I've been rattling on about this for ages. SEO will NOT announce very conversion. Now if they received notification that a supplier was converting 10 machines (inotherwords a quite a chunk) then maybe we might get to see an RNS.
What we may get is an updated RNS of conversion for every 3 months or so.
IMHO

qc, baza, fair comment about the option of seo ducking out of the asda deal. i hadn't looked at it that way. but i stand by my other comments. seo release an rns when they change toilet paper. the first greenseal rns was for 1, the second was for 1 plus an option for a further 3. since then, nada. the egm stated the 5 we know about. so since that second rns there has been nothing. anyone care to check the date of that second rns? if memory serves, i think it was june.

This whole issue of ASDA orders is getting well out of control.
ASDA have a 12 month contract, not 3. They have to deliver in that year period and thats all.
Things I have heard seem to point to ASDA having issues dealing with the proposed Greenseal project and have had to do some shuffling of resources, thus causing the present delay. The future seems just as rosey as before, but just a little later.
There is nothing I can see that worries me, other than SEO trying to bite too much at once.

Hi All,
Polymer manufacturers are getting hit hard by the rising costs of oil, that is then being passed down the line to petro-plastic manufacturers, then onto plastics film and tray suppliers, then onto packaging houses, and then to retail. It's a long chain where each adds a PERCENTAGE to the cost, it multiples down the chain, so that the one who faces the biggest increase is the RETAILER.
Starpol plus Greenseal is a no-brainer, as are all stanelco's starch-based products. Cheaper than petro-plastics, and also has less people in the chain to add percentages on for themselves.
Take it easy, sit back and wait for the deals to come in over the next few years, and watch SEO rise up the FTSE.
Cheers,
PM
Ticona increases prices for polymers
Further rise in raw materials, energy and freight costs
Kelsterbach, September 21, 2005 Effective from October 17, 2005, Ticona, the technical polymers business, is increasing the prices of polyacetal, polyester products (PET, PBT, blends, and elastomers), and long-glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. The company is reacting to the sharp rise of raw materials prices on the world market within the past few weeks, as well as the further shortage of preliminary products. Amongst other factors, the continuously high costs for fuel have also led to an increase in freight rates.
Over the past few years, the price of some intermediates and raw materials has more than doubled, and just in recent months there has been yet another considerable increase. As a consequence of the increasing prices of raw materials the costs for transport are also increasing globally. "Energy costs continuously climb, too", explains Michael Oberste-Wilms, Head of Sales Europe at Ticona.
"Within the past few months we have been discussing with many clients and suppliers the sustainability of higher raw materials and energy costs, which have increased steadily since end of 2004. Today, we have to accept that we are far away from normalisation. Despite great efforts, we are no longer able to compensate for the increasing pressure on costs by an increase in productivity alone."

Hi All,
I told you there would be new products arriving ....
Stanelco Debuts PulsLine(R) Solution for Tamper-Evident, Anti-Counterfeit Security
Labeling
Stanelco PLC (LSE:SEO) introduces PulsLine(R), the
latest intelligent, anti-counterfeit label on the market. Designed to
protect against fraud and product tampering, PulsLine is currently
available in the United States and United Kingdom, and is used to
safeguard products in the food, information technology, airline,
pharmaceutical and automotive industries as well as many others.
When applied to form a seal, PulsLine provides evidence of
tampering which can be detected both visually and electronically,
vastly increasing the safety and integrity of a secured product.
Following ten years of research and development by the experts at
Aquasol, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stanelco, PulsLine is the first
labeling system of its kind to use a unique patented multi-layer
laminate construction. The applications are almost endless and offer
protection and security in all retail environments.
Utilizing a security thread derived from the bank note industry,
PulsLine identifies products as genuine. For enhanced security,
PulsLine is designed to incorporate un-copyable bio-codes, DNA, radio
frequency identification tags and holograms. Additionally, the thread
can be micro-printed with a company name or logo, which can be
revealed by removal of a unique tab pull. Additionally, the security
thread has a tactile feel so those who are visually impaired can
verify the authenticity of their purchased products.
"It took several years of research and testing, but now we are
ready to launch PulsLine," said David Edwards, product development
director, Aquasol. "The development of the PulsLine took years because
the adhesive had to be strong. Now PulsLine is the latest
anti-counterfeit, anti-tampering security label available."
In the past, counterfeiters have cut under product security seals
in a manner not visually apparent, tampered with the products, then
resealed them with the intent of returning the product to a retailer.
With PulsLine, a retailer can scan the seal and it will stop where the
knife cut the seal, exposing the fraud.
Designed to carry advanced anti-counterfeiting features, PulsLine
can be continually updated to ensure that companies stay at least one
step ahead of counterfeiters.

So what will happen to the share price - it will go up this morning and fall back to evens later on - or maybe just below Arrrrrrrrggg. What we need are greenseal orders.
This is great stuff - but wasted on the market at the moment.

So, it begs the question....
Why do Stanelco want to re-announce information to the US but not in the UK? I could be really reading way to much into this but its certainly strange!

It looks like it could be a deliberate marketing campaign to get the SEO brand name a higher profile in the news in the States - so that when they do do a major announcement with a retailer - there is at least some brand awareness about SEO.
If so - then expect a drip feed of all the old news between now and the October packaging conference. Just a thought.
