Agree, only wish I had gotten in earlier. Still going to be a nice ride up, albeit not a rocket like the pumped up pennies.

I agree, share structure is too tight, all it will take is one institution that wants a good size position...
This price won't be under $2/share
for too many more sessions.
MWRI I think really wants some bad, new institutions don't just show up on OTC stocks...
Looks like some new shareholders
liking today's PR as well.
Nothing but huge revenue gains coming to
Southwall Tech.
Chart is a thing of beauty only a matter of time before we test last years highs...
And you gotta love the overall trend too.
Smart Money imo...

surprising not inspiring more buying.....
Other than some big projects that they mirrored up, I'd say this is the biggest deal they have ever been involved in...
co's biggest pr ever, no?!
I was hoping that since it took so long it might include some estimates of the value of the deal. Seems to be the same as what OC had though.
Still agree that it's big news to be partnered up with a giant like OC.
This is huge news, lets not forget regardless of how long it took for the PR to come out...
Nice call, very thin up to $2.00, should go nicely as news circulates...
ok! here we go!!!
Southwall to Supply Heat Mirror® Insulating Glass for New Line of Owens Corning High Performance Fiberglass Windows
Southwall Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:SWTX), the worldwide innovator of energy-saving films and glass products, announced today that it will supply the high performance insulating glass for InnovisionTM Windows, a new line of residential and commercial-grade fiberglass windows introduced last week by Owens Corning, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of fiberglass insulation and building materials. Southwall Insulating Glass, a joint venture company formed by Southwall last year to streamline the production of super-insulating glass incorporating Heat Mirror suspended film technology, will manufacture the glass for Owens Cornings’ newest window family.
Innovision windows’ combination of Heat Mirror insulating glass – honored by Popular Science magazine as one of the top 100 inventions of the millennium – with the industry’s first fully-bonded, slim-line fiberglass frame delivers a lightweight window with maximum strength and durability, a larger glass area, and superior energy efficiency.
“Because fiberglass technology enables the strongest and most energy-efficient frames available, it made perfect sense for Owens Corning to choose Southwall’s Heat Mirror suspended film technology, which enables the most energy-efficient glass available,” said Bruce Lang, president of Southwall Insulating Glass.
Bringing Super-Insulating Glass to Mainstream Green Building
Because glass remains a weak link in saving energy in buildings and homes, the US Department of Energy (DOE) is phasing in more demanding Energy StarTM window performance standards starting in 2010. Just as the window industry made a fundamental shift to low-e coated glass technology in response to the first Energy Star standards, the industry is now making a similar shift to super-insulating, multi-cavity glass technology to reach a new level of energy efficiency. The DOE’s higher performance targets and aggressive implementation timeline have created increased interest in available and proven solutions such as Heat Mirror insulating glass.
“National window brands are demanding more energy-efficient glass to meet increasing energy standards, and Heat Mirror technology promises to be a key enabler for a new generation of lightweight and super-insulating windows,” added Dennis Capovilla, president and CEO of Southwall Technologies. "We are extremely pleased that a strong brand such as Owens Corning is partnering with us to bring the benefits of Heat Mirror technology to a broader audience.”
About Heat Mirror Suspended Film Technology
Heat Mirror glass is a superior multi-cavity solution that suspends one or more low-emissivity and solar-reflective Heat Mirror films inside of an insulating glass unit to create two, three or even four insulating cavities without adding weight. This innovative approach enables window fabricators to offer higher performance glass options for their existing window systems today as well as for next-generation window systems in development. Heat Mirror suspended film technology combines the best of film-based and glass-based technologies to create the industry’s first “super glass” with center-of-glass insulating performance ranging from R-6 to R-20 while minimizing solar heat gain and blocking UV radiation.
About Southwall Technologies
Southwall Technologies Inc. is recognized as a leader in the development and manufacture of high performance, energy-saving films and glass products that dramatically improve the energy efficiency of residential, commercial and automotive glass. Southwall is an ISO 9001:2000-certified manufacturer with customers in over 25 countries.

Energy-Saving Glass Using Heat Mirror Suspended Film Technology to Be Produced by Southwall Joint Venture

Haha....very fitting, I sure hope so.
So we'll "set sail" tomorrow you think?
I feel good too, I wouldn't be surprised to see it tomorrow morning since it was Columbus Day today.
Paitently waiting... I feel plenty safe here, nothing to worry about imo...
MWM,
Have you heard anything recently?
TIA
Quiet here...maybe we get some news
this week.
Their earnings have to be turning up considering all the energy saving tax credits, that huge project in China had to help the bottom line and now Owens Corning, their next few Q's are going to be big...
Smart money will find this, those in for just the PR play will take profits, I'm in for the move to $2 and above...
Should be worth the wait imho.....
Well my guess for the PR now is on monday morning, not sure what is taking them so long, maybe they will have a pleasant surprise for us...
Works for me, I'm holding onto my nice chunk of shares!
I bet we close $1.50+ today.
Soon many others will also see the huge upside
potential here.
SWTX is a great $$$$$ opportunity.
The more I read up on this one, the more confident I become here....You found a beauty here MWM....Thanks again for showing it to me.
Definitely not many shares under $1.50 to be had, bring on the news...
I think we break 3 year highs here very soon, $2 is coming...
only a matter of time... buy and hold!
That would be nice.....probably need approval from OC on the PR before releasing to the wires....sometimes that can take a few days to work through the proper channels.
you would think today would be the day for pr..... we'll see what we see....
Just add a little volume and it's showtime...
Come on SWTX Time to Party like it's 1999....2002 would be fine too....
This forker appears to move on air.
Fresh 52 week highs today.
7 year high not far off.
SWTX - I'm in for a small position. I like little companies with big brothers.
OC has the rebate info on their website, I'll fish it out and post details later tonight.
Thanks, Rain........great DD as always. In this economy, where folks are remodeling and upgrading their homes, as opposed to selling and re-buying, we should be just fine here.
Looks like OC agrees.
Budget
I figured they were eligble for a rebate. With this and the New windsheild requirements in California, SWTX is going to be very busy in the coming years...
Very interesting OC has 18,000 employee's and just added replacement windows to their product lines last year. They sold one line of Solace vinyl windows until they just added the new Innovision line of Fiberglass windows that includes SWTX HM88. A much higher end line of windows which qualify for a $1500 Government Stimulus rebate under ARRA for energy efficient upgrades. Should be huge seller and pushed hard by OC.
Additionally, in 2008 we launched
our replacement windows business. Its offerings are sold to
specialty remodelers and homeowners under the brand names
Owens Corning Basement Finishing System™, Owens Corning
Room Finishing System™, Owens Corning SunSuites™ Sunrooms
and Owens Corning Solace™ replacement windows.
