EWCO, as it is known today, began operations in Flint, Michigan on a very modest basis, fabricating tubular frames for the understructure of mobile homes. As the mobile home industry expanded and prospered in the 1950's, the company's tubing business expanded in like manner, and EWCO developed a national reputation for products of high quality at competitive prices. Eventually the company moved to much larger facilities in Marysville, Michigan, having out grown its original Flint home. In the late 1960's the The SpaceRak division was formed expressly to design and manufacture storage rack systems, and since then, SpaceRak has grown to be one of the country's leading suppliers of storage rack systems for distribution centers, warehouses and retail home center chains. Our line of products today includes racks of every type for nearly every kind of warehousing application and storage technology. SpaceRak's experienced engineering group has pioneered many new concepts in the industry, and strives to stay in the forefront of new developments that improve warehousing efficiency for our customers. We remain today, as we began many years ago, a company still driven by our commitment to product excellence and a strong dedication to customer service. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For More Information Contact: SpaceRak division of EWCO 2420 Wills Marysville, MI 48040 Tel: 810-364-7421 FAX: 810-364-5610 Internet: spacerak@ewco.net KEY EXECUTIVES Mr. James W.
