Axion is a sure bet to transform the way bridges, walkways and landscaping are constructed," says Faxon. "I'm thrilled to educate the golf industry about Axion's long-lasting, environmentally-friendly and affordable benefits."

"Brad Faxon is a very intelligent and passionate golf-course designer, and it means a lot for him to give Axion bridges and walkways two thumbs up," says James Kerstein, CEO of Axion. "This further validates the rapid acceptance of Axion among course architects, developers, owners and superintendents seeking sustainable materials which consistently perform better."

In addition to bridges traversing waterways, wetlands and other challenging topographies, Axion materials are used to create walkways and attractive landscaping for bulk-heading and framing walkways, cart paths, tee boxes and steps.

    Additional advantages of Axion bridges:

    -- Lower cost per square foot for higher quality material
    -- Textured surface doesn't absorb water for less slippage than wood
       (safety upgrade)
    -- Withstand severe weather and flooding
    -- Customized for extreme traffic and weight (golf carts, maintenance and
       construction vehicles)
    -- Decor of classic and contemporary models (various surface, railing and
       bumper colors, textures and shapes) blend with course surroundings
    -- Minimal color fading and looks new over time
    -- Impervious to moisture decay, fungus and insect infestation
    -- Absence of toxins eliminates pollution and preserves wildlife habitat
    -- Quick, hassle-free installation by contractor or course staff reduces
       time, manpower, machinery, golfer disruption and cost
    -- Virtually maintenance-free - no painting, staining or patching - saves
       on repair labor and downtime

About Axion International

In conjunction with scientists from Rutgers University, Axion developed patented technologies which convert 100-percent recycled consumer and industrial materials -- waste otherwise destined for landfills -- into structural products used in commercial applications. These super-polymer composites are extremely strong, flexible in use, long-lasting, low maintenance and cost-effective. For these reasons, the U.S. Army recently selected Axion bridges to carry its heavily-armored tanks. Operating from a "green" base with a "no-trees-cut-down" mentality, Axion management has more than 100 years in the plastics industry.
