Couple of interesting packaging items I found related to TCBG. Packaging Strategies, Inc., founded in 1983, is a packaging intelligence services company based in West Chester, PA. They alert packaging professionals to market trends, business moves, and technology break throughs in the world of packaging. 207.94.83.244 1. MINUTE MAID TO INTRODUCE MORE JUICES, EXPANDS USE OF STAND-UP POUCHES Minute Maid Co., currently testing its Hi-C Blast and Minute Maid Cooler products in Texas in stand-up pouches, will expand market coverage for those products in the fourth quarter of 1998 with a complete national rollout planned. Is Minute partnering with TCBG? 2. Packaging Strategies, Inc provides research reports (not free). I did a search on this site about TCBG and found a few of items (already well covered on through all the postings - the law suit, partnering to sell water, etc...) and I found a report "Standup Pouches Pushing 4 Billion Units in 2003" (it is copy righted, $50). Of course TCBG is mentioned in the report as well as Kraft. The Report is more generic than just the aseptic pouch drink market. It mentions why TCBG won the lawsuit, although Kraft might disagree. I thought the report was stated in a matter of fact manner and was positive toward TCBG. TCBG is essentially a new company that is just about to come out with its first product. TCBG's financials are still an open issue but a company with no product and 0% market share is going to enter a the drink packaging market ($$$ huge dollars). The drink packaging market is also growing. This pouch market is dominated by Kraft and TCBG's strategy will be to partner with Kraft's competitor's. Let's just say I own quite a few shares of TCBG! Great conference call with the CEO. Let's have another one after the company releases the financials. Frank
