Di: super to have you back. Your prescience is remarkable: out at the right time; back in at the right time, hopefully. greekman has it right. The hand of cards is good with plenty of trumps; last time they built a house of cards on poor foundations. This time they seem to be getting it right.

Blimmy where have you been hiding.

urmmmmmmmmmmm....making money elsewhere...KMR 14p-46p still hold ..NOP 50p-150...HYR 17p-34 still hold, GFM 30-89p..(had to sell alot of GFM as 75% of my portfolio was GFM due to profits so I have used the profit to buy SEO, CHP, GOO,VML, EPD and I still money spare cos my profit was really good.
Now I hope to make money on SEO again :-)

Eric,

Yes the micro manufacturing will be in suppliers factories, not at the suppliers of food to Wal*Mart, but at the suppliers of film and trays to the food processors.

I still doubt there is anywhere in the UK where Starpol is currently being formed into trays and film, the plant in Wales is going to be a while before it is commisioned, and I think all ASDA trays and film for trials is being shipped in from Biotec.

I still see no point in Tyson looking at a micro-manufacturing plant, it's not really their bag, they chop up animals and pack them in gas, they don't make trays and film, but they would be very interested in seeing full speed commercial production, with Starpol trays and film being Greensealed :)

Think about that one tray in the EVO note, 75,000 tons of Starpol and 500 Greenseal conversions, not bad for the first US order !

I knew Walmart were big, but not that big. ( The following brief extract is taken from an article by Stephen Lendham Vheadlines.com ). It's Dated today. Just look how Walmart have expanded from 1999 to 2005.

Of the world's 100 largest economies, 51 are corporations.
The combined sales of the world's biggest 200 corporations (called "The Group" ) in 1999 equaled 27.5% of world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and are growing faster than overall global economic activity.
The Group's combined sales exceed the total combined economies of all nations in the world except the largest 10.
The largest employer in the world, Walmart, employed 1,140,000 in 1999 (1.6 million in 2005) or 5% of The Group's total employment.
End of extract.

If/when SEO do get Walmart contracts signed and sealed, it can only be the start of something massive. Notice the if/when. I am as confident in SEO as I have ever been, but as we all know nothing is certain.

JJS,

Re Tyson....Tyson and many other companies may soon have to alter their pack in gas packaging if the scare stories re this gas gather momentum. It's been shown that these gases mask quality, conditioned meats.

Ban Sought on Use of Carbon Monoxide to Fix Meat Color
Published on: February 21, 2006

Millions of Americans may be buying beef or seafood that has been treated with carbon monoxide as a "pigment fixative" in other words, carbon monoxide has been used to keep the product's pink or rosy color in an effort to keep it looking fresh. The problem is that sometimes the color may be fresh-looking, but the meat or seafood may actually be spoiled. Critics are challenging the Food and Drug Administration and the nation's powerful meat industry, saying the agency violated its own rules by allowing the practice without a formal evaluation of its impact on consumer safety.

Dynamite
After all that success welcome back, I hope you bring some luck to this stock it needs it.

If memory serves me correct in the latest EVO report, it mentioned that three of SEO's the five main products are rated as best in the world ... at present ... for the solutions they provide.

If WalMart does place an order with SEO, given their size and power, surely, or just maybe, Starpol and Greenseal will become one of the de facto standards for packaging around the world for companies that are being environmentally sound.

The oily one

PS Any more questions for the AGM?

Greekman,

Very true, I think Carbonmonoxide will be banned, and that will mean packers and retailers looking for something that can prolong shelf life and taste, without the negatives of Carbonmonoxide, ie Greenseal.

Great reading some encouraging posts. So thanks to JJS, greekman, oilywag. Plus, dynamite of course who goes where the explosive action is! I expect what WalMart want, Tyson give them. I expect what Tyson want, their packaging supplier gives them. By gum, the mind boggles at the future for Stanelco.

Eric

Oily,

The EVO note said the following

"We have had detailed discussions with one of Stanelco's major US supporters, a household name with sales over 10Bn. It's head of packaging and development rated Stanelco a world leader in 3 out of 5 categories of sustainable products. This has given us great confidence in Stanelco's near-term prospects in North America"

P.S. I think that household name could be Perseco

JJS

Thanks for blowing the cobwebs from my mind. I've edited my previous post to correct the error.

The oily one

Oilywag I will try to get to the AGM but don't land at LHR till 1300 so will be cutting it a bit fine.Look out for a late arrival with a black bag!Hope you will post any replies, you might be lucky enough to get,here in any event. Many thanks in anticipation.Mad Pad.

Wal-Mart is planning a packaging fair April 21 in Bentonville, inviting about 50 packaging suppliers to present ideas to make its products more sustainable. It has signed initial development agreements with a number of suppliers to test new ideas.

One of those agreements is with London-based Stanelco, a maker of radio-frequency sealing technologies and a top-tier processor of PLA-based Starpol 2000. Wal-Mart wants to fast-track development of Starpol for use in Wal-Mart products, Stanelco officials said.

For Oilywag.

Please ask the Directors the following:

1. Why have the company changed their stance regarding the lack of updates in the last year.

2. What are the problems with Greenseal? When will the company sort them out? Don't take any bull. (They obviously haven't or else there would have been an RNS to say that they had).

3. Given that the company has a lot of potentially commercial products, why hasn't the company sorted out their management structure to reflect the incredible possibilties the company has, and so minimize the poor publicity the company has.

4. Please ask Howard White why he is residing in the UK, and making the occasional trips to the USA. As he is President of Starpol USA, I would have assumed that he was living in the USA and making the occasional trip to the UK. Not good.

5. Martin Wagner was originally taken on to implement the commercialization of Greenseal. Then he was promoted to CEO. Who is now responsible for the commercialisation? And what is Ian Balchin doing nowadays?

I have been very long in Stanelco for a couple of years, and am disappointed in the lack of progress, and information, coming out of the company.

Please don't let the directors fob you off with non answers. If necessary keep asking the question until you get a proper answer. Sorry to be pedantic but we have had little reassurance from the directors for a long time.

Stanelco Plc (``Stanelco'' or ``the Company'') -- STARPOL 3000 Moves towards Full Commercialization

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2006--Stanelco Plc (LSE:SEO), the radio frequency applications group, is pleased to announce that its joint owned subsidiary Biotec has successfully overcome the final technical hurdles to full commercialization in the development of its revolutionary STARPOL 3000 biodegradable, rigid material.


STARPOL 3000 is a multi layer material that produces a clear plastic type material from a combination of starch materials. This material can be produced at a discount to conventional plastic materials such as APET and Polypropylene. It exhibits high gas barrier properties and is produced from 100% sustainable materials, is entirely suitable for most packaging applications and could revolutionize the plastics market. It can be thermoformed easily, can be supplied in a range of colors and unlike conventional plastics is not susceptible to oil price fluctuations.

The company is engaged in substantive commercial negotiations with a number of large end users including some of the world's biggest companies and with several converters who will be considering Micro Manufacturing Facility contracts around STARPOL 3000. Each MMF will contribute approximately GBP 4 million per annum per 20,000 ton licence plus a small percentage of end product sale price.

The level of interest and the support we are receiving from some of the world's biggest companies affirms Stanelco's view that no other company in the world is able to compete with STARPOL 3000 and it is envisioned that this material will soon become an environmentally and cost effective alternative to APET and Polypropylene (PP).

The revolutionary material can be used for most packaging scenarios where clear plastic is required and has enormous market opportunities. The market that it will be replacing is in the magnitude of millions of tons and this market will be entered into by a substantial number of micro manufacturing plants that will enable converters to manufacture their own resin, thereby ensuring their supply of material and also adding value to their supply chain.

The product has zero petroleum content, and its pricing into the market is determined solely by the price of plastic and bears no relation to manufacturing cost. Therefore the initial pricing will be targeted at approx 10% less than current plastic material in substantial quantity and this will then track the price of APET/PP.

Martin Wagner, Chief Executive of Stanelco, commented: "We are very excited about the potential of our STARPOL 3000 product. Having passed through these final technical tests, we will be moving at pace towards full commercialization and the interest levels from end users and converters has been immense."

Thanks for those questions.

I know that I did ask for penetrating questions, but I really did not want them (the board) to be skewered!!!

Lol(ling about)

Papalpower

Great find , good post.

The oily one

I'm a bit slow at the moment, but doesn't it strike you as odd that Walmart and Tyson should be visiting next week?
Next week also being the AGM?
My simple mind says that the board should be concentrating on the AGM, and its presentation. Unless of course, Walmart and Tyson are part of that presentation.
Co-incidence? Perhaps.
