Jasper Rubber: Official Manufacturer of ElectriPlast
Following is the gist of a message I sent to a group of friends regarding today's press release:
Forgive me for paraphrasing from the 1897 newspaper response to little Virginia O'Hanlon who wrote a similar message to the Sun newspaper in New York inquiring about the existence of Santa Claus, but was today's PR good, mediocre or bad news?
From my optic, it was good news. Very good news.
For a start, Integral announced that we have moved past the prototype stage of developing ElectriPlast to the production phase. (Remember, 2007 is the revenue-generating year.) EXCELLENT news!
Also, Integral acknowledged that there are well over 100 companies who will now be able to get the "necessary" material to manufacture ElectriPlast-based products. My read is that some of those 100 companies are at the point where they are ready to produce widgets made from the necessary material, ElectriPlast. SUPER news!
Then Jasper's CEO and President Doug Mathias, a captain of industry whose client base includes Fortune 500 companies, commented on the long-term success of Integral. I took that to mean that we will provide ElectriPlast-based widgets to many of those Fortune 500 companies well into the future. Accordingly, the price per share will move past $10, $20 or whatever the PPS will be for a "long-term" successful company. SUPER news!
Finally, it sounds like Jasper Rubber is ready to manufacture a wide range of products made of ElectriPlast for the major appliance (GE?), oil filter (Fram, ACDelco, Purolator???), and automotive industries (Detroit, Tokyo, Muenchen???) SUPER news!
So, while we didn't "hear" the name of a mega monolithic manufacturer today, it's what was written between the line's that counts.
If the assembly lines are ready to roll, can those "big" names be far behind? Cheers
