RS Announces Transmission Order to Guatemala

CALGARY, June 17, 2011 /CNW/ -- 
CALGARY, June 17, 2011 /CNW/ - RS Technologies Inc. ("RS" or the
 "Company") (TSXV: RS.H), a technology innovator and manufacturer of
 advanced composite products for infrastructure markets, today announced
 that it has received an order for its RStandard(®) poles from Transportista Electrica Centroamericana, S.A. ("TRELEC"), a
 subsidiary of Empresa Eléctrica de Guatemala ("EEGSA").


The order from TRELEC is for approximately 60 poles ranging in height
 from 18 to 27 meters, all of which are expected to ship in six 40 foot
 intermodal shipping containers. This is RS's second order from TRELEC
 in 2011, following an initial pilot order shipped in the first quarter.


"The RStandard poles will be used by TRELEC to replace concrete poles
 carrying existing 69kV lines in our grid. In particular, the composite
 poles will be installed in locations where access is difficult," stated
 Manuel Eduardo Arita, manager with TRELEC.


About TRELEC and EEGSA
TRELEC, owned by EEGSA, is responsible for power transmission through
 its grid of 230kV and 69kV lines. EEGSA is Guatemala's privately held
 power distributor, serving customers in Guatemala City and outlying
 areas Sacatepéquez and Escuintla. EEGSA belongs to the investor group
 Empresas Publicas de Medellin (EPM), the largest company in Colombia in
 the public services sector.
