Toronto, Ont. - January 9, 2008 Conforce International, Inc. (OTC-PK: CFRI - "Conforce" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's revolutionary composite flooring product, EKO-FLOR®, has passed the internal testing and evaluation conducted by ATC Houthandel in The Netherlands.
For over 30 years, ATC has been providing trailer flooring to The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Norway, and the Czech Republic. The establishment of EKO-FLOR for the European trailer market was advanced in 2007 through the Company's joint cooperation with ATC. In October of 2007, ATC exhibited a sample of EKO-FLOR at The European Road Transport Show (TERTS) held in Amsterdam. The product received positive feedback from ATC customers who expressed interest in a viable, non- wood based flooring system that could withstand the required ISO 1496 forklift or rolling loads. ATC stated that in the past, it had tested several alternative wood- based and composite flooring products, however, none had been able to support the load requirements.
In December of 2007, Mr. Joseph DeRose, Vice President of Product Development for Conforce, was invited to witness the evaluation of EKO-FLOR at the ATC facility in Almelo, The Netherlands. According to Mr. DeRose, "EKO-FLOR exceeded load expectations and performed exceptionally well under simulated ISO 1496 forklift rolling conditions". Mr. DeRose added that "both Conforce and ATC are delighted that EKO- FLOR was the first product to meet ATC's internal requirements. As a result of our successful evaluation, we are confident that we will be able to realize significant revenues in 2008 through our on- going relationship with ATC".
