RPM Plastic Pallet Design Revolutionizes Parts Handling in the Automotive Industry

PLAINFIELD, Ill.--Oct. 21, 2003--RPM Technologies Inc. (OTC BB:RPMM) announced today that it has received an initial order from one of the nation's leading automobile manufacturers for a specially designed plastic pallet that is being used for moving parts through its assembly stations. RPM reported that after considerable analysis and product-use trials the final design was accepted and lauded by plant engineers and their material handlers.

"The problem was damage to parts, such as doors, as they moved through the assembly process," said Randy Zych, CEO of RPM Technologies. "We designed a rubber-impregnated plastic pallet that keeps metal from directly contacting a hard surface such as plastic or wood, which can cause scratches and abrasions requiring repair or refinishing. Rubber strips were molded into the pallet's surface, enabling a half-inch rise, which prevented damage and saved the manufacturer time and money."

The automaker evaluated the product and its effectiveness for several months as RPM helped with refinements and testing. "With the success of this pallet design we expect the resulting product to find acceptance within a myriad of other manufacturing environments as well," said Zych.
