KRUG's Klippan Subsidiary Continues to Receive Awards For its Children's Automobile Safety SeatsATLANTA, Feb. 9 -- KRUG International Corp. (Amex: KRG) announced that its European subsidiary, Klippan Limited, earned three additional prestigious awards and three outstanding test ratings in the United Kingdom. Klippan's Prima seat, designed for use by children from birth to 15 months, won the Best in Test award from Babycare and Pregnancy magazine after competing against seven other well-known brand names in the U.K. The Klippan Suprema, designed for use by children from six months to eleven years, won a Best Buy award by What Car? magazine, receiving the maximum overall rating for stability, ease of use and value. What Car? is a leading automobile magazine in the U.K. and the Best Buy rating clearly distinguishes Klippan's seat from the competition. In addition to winning the "Best Buy" award, three other Klippan seats, the Futura, Dreama and Hi Life Lux, received excellent ratings from What Car?. Klippan's Futura seat, designed for use by children from birth to six years, won the Best Buy award of Pregnancy and Birth magazine. This is Futura's fifth Best Buy award. David Wright, managing director of Klippan, said, "We are very proud of these awards. They confirm to us that the child safety market continues to recognize the unique combination of safety, style and value in Klippan's children's automobile safety seats." Robert M. Thornton, Jr., president and chief executive officer of KRUG commented, "The Klippan seats have won five awards and Best Buy ratings since the beginning of the year 2000. This excellent start for Klippan in the new millennium is recognition that Klippan offers parents the latest style combined with the best safety features of any child car seat in Europe."
