    COLUMBIA, S.C., Nov. 14 Safety-Kleen Corp. announced today
that its subsidiary, Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc., has signed an agreement to
serve as the exclusive distributor of SystemOne's innovative line of parts
cleaning equipment.  SystemOne's products will be marketed throughout
Safety-Kleen Systems' 173 branch locations across North America beginning in
2001.
    "SystemOne has developed an innovative line of products that fits well
with our traditional parts-cleaning markets and our existing sales and service
network," said Safety-Kleen President and Chief Operating Officer Grover
Wrenn.  "This is a continuation of Safety-Kleen's ongoing commitment to
provide our customers with the best parts cleaning technology and service
available."
    The multi-year agreement between Safety-Kleen and SystemOne encompasses
the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico, and will require the
approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court overseeing Safety-Kleen's Chapter 11
reorganization.  In addition to marketing the machines to new customers,
Safety-Kleen will extend its parts cleaning services to SystemOne's customer
base of 18,000 machines.
    Safety-Kleen will begin offering the new SystemOne machines in the first
quarter of 2001.  The SystemOne product line includes various-sized models,
manual and automated, with applications within both automotive and industrial
markets.
