Could be. A lot depends on what current stockholders expect from the microcap conference next week. To me, it's just another brick in the wall. To others, I think some are counting on some kind of big announcement, such as finishing the audit and filing for OTCBB. That would be nice but my day won't end without--but it will end the day for pure speculators, which is how this game is played.
So yeah, next week will be interesting.

Mr. Turek noted that there are five main points he would like to demonstrate to the panel and conference attendees.

I Know this is a little old but this article is a little more detailed in the contract with R&S Manufacturing.
GTLA
Plasticon Announces Major Contract With R&S Manufacturing, One of the Largest Manufacturers and Suppliers of Concrete Post-Tension Construction Cable in the U.S. Contract with R&S Manufacturing Mirrors Industry Shift From Metal Rebar Support to Plastic Rebar Support Distribution Source : PrimeZone Media
Date : Wednesday - June 01, 2005
LEXINGTON, Ky., June 1, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Plasticon International Inc. (Pink Sheets:PLNI) today announced that the company has signed a major contract to supply R&S Manufacturing with nearly a half million dollars of recycled plastic rebar supports. Plasticon's patented rebar supports will be supplied to R&S's customers with their post-tension cable products.
"We are thrilled about this contract with R&S," said Mr. Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International. "But more importantly, we are very excited about establishing and growing the relationship with R&S Manufacturing. We believe that this deal, combined with our existing contract with the largest distributor of building materials in the U.S., will give Plasticon the ability to dominate our sector. Not only do we have an edge with product development and technology, we also have a definitive edge in terms of our distribution relationships and our partnerships with companies such as R&S."
R&S Manufacturing, which has been in business for over 20 years, is one of the leading post tension cabling suppliers in the United States. Post tensioning, which is used in slab construction, is a method of strengthening and reinforcing concrete using steel cables. "R&S's products and Plasticon's products will work together seamlessly, and will provide construction companies with the best in breed solution for strengthening concrete," Mr. Turek said.
Additionally, R&S Manufacturing has indicated an interest in supplying their clients with Semco, Inc.'s line of surfacing products, which reinforce and completely waterproof concrete. Plasticon recently signed a letter of intent to acquire Semco in a privately financed cash transaction. "Of course we are very encouraged to see that our new clients and partners are so interested in Semco's surfacing products. We are seeing the potential importance of that acquisition on the street level every day," said Mr. Turek.
Mr. Turek also noted that as an industry trend, it's significant to see companies like R&S Manufacturing moving towards recycled plastic rebar supports. "Of course, R&S manufactures and supplies steel cable. But it's notable that for rebar supports they are now shifting to recycled plastic supports which provide construction companies with a more durable, dependable, cost-effective solution. R&S Manufacturing, as one of the oldest, most trusted names in post tensioning cable sector, will have a major impact in our industry in terms of the acceptance of recycled plastic rebar supports as the industry standard."

To say PLNI will benefit from a highway bill is downright comical. These politicans have friends in high places with all the major material and construction companies. These are major players worth billions of dollars. There is no way that a small company like PLNI will be competing with multi billion dollar outfits like Lafarge for highway contracts.

You have to start somewhere Buck. Sounds like pretty cheep advertising to me. I spend nearly 5k for a half pager in my local fish wrap for an ad for one day and the phone book ad for a half page is 2k a month. Press releases and coverage of your company doesn't come cheep! We shall see what goodies Plasticon has for us this month. IMO, Lots of Great News coming our way and soon to the Big Boys like CNBC, WSJ and Fox and that reporting will be free, just for showing their Technoligy off relating to the highway bill.

I'm not sure what process is used in the states you all live in for rebuilding highway or bridges but, in the 12 states I have worked or lived in they use a hand tied rebar support system. Plasticons product eliminates the tieing process and snaps together like legos. Saves a boat load of time, labor cost and the expense of the ever rising cost of steel. Cheeper to ship and handle and I'm sure a lot cheeper than its steel counterpart. It is the ONLY product of its kind that is DOT approved. Best of all worlds. I thought all the DD was posted way back in the thread. Anyway, that is how it all ties in to the Highway bill. Or in this case; the lack of rebar tieing.

No way will Plasticon benefit from this highway bill. I'm not trying to bash here but the only way they can get in on this is if their plastic supports were to be a lot cheaper than the standard steel ones. The supply houses that sell rebar to concrete contractors practically give the supports away to make the sale on the rebar.
Now government buildings, that's another story. There's a lot of extra money to be had there. Plus, the architects, engineers, and the politicians can all get some PR mileage out of saying "This new facility was made with recyclable environmentally friendly materials". The public eats that stuff up. In some cases the State or the Fed may even subsidize the use of those materials.
And yeah, those highway contractors are all "connected", and not just to politicians. I know that for a fact.

I finished my second house this year and I can tell you they DO NOT give away the Steel rebar supports! I wish I had Plasticons product when I had poured the 24' by 150' driveway. And they have almost doubled in price from last year. Plasticons product is much cheeper and a lot lighter to handle , cheeper to ship, easier to use MORE MONEY to the Highway Contractors. And we all know the MONEY is what talks. So Why use steel? What is the point?

Man I lay dreamin...and PFC Gloria Steinem,
It's a good thing, better for you to be out. Your quote is timely and appropriate for the two of you...
Political Science 101 and....How the United States of America works and how your tax dollars are spent...A "Highway Bill" is a complicated political endeaver but for a quick down and dirty description it goes something like this...
A highway bill is an allocation of funds from the United States Congress designated for certain types of construction and related projects. Each state in turn gets an allocation of those funds. That allocation should be based on need.
Once the money is allocated (approved) it is dispensed after a bidding process based on a timetable that the projects are required to begin. If the bill is a three year bill then your tax dollars will be spread out over 36 months.
An RFP (Request For Papers) is sent out, bids are then submitted to the government authority, bids are awarded, contracts are signed and the checks are cut from Washington DC.
How the heck would anyone, any company, be connected yet????....The politicians are still fine tuning it...THE BILL HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED...Your friends in high places statement is a joke...The money goes to the states...each state get's a piece of a 50 slice pie...
Once it is signed PLNI will be allowed to be involved in the process just like anyone else is allowed to. It's a public bid process...This, afterall, is the United States of America...a free country...That's why veterans are proud to serve this great country....
Right PFC G. Steinem????? Maybe take a few classes on the political process you claim to have served...

Bearclaw, I don't doubt that there are "insider" tracks to these jobs--as our dim-bulb bashers proclaim PLNI can never achieve--but likewise I don't see anything to prevent this company from getting on that track. DOT approval, bid/process savvy, product saves time, product helps project last longer--what's the hangup?
There shouldn't be any hangup...Let the bill be signed ...hahahahah.
I'm just needeling someone who uses his rank and title innappropriately...Trying to get him to see the light or get rid of the title if he's going to bash and dishonor that title...
I'm just playin a little tonight with another Vet...

I'm a volunteer this week at a golf tournament to raise $$$$$ for the Boys and Girls Club...so...I won't be around a lot...I will be watching my L2's every chance I get. I have a feeling we will see some good movement by Wednesday...
I'd love to hear your cuzes input and what piece of this bill they are getting. My understanding is the bulk of the funds will be used for bridge repair, resurfacing needed older roads, replacing signs, upgrading entrances and exits and some new projects.
I have a friend moving to Dallas this month for her company...Just got her biker lisence and she'll be crusin Texas highways...Got the hat and the pin ready for this week...thanks.. Take care man

Because I directly work for the government in the contracts area, I can tell you a couple of things.
1) an RFP stand for Request for Proposal, not Request for Papers
2) Government contracts just about always go to very big integration companies. Construction is no different even when the contracts come from states and not the fed. The contracts are awarded to these integration companies who, then, subcontract the work to subcontractors. This is where PLNI fits in. Do not expect the government to award thousands of small contracts to small companies to build these roads or buildings. They hire a main company who is in charge of building the entire road (or building). They will contract PLNI for supplies.
I own a lot of PLNI, and I do think that is will be a success. However, forget about the government. Start looking at the major companies and who there partners are.

There is a larger connection to the Highway Bill than most would like to admit.
If they were going to give 1 billion dollars to Spaghetti manufactoring companies and I processed Tomato Sauce...
It never was a "direct" connection, but rather a residual effect that is going to be wonderful in this regard: no matter who is awarded money for projects, PLNI will be in play to offer it's products. That's the true significance of the HB signing.

I agree. PLNI has already strengthened its product with its acquisition of Semco. In addition, they have made its products more well known by contracts with R&S Manufacturing and Blulinx. I have trust in Jim Turek's salesteam that they can win many more contracts in the near future.
