The Polytech Netting business continues to consolidate production at its state of the art Mexican production facility where an expansion is currently underway to double its current size. The expansion will accommodate further vertical integration of manufacturing processes as well as absorption of production capacity from our Orillia production facility which will be closed by fiscal year end.
The Poli-Twine group has experienced significant improvement in margins as a result of operating efficiencies and relatively stable selling prices and resin costs. The industrial division is continuing its efforts to expand into North American markets.
The right sizing of PMP is now complete resulting in a more efficient operation. Positive results on emission testing at small engine manufacturers has generated considerable interest in powder metal cylinder liners. A new test program with a significant air bag manufacturer is yielding positive results in this high volume industry. Although this program is in the early stages of testing the results to date have shown that a powder metal component has many benefits to the manufacturer of air bags and the end user.
TecSyn has reduced its total debt from $31.2 million a year ago to $16.0 million which reduced interest charges dramatically.
TecSyn is the largest manufacturer of baler twine in North America, the world's largest supplier of automotive restraint and convenience netting products, and the world's most advanced manufacturer of powdered metal products utilizing TecSyn's proprietary cold isostatic compaction technology.
