Thanks greekman, you provided what I was asking for before my post was made.
I think that this company has great products, but am fast coming to the conclusion that new management is urgently required before they really screw it up.

If you follow the Stanelco web link under Drivers research page I think you will see that the comments re the "new" ASDA exclusivity period is still present.

Does anyone here still keep in contact with PM1? If so, maybe one of you could could ask HIM to enlighten us what exactly is going on behind the scenes - as Paul always claimed to have good contacts within Stanelco?
I am no longer holding, as you know. But still keeping a watchful eye out for any signs of an update...

I posted it on FYB and ADVFN - just copied it back
From the SEO website, freshly put on today:-
Stanelco is pleased to announce that the exclusive agreement between ASDA and Stanelco for Stanelcos GreenSeal technology has been extended for a further 12 months. The exclusivity of the agreement will be waived after the first machine has been installed in an ASDA pack house, which will allow Stanelco to then offer GreenSeal to non exclusive ASDA sites.

Here it is. Copied this posting dated 27.7.06 at 23.00ish by garyble on FYB.
"Stanelco is pleased to announce that the exclusive agreement between ASDA and Stanelco for Stanelcos GreenSeal technology has been extended for a further 12 months. The exclusivity of the agreement will be waived after the first machine has been installed in an ASDA pack house, which will allow Stanelco to then offer GreenSeal to non exclusive ASDA sites."
It is interesting to note the wording ...
"Stanelco is pleased to announce .... Now why would they say that on their own website? Shouldn't they preferably say "We are pleased to announce ...." Its as though they were speaking in the third person which is what you would expect them to say in an official RNS. Anyone agree?
Another point, before I pick the announcement to pieces, is that it should have been dated. For anyone visiting the site for the first time, they would not know when the extension applied from. Another example of sloppy PR.
The fact that the exclusivity is going to be waived after the first installation of a machine, says to me that neither party expects this installation to happen very soon. It also says to me, that they are experiencing problems with the machines that neither party wishes to own up to.
Stanelco, because it contradicts what was said at the AGM and ASDA because it leaves egg all over their faces for putting their weight behind something that is taking so long to get off the ground. Remember it was ASDA that was supposed to have said they expected a few hundred machines to be installed within 12 months.
Lets face it, if either party were really confident that a machine would be commercially installed in real factory conditions very quickly, they would not have had to agree to the 12 month extension. Of course, there is the counter argument to this situation which says that they agreed to that statement on SEO's website to keep ASDA's competitors at bay for the forseeable future. But ASDA's competitors are unlikely to be visiting the website on a daily basis and, therefore, they would not see it.
And if that was their intention, why has the announcement on their website been withdrawn after only four days?
Can anyone else detect the chaos and panic in North Road Southampton and also think that they are very close to a fish shop?

when I go through the link at the top of the page the ASDA info is present (after refreshing) but when I access the "Stanelco" site by an alternative route the ASDA info has gone.

Oblomov and nickrichards
I cannot see any statement on SEO' website about ASDA no matter what route I take to the site.
Can anyone else see the ASDA exclusivity extension on SEO's site and, if so, can you post the link please?
Thanks

I tried it , Alan, but still not there, No mention of Greenseal specifically, only traylidding and thermoforming.
Try doing it and then refreshing your page - I'm sure those still seeing it are reading it from there cache from when they looked before. You'll probably find you still see it if you click the link without even being connected to the internet.

Oblo,
On your cached link, there is an option at the top to see the current version of the page. Click it, Click the word Home and you will see it again!!!

Alan - still dont get it - there is now a piece about Frogpack where the ASDA piece was!
How very strange!
Maybe SEO have selected those they want to know, and you're one of those, I'm not!!!
