Wicklund Holding Company, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: WKDH)
June 14, 2004.
 
Wicklund Holding Company, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: WKDH)

Dear Reader,

The grass is always greener… when it’s artificial.

It’s a funny thing for some of us in the west.  There’s just not enough water for us to have the lawns we covet in our suburban desert paradises.  Already, in growth-charged Las Vegas, there are specific times and dates when you may water your existing lawns while a new measure disallows grass lawns in the front yards of new homes.

This leaves you with two choices: desert landscaping or artificial solutions, which are both taking root in the Southwest.  But what about the massive expanses of grass needed for soccer, baseball, football and more?

Our previously featured company, Wicklund Holding Company, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: WKDH),  has announced the acquisition of A.T.G. Sports Industries, a 24-year-old company that specializes in the manufacture of artificial athletic surfaces for indoor and outdoor sports applications such as tennis, soccer, football, baseball, rugby, running tracks and field hockey.

This acquisition will add to an already potent Wicklund corporate roster of recycled plastic-based materials.  And remember, this isn’t a concept-in-waiting.  Wicklund’s products have been used in some of the finest architectural structures in the world including the renowned Skydome in Toronto.

Hopefully, someday sports fans sitting in the seats will be looking down on the world's greatest athletes playing on a surface provided by Wicklund / A.T.G. as well.

Be sure to bookmark this stock symbol WKDH and stay tuned for further developments.

As they say, don’t let the grass grow under your feet!

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 and designates 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.

Examples of locations where Wicklund's primary products of Slab & Beam Bolsters are in place:
a
Toronto SkyDome aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaChattanooga Aquarium 
a
AAAA Tampa Convention CenteraaaaaaaaaaaaaNuclear Regulatory Facility at Los Alamos

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.
