July 2, 2003 Press Release KFGI AWARDED PATENT FOR NON-METALLIC CONVEYORS SUPPORTING RFID APPLICATIONS Company Expands RCS-6689™ Product Offering to Meet Additonal Customer Demand DALLAS, TX-- Kalm-Forsythe Global Innovations, Ltd. (KFGI), a developer and manufacturer of high-performance composite components, announced today that it was issued a patent directed towards the use of non-metallic materials in conveyor systems, including fast-growing radio-frequency identification (RFID) applications. The company also announced it will expand product sizes offered for its RCS-6689™ non-metallic conveyors to accommodate the growing demand for RFID installations. The United States Patent Office awarded Patent No. 6,581,759 to KFGI after many years of developing non-metallic composite materials for specific material handling applications. The patent is directed towards the use of non-metallic materials in conveyor systems that possess physical characteristics that are substantially similar to those experienced with structural metals. KFGI is the leading manufacturer of “RFID-friendly” conveyors at major airports throughout the United States and Canada. The company produces RCS-6689™ non-metallic conveyors made from Brandonite™ high-performance composite polymers which has been certified for RFID use due to its superior performance for durability, strength, attenuation and reflectivity. “This is great news for our customers since the patent precludes others from making non-metallic conveyors or shortened non-metallic sections that may not hold up to the stringent performance requirements for RFID material handling applications”, said Carl W. Forsythe, CEO of KFGI. “As a result, our customers will now have the peace-of-mind in knowing that any RFID conveyor using non-metallic structural parts, slider beds and components will be tested, manufactured or licensed by KFGI.” The company also announced that it is expanding the range of conveyor sizes to meet increased customer demand for shorter and more compact conveyor sections. Beginning on July 15, KFGI will offer RCS-6689™ in 20-inch sections ranging from 20-inches to 120-inches. Customers will also be able to choose from slider-bed widths of 37-inches or 39-inches. “KFGI is committed to remain at the forefront of developing non-metallic solutions for material handling manufacturers and integrators”, said John Boodée, SVP-Material Handling Division. “We are particularly excited about offering our patented material and design technology to companies installing RFID applications.” he added. KFGI is a Dallas-based company that develops high-performance composite polymers to help manufacturers and distributors dramatically increase product performance. KFGI provides turn key research, design and production services and holds numerous patents related to composite materials and material handling products. Contact: Carl W.
