Wicklund Holding Company, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: WKDH)

Dear Reader,

Making trees obsolete….

Today’s featured company may soon make trees obsolete…at least in many industrial applications.  The editors of StockUpTicks still believe that trees will be irreplaceable as shade, sources of fruit and children’s tree houses  :)

Wicklund Holding Company, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: WKDH), has successfully created and sold a unique recycled plastic material that can be used as a replacement for wood, concrete, rebar and more. To be specific, not only is WKDH saving trees with its new building material, it is creating this versatile solution from recycled materials.

And before you say “Oh, another recycling story that will never get off the ground” consider this: Wicklund’s products have ALREADY been used in a variety of household name structures, not the least of which is the architectural masterpiece Toronto SkyDome among others.

With a world learning lessons in conservation and ecology from an oil market gone amuck, perhaps the time is right for investors to figure out what those building structures like the SkyDome already know.  Read on.

Wicklund is strategically positioned to benefit from significant U.S. transportation infrastructures authorized by the recent Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2003 (SAFETEA) with $275 billion budgeted over the next six years.  A major expenditure of this funding will be on bridge repair and construction, creating a $600 million market opportunity for construction rebar supports in U.S. bridge construction alone.  The concrete construction market for rebar supports was approximately $27 billion in 1993 (Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute). 

Plastic lumber sales in the United States are growing at 40% per year, topping 16 million board feet, or about 40 million pounds last year. That compares with 81.5 billion board feet of wood used in the United States in 1995 (National Lumber Building Material Dealers Assoc. in Washington, D.C.).

BlueLinx has a six-year distribution agreement with Georgia-Pacific for the distribution of Georgia-Pacific products, including Wicklund's rebar supports. "This is an exclusive relationship for our companies, which will for the first time provide for the national distribution of our rebar supports," said James Turek, president of Wicklund Holding Company.

"This opens the concrete construction market so our products will be available on a daily basis for use by all contractors. We currently supply rebar supports to large construction projects via advance sales. Prior to this agreement, our products where not accessible to smaller contractors or independent contractors," said Turek. "Our relationship with Georgia-Pacific, and with BlueLinx as our primary distributor, gives us reason to be optimistic that our product sales should improve sharply."

According to its May 10, 2004 news release, BlueLinx distributes more than 10,000 building products in 14 categories from more than 1,600 supplier companies, to customers nationwide. BlueLinx has a multi-year agreement to purchase structural panels, lumber and other building products manufactured by Georgia-Pacific and will be the exclusive distributor for select Georgia- Pacific-branded products.

Wicklund Divisions & Products

A unique feature of all Wicklund products is that they are of the highest quality, yet do not require virgin raw material. Using recycled materials significantly reduces the cost of manufacturing this has designated Wicklund as a "green company." Wicklund's use of environmental waste as raw material in the production of new and innovative products will continue to reduce waste since the new products are themselves, recyclable. 

The company's primary products (80% of revenue) are concrete accessories and until now the company has focused on the development of necessary molds and patents. Wicklund products are recognized as the "Cadillac" in the industry and are without serious competition.

Wicklund was chosen for these showcase structures because its products are well designed and are constructed from strong, flexible, dielectric, non-corrosive, recycled and engineered plastic materials.  These products do not rust, do not absorb water, and avoid the pitfalls of chloride ion attack. Wicklund slab and beam bolster products can be snapped together easily, saving labor and material expenses. 

Wicklund  plastic signs are stronger and more durable than aluminum signs, are UV-stable, and will not sustain damage from the sun's rays.  They are also unattractive to thieves who remove aluminum signs for salvage value.  Also, they are easily patched, in the event of bullet holes and other damage. 

All supplies are manufactured from recycled plastic. Wicklund has received approval by the General Service Administration (GSA) for their inclusion in its catalogue of products from which all government agencies may purchase from the GSA by simply placing an order. Competitive bidding is not required and government buyers are encouraged to support environmentally safe products. 

Wicklund's plastic supports have ZERO PERCENT WATER RETENTION, thus are very desirable in climates of moderate to heavy exposure. (e.g.; northern climates, coastal areas, waste water treatment facilities, etc...) All other materials, including epoxy coated supports, allow varying levels of water retention causing rusting and subsequent spalling. Other "ALL Plastic" supports are generally made using commodity plastics resins. These resins do not have the durability, dependability and resistance that ours have when subjected to extreme HEAT and COLD and that adds a tremendous value to the Wicklund patent.
