Conforce International, Inc. (OTC: CFRI), developers of the revolutionary EKO-FLOR, are pleased to announce that they have signed an Exclusive Supply Agreement with Royal Group Technologies Ltd. (listed on the NYSE and TSX) for the manufacture of the new Conforce composite container flooring product, EKO-FLOR. The deal concludes months of negotiations and marks the commencement of preparations for the production of EKO-FLOR, scheduled for launch in mid 2006.

Royal Group Technologies Ltd. ("Royal") is North America's largest PVC extruder and one of the world's leading polymer-based manufacturers with production and distribution in over 60 countries worldwide. With over 9,000 employees, Royal is a global leader in technologically superior design and production.

The agreement with Royal allows Conforce to have EKO-FLOR mass-produced in strategically located production facilities around the world. This will ensure consistent new product distribution to current Conforce clients such as the International shipping lines, as well as to new clients such as container leasing companies that have expressed interest in the product. The venture with Royal also enables Conforce to capitalize on after-market distribution through the planned worldwide network of Conforce distributors and sales agents. The alliance with Royal will allow Conforce to maintain, at all times, competitive global pricing.

Mr. Marino Kulas, President and CEO of Conforce, said that having Royal as their manufacturing partner is the "perfect solution to the production end of the EKO-FLOR business." Mr. Kulas added that "the ability to leverage the manufacturing strengths of one of the largest producers in the world will enable us to meet anticipated demand. We are confident that Royal's considerable manufacturing expertise and worldwide presence will be an asset leading up to and during our global launch."
