Energy Composites Corporation Receives MEGA Order for Composite Tanks

Energy Composites Corporation a leading provider of composites-based solutions to the clean-tech sector apprised that it has received the largest composite structure fabrication purchase order in the Company’s history. Under the multi-million dollar agreement, ECC will fabricate 76 large diameter chemical storage tanks for a global mining leader’s new nickel processing plant in Newfoundland. Production begins in August and runs throughout the remainder of 2010 and much of 2011. ECC will complete its work on the project under a subcontract from its strategic
partner in Canada, AC Plastiques.

ECC will produce 76 vertical, fiber-wound tanks in diameters from 20 feet to 6 feet. ECC’s corrosion resistant tank design makes use of Derakane Epoxy Vinyl Ester resins from Ashland Inc. As well as boron-free Advantex ECR glass from Owens Corning. The Company’s logistics advantages include the opportunity to ship completed tanks by barge from the lake port at Manitowoc, WI to the final destination in Newfoundland. ECC will complete engineering and design work on the project shortly and then initiate production next month.
