Toronto, Ont. - January 29, 2009 Conforce International, Inc. (OTC-PK: CFRI - "Conforce" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received its first order for its newly developed EKO-FLOR ms-1 special application military container panels. The $1,100,000 order was placed in connection with a Letter of Intent received by Conforce from its United States military contractor Sea Box Inc. in May 2008.

At the request of Sea Box, EKO-FLOR ms-1 was designed by Conforce for use as military supply shelving in United States rapid deployment containers. Conforce President and Chief Executive Officer Marino Kulas explained that "the task we were given was to develop a variation of our cs-4 flooring profile to support military supplies stored in specialized containers around the world. The objective was to produce a light-weight composite panel with load bearing properties. We are happy to have met the challenge and as a result, we are confident that this development will enable us to supply EKO-FLOR panels for numerous military and non-military containers".

While the first order will generate over US $1,100,000 in revenues for Conforce, on-going orders from Sea Box are expected to generate revenues in excess of US $4,000,000 over the next 24 months. Initial production of ms-1 has commenced in North America with the first shipment of panels arriving overseas last week. The EKO-FLOR equipped containers will now be delivered by Sea Box to the US Air Force for final deployment. Manufacturing of the ms-1 panels is expected to be shifted to the new Conforce Production and Development Centre in Ontario by March of this year.

Sea Box President Mr. Jim Brennan added that "when Conforce first heard of our project, I was impressed with their energy and commitment to working with our design group. They were quick to produce a prototype to further develop the product. The first shipment of panels arrived on time and fit the requirements perfectly. We look forward to continuing our work with Conforce to evaluate the potential for EKO-FLOR in other special application containers".

Located in East Riverton, New Jersey, Sea Box specializes in the design, development and production of a wide range of ISO shipping containers for all branches of the armed forces as well as Fortune 500 companies. For the military's rapid deployment requirements, Sea Box solutions include special application containers for electronic and telecommunication equipment, power generation, water purification, emergency medical operations, personnel support, military mission modules, command and control centers, and emergency preparedness modules.
