Product Development

Ship In the Bottle (SIB) system
-The Company has broken new technological ground with the launch of its 'Ship In the Bottle' (SIB) System. SIB system's design and blow molding process internalizes all components into the tank and which were traditionally attached to the exterior of the fuel tank and exposed to the atmosphere, such as valves, lines and filters. The SIB System requires only one, or a maximum of two, openings in the tank shell, whereas in the past there was often up to six or seven. This, together with its robust connector technology, dramatically reduces the level of emissions from the fuel tank system.

Doublewall Tubing
-The Company's Doublewall tubing is designed to carry fluids at high pressure, as well as to provide greater assurance against leakage in low pressure applications. It is used extensively for hydraulic applications. The latest manufacturing techniques have allowed continuous brazing of double wall tube for precise control of the temperature and brazing conditions and can be coupled to other continuous processes, such as coating.

Fuel-tank System for the 2005 Ford GT
-The unique system includes the latest in fuel system technology and encloses fuel pumps, level sensors and other components inside a blow-molded plastic fuel tank to limit evaporative emissions. Referred to as a "ship in a bottle" or SIB design, the system was developed to help automakers meet stringent new evaporative emissions legislation, including LEV II and ZEV legislation in California. The Ford GT will be the world's first production car equipped with the Company's SIB technology.

<U.S.A.>
-In July 2005, the Company announced Hanil USA, a subsidiary of the Company, is developing a new, multi-million-dollar manufacturing facility in Tallassee, Alabama. The plant will assemble plastic and steel tube components used in fuel-system assemblies for vehicles produced at a Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama facility in Montgomery, Alabama. Construction will begin immediately. Hanil is renovating an existing 10,000-square-foot facility and adding 6,500 square-feet with a $2.3-million investment in construction and manufacturing equipment.

-In June 2005, the Company opened its $30 million state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to produce automotive fuel-tank systems. The plant, located off Interstate 85 at Exit 177 in northeast Georgia, initially will manufacture blow-molded plastic fuel tanks and filler pipes for vehicles built in nearby Southern states by BMW, DaimlerChrysler and Hyundai. This plant initially will employ 100 people and has booked business to produce more than 480,000 automotive fuel-tank systems annually, and it will begin pilot production in September of this year. A majority of the jobs will be filled later 2005 and early in 2006.
