    NEW YORK--Sept. 24, 2002--BChinaB, Inc., the leading outsourcing firm in the plastics industry, today announced that Frank V. Lozano has joined the firm as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Lozano comes to BChinaB with nearly 25 years of sales and marketing experience in the chemical and plastics sectors.
    "We are thrilled to have Frank's expertise and innovative approach to sales and marketing on board," said Jeremy Haft, BChinaB's co-chairman and President. " The vast network of effective business relationships he's developed over the years - and his tremendous skill in training and motivating some of the industry's most successful sales and marketing pros - will be of great value to a dynamic, rapidly growing firm like ours."
    Lozano has spent the past 25 years in key marketing and sales positions for companies ranging from small start-up manufacturers to large corporations, including Mobil Chemical, Interplast (a subsidiary of Formosa Plastics), and Caterpillar Tractor Co. Most recently, Lozano was General Sales Manager for Ex-Cel Manufacturing, Inc., a provider of expanded PVC products, where he was responsible for doubling the company's sales in less than two years. Lozano is well-versed in opening new markets, both domestically and internationally, as well as expanding existing market capacities. His expertise also extends to sales and marketing training and sales force management.
    Representing more than 1000 contract manufacturers in Mainland China and featured in a recent The Wall Street Journal article, BChinaB sources high-volume products in China by managing and quality-assuring the entire supply chain of an order - from tooling and production to assembly and export. For distributors, original equipment manufacturers, and other buyers of goods and materials in the United States, BChinaB is the leading source of plastic semi- and finished goods from China, making it faster, easier and more cost-efficient for U.S. firms to do business in a famously complex region of the world.
