.61/.66... (COMTEX) B: COX Technologies Hires Manufacturing Expert to Supervise B: COX Technologies Hires Manufacturing Expert to Supervise Opening of U.S. Production BELMONT, N.C., Oct 19, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- COX Technologies (OTC BB:COXT) Tuesday announced the hiring of James L. Dalton as Senior Vice President of Operations and the opening of a new production facility in Belmont where the corporate headquarters is located. The new operation in Belmont will equal the production capabilities of the company's original plant in Malmo, Sweden. "We are strategically making Belmont our center of technical competence, " said James L. Cox, chief executive officer of COX Technologies, "and we are excited to have someone of Jim Dalton's caliber joining our team." Dalton brings to COX Technologies a wealth of experience in high-speed manufacturing, which will greatly enhance the production of the company's Vitsab(R) time-temperature integrator tags (TTIs). Vitsab tags are self-adhesive biochemical labels that track the time-temperature history of perishable commodities. Vitsab(R) meets the time-temperature monitoring needs for seafood, meat, poultry, eggs, fresh produce, prepared foods, pharmaceuticals, live plants and cut flowers. Based in Belmont, COX Technologies has been providing time-temperature management solutions for perishable commodities since 1976. It is an industry leader in food safety technology and quality assurance systems for all facets of the food industry. Since 1970, Dalton has managed manufacturing and packaging operations for a variety of companies such as Borden Chemical, Rexam Corp., Gulf Adhesives and Pak-Tec. During that time, he has developed expertise in setting up and supervising manufacturing sites, recruited and trained inside and outside sales forces, maintained and developed suppliers and distributors and consulted to R & D departments on priorities for product development. "As we generate greater sales of Vitsab, having a U.S. manufacturing presence will be a distinct advantage for COX Technologies," said Dalton. Dalton is an economics graduate of North Carolina State University and a master of business administration candidate at Queens College in Charlotte, N.C. In addition to establishing production capability in Belmont, Dalton will assist COX Technologies in securing domestic sources for raw materials.
