RPM Plastic Pallet Design Revolutionizes
Parts Handling
in the Automotive
Industry
PLAINFIELD,
Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 2003--RPM Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:RPMM)
announced today that it has received an initial order from one
of the nation's leading automobile manufacturers for a specially
designed plastic pallet that is being used for moving parts through
its assembly stations. RPM reported that after considerable analysis
and product-use trials the final design was accepted and lauded
by plant engineers and their material handlers.
"The problem was
damage to parts, such as doors, as they moved through the assembly
process," said Randy Zych, CEO of RPM Technologies. "We designed
a rubber-impregnated plastic pallet that keeps metal from directly
contacting a hard surface such as plastic or wood, which can cause
scratches and abrasions requiring repair or refinishing. Rubber
strips were molded into the pallet's surface, enabling a half-inch
rise, which prevented damage and saved the manufacturer time and
money."
The automaker
evaluated the product and its effectiveness for several months
as RPM helped with refinements and testing. "With the success
of this pallet design we expectthe resulting product to find acceptance
within a myriad of other manufacturing environments as well,"
said Zych.
RPM Technologies
manufactures plastic pallets and other material-handling products
featured on its Web site www.rpmplasticpallets.com. The company
has positioned itself as a material-handling specialist, poised
to find solutions for its many customers'material-handling problems.

- RPM Technologies Inc. develops, produces and markets
plastic pallets used to facilitate the storage or transport
of a wide variety of goods via by forklift within a warehouse
operation or via truck, freight train or other cargo carrier.
RPM has developed what it believes to be a proprietary processing
system of producing stronger, environmentally-superior, cost
effective, plastic pallets using mostly recycled raw materials.
- Since the pallets are made from recycled plastic they
overcome many of the drawbacks associated with wood pallets
including: durability, weight, environmental concerns and the
potential for injuries caused by puncture wounds from nails
and splinters.
THE MARKET
"The pallet market in
US alone is approximately a $10
billion a year market. Currently,
90% of the market is wood pallets and 10% is plastic.
However, the pallet market is shifting from wood to plastic
at the rate of 3% to 5% per year. At this rate plastic
pallets should account for 50% of the market within the next
5 years."
RPM PRODUCT FEATURES
RPM pallets weigh considerably less than a wood pallet
of comparable size. RPM's recycled plastic pallets can be made
to specification and color too. Special features include a non-slide,
sure-grip surface and bottom texture to eliminate sliding
pallets and shifting loads. An inter-locking, nesting feature
saves space and facilitates easier shipping and storage. Strategically
placed drainage holes enable easy cleaning. Undesirable characteristics
such as leeching, color-transfer and odor retention have been
eliminated.
Pallet Enterprise magazine, conducted a survey in 1997 that investigated
the use of substitute materials for wood pallets. Plastic came
out on the very top. The three most important considerations stated
by shippers were:
- 1) Cost per use
- 2) Durability
- 3) Employee handling, safety and
quality

HISTORICAL BUSINESS INFORMATION: RPM Technologies
Inc., formerly known as Mann Enterprise, Inc. was incorporated
in the state of Delaware on April 10, 1996. On January 4, 1999,
the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement by which it formalized
the acquisition of rights to the designs, engineering, production
and sales of the plastic pallets of Savoia Corporation, a Delaware
corporation. However, the transaction was consummated on August
20, 1998 when the Company issued 4,086,957 shares of the Company's
Common Stock in consideration for Savoia's assets. The Company
did not conduct material operations until March 17, 2000, when
it acquired RPM Technologies, Inc., a Colorado corporation (RPMC).
RPMC became a subsidiary of the Company according to a stock-for-stock
exchange. On April 17, 2000, the Company collapsed the RPMC subsidiary
when RPMC was merged into the Company, and the Company adopted
the name, RPM Technologies, Inc. Until the first quarter of 2001,
the Company had no substantial operations or substantial assets
and was considered to be in the development stage. During the
second quarter of 2001, the Company began direct sales of its
plastic pallet products. On November 9, 2001, shareholders
owning approximately 9,963,786 shares, or 61% of the outstanding
Common Stock, voted to amend the Company's certificate of incorporation
to increase the number of shares of the Company's common stock
authorized for issuance from twenty million (20,000,000) to two
hundred fifty million (250,000,000)and to effect the one-for-five
(1-for-5) Reverse Stock Split.
