ICI and Axion International Sign an MOU to Form a Strategic Relationship

02/02/2010 11:21pm

Marketwired Canada


Innovative Composites International Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IC) ("ICI" the "Company"),
is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU")
with Axion International Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:AXIH) ("Axion") a US technology
innovator utilizing recycled plastic for high-load industrial products. Under
the terms of the MOU the companies will utilize their respective complementary
technologies in several projects and exchange thermoplastic products know-how. 


ICI has utilized Axion's patented thermoplastic material in the design of the
state-of-the-art composite containers developed jointly by ICI and Universal
Storage Containers, LLC ("USC"), a privately held US company that is the
exclusive marketer and distributer of the finished containers, under the
Z2-Box(TM) name. ICI is supplying the Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic ("FRT")
outer panels for the side walls, floor and ceiling, and Axion's material will be
specifically used for the structural components of these containers, including
flooring substructure, corner posts and interphase connectors. 


"We are pleased to assist both ICI and USC in the development of these
cutting-edge, eco-friendly, light-weight containers, which are made from 100%
recyclable material and are poised to revolutionize the marketplace," stated
Axion CEO, Jim Kerstein. "The relationship with ICI provides a platform to
utilize our high-load thermoplastic structural components combined with ICI's
fiber reinforced paneling in a number of projects that can provide a significant
additional source of revenue for us."


The Z2-Box(TM) product line will be targeted for storage, moving and other
related industries. The containers will be made of 100% recyclable materials
that can be stacked three (3) high, and each are engineered to support up to
10,000 lbs. of uneven weight. Axion's thermoplastic technology accounts for
approximately 20% of the container's total weight. Based on market demand and
successful ramp up phase ICI is expected to supply projected annual quantities
approximating $8 million to USC. 


Terry Ball, ICI's Chief Executive Officer said, "Axion's thermoplastic material
is an important component of the Z2-Box(TM) design, supplying the high-load
support structure of the containers. We look forward to future cooperation with
Axion on additional high volume projects such as our affordable housing design.
The combination of our FRT panels and Axion's beams create a thermoplastic
structural system that will open up new exiting markets for both companies."
