I know this is old hat but IMO it is important enough to repeat.
All of these PRs are from the PLNI site.
IMHO, these types of “orders” are far more profitable than worrying about the strength of recycled plastic vs. virgin plastic. IMO, this is going to be one of the better money makers and the fact that the following is an important part of PLNI, is worth the cost of seeing the result of this acquisition.
SEMCO Chosen as Surfacing Vendor by Contractor for Apple Computer Japan Headquarters
LEXINGTON, KY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 23, 2006 -- Plasticon International Inc. (OTC: PLNI) announced today that SEMCO Manufacturing, Inc. was chosen as a surfacing vendor by the contractor for Apple Computer Japan Headquarters showcase demo and reception area in Tokyo. Apple Computer Japan is located in a 51-story building in the Shinjuku sector of Tokyo. Plasticon International, Inc. recently completed the acquisition of SEMCO.
According to SEMCO Manufacturing, the company was chosen for the project because its environmentally responsible, dielectric, waterproof surface cement system offers unlimited creative freedom with design, texture and color and their surfacing solutions exceed Japanese industry environmental standards for indoor air quality. "Our innovative surfacing solutions require no waste disposal, and are distinguished in the surfacing industry by their versatility, durability and beauty," said Samel Sem, President and founder of SEMCO Manufacturing. "Most importantly, our unique surfacing solutions have a competitive advantage over other surfacing products in that they cross link chemically to virtually any material they are being bonded to, and reinforce the density of almost any surface, including concrete, wood, foam, metal, asphalt, rubber and tile of all types. We take pride in the fact that our products met Apple Computer Japan's stringent design requirements from both a creative and environmental standpoint. Apple Computer is known as one of the most image-savvy companies worldwide, and it speaks volumes that our products were selected by the contractor and approved in the selection of materials for the project."
According to Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International, Inc., "We are thrilled that SEMCO was chosen by the contractor as a surfacing vendor for the Apple Computer Japan showcase demo project. SEMCO fits perfectly into the Plasticon family of companies. Both Plasticon and SEMCO are green companies that have consistently used environmentally responsible manufacturing practices before it was fashionable. Both Plasticon and SEMCO are pioneers in their fields and offer unique benefits to the construction industry. We believe this is just the beginning of SEMCO's growth in the $100 billion+ surfacing marketplace. As an established leader in surfacing, we believe that SEMCO's products will continue to be chosen for high-profile projects worldwide, because they offer the most environmentally friendly, creative, versatile solutions in the surfacing industry today. The fact that SEMCO's advanced product lines cross link chemically with virtually any surface they are applied to distinguishes them from any other surfacing company in the marketplace. As we work with SEMCO to expand their marketing efforts, we believe that SEMCO will become the largest profit center for Plasticon International, Inc. in the years ahead."
SEMCO Manufacturing, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, since 1981, has provided their surfacing products to many of the city's most impressive showcase projects, including a number of 5-star luxury resorts. Their eclectic customer base also includes high-profile commercial, public and private clientele. Projects have ranged from critical government facilities (the flooring of the Pentagon) to elementary schools, community centers and many prominent parks and public works projects to the Bioshpere project, where the SEMCO team provided the materials for the creation of a lush, fully functioning indoor rainforest. SEMCO's product line is noted for its incredible durability which is why it is not only extensively used indoors, but also on heavily trafficked outdoor walkways, in extreme outdoor weather, freeze/thaw conditions, and in chlorinated pool water and on rugged exteriors. SEMCO Manufacturing has offices in the U.S., Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
Plasticon's acquisition of SEMCO Manufacturing, Inc. has been completed, and is now awaiting SEC approval.

SEMCO Announces McCarren International Airport Surfacing Contract
LEXINGTON, KY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 25, 2006 -- Plasticon International Inc. (OTC: PLNI) announced today that SEMCO Manufacturing, Inc. was chosen as a surfacing vendor by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and McCarren International Airport. McCarren International Airport is located in Las Vegas and is owned and operated by Clark County, Nevada. Plasticon International, Inc. recently completed the acquisition of SEMCO.
According to SEMCO Manufacturing, the company's surfacing system was chosen for the project because McCarren International Airport required a solution that offered creative flexibility and preserved the airport's structure for long term use. "During the project design and specification stage of this project, the FAA and Clark County reviewed the options and ultimately selected SEMCO because our surfacing system not only meets FAA requirements -- it exceeds them. The incredible durability of SEMCO's surfacing system makes us the logical choice for this project, particularly since preservation of the structure is a high priority for McCarren International Airport," said Samel Sem, President and founder of SEMCO Manufacturing. "Our surfacing systems are renowned for their durability and versatility and are not only used extensively indoors, but also on heavily-trafficked outdoor walkways, on rugged exteriors and in extreme outdoor weather, including freeze/thaw conditions. Additionally, McCarren International Airport will benefit from the creative freedom and protective features of our surfacing technology. For example, our environmentally responsible surfacing systems will give McCarren the ability to produce a more creative, appealing exterior wall with virtually unlimited choices for color and texture, and our surfacing system will also protect the wall from both the fumes of airplanes and graffiti. Finally, our unique surfacing technology, which chemically cross links to virtually any surface it is applied to, completely waterproofs the surface, which is critical to preserving the structure for long term use."
According to Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International, Inc., "As the producer of the most advanced surfacing system in the market today, we believe that SEMCO will continue to gain momentum in the $100 billion + surfacing industry. We look forward to continuing to work with SEMCO to expand their marketing efforts so that we can gain market share in the massive surfacing industry. We will also be making several significant announcements regarding SEMCO in the near future."

Plasticon Announces That SEMCO's System Is Selected and Specified for Department of Transportation Surfacing Contract
LEXINGTON, KY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 30, 2006 -- Plasticon International Inc. (OTC: PLNI) announced today SEMCO's Ultimate Surface Effects® system has been selected and specified for the I-215 / I-515 Interchange ramp slope pavement project for the Nevada Department of Transportation (DOT).
"We are thrilled to be selected by the Nevada Department of Transportation on the Interchange project," said Samel Sem, President and founder of SEMCO Manufacturing. "SEMCO was specified for this project because our environmentally responsible system will allow the Nevada DOT to both improve the functionality of the freeway and to beautify the community at the same time. Our surfacing system will not only allow the DOT to use more vibrant color and design combinations, it will also enable them to prevent graffiti with SEMCO's proprietary protective coating, and to eliminate the absorption of water into the surface of the structure thereby prolonging the use of the freeway."
According to Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International, Inc., "We believe that the transportation sector offers one of the greatest opportunities for SEMCO's cutting-edge surfacing solutions. SEMCO's surfacing system is the most durable, versatile, environmentally friendly solution in the marketplace today, which makes them ideal for transportation projects and gives them a distinct advantage in the DOT selection process. As we increase SEMCO's exposure within the industry, we believe that architects and engineers will specify SEMCO's surfacing systems for more and more important contracts and projects as we move forward. And we believe that as environmental regulation continues to increase, demand for SEMCO's products will rise accordingly. The Senate recently passed a $285 billion transportation bill, so there's a wealth of surfacing opportunities to pursue in transportation. As the only company in our sector that is DOT (Department of Transportation) approved or accepted in all 50 states, Plasticon is in a unique position to help SEMCO expand their opportunities in the transportation sector."
SEMCO Manufacturing, based in Las Vegas, Nevada since 1991, has provided their surfacing products to many of the city's most impressive showcase projects, including a number of 5 star luxury resorts.
