First Commercial AquaFrost® line sold in North America

(June 16, 2006  Brampton, Ontario) President and CEO Bud Smith of Brampton Engineering and President Henry Ciszewski of Packall Packaging Inc. are pleased to announce Packall Packaging Inc. has purchased a 9-layer AquaFrost line for installation in its facility in Brampton, Ontario. This partnership will be the first commercial installation in North America of BE’s revolutionary AquaFrost technology and will be the eighth Aquafrost line sold worldwide by Brampton Engineering in the last two years.

“Our longstanding relationship with Packall will allow our customers to run secure trials at their facility,” says Smith. Henry Ciszewski says, “We are thrilled to be able to take advantage of yet another innovative technology from BE. We have customers who are waiting to buy this film with its unmatched clarity, properties, and product performance.”

BE Vice President of Sales (North America) Jim Stobie says,  “We are delighted to work with Packall again, on this project. We expect our close working relationship will result in continued improvements in this technology and accelerate AquaFrost’s penetration into the North American Market.”

“Packall has been a great customer of ours for a long time and we are looking forward to continuing this relationship on a new level,” says Bud Smith.

AquaFrost is a downward blown waterquenched process which uses as much as 50% less floor space than a cast line and produces 10-15% less scrap than a cast line. Bubble down on the new line is scheduled for late October. Stobie, commented, “we anticipate considerable interest, especially from our North American customers. We have AquaFrost lines in Europe, South Africa, Latin America and China and the Middle East. Access is to this line will enable our customers to see AquaFrost closer to home.

Packall Packaging Inc is less than 10 minutes away from the BE Headquarters. Packall has a monolayer,  7 and 9-layer BE lines and a complete converting facility.
