What would be really usefull right now is another broker report by T&G or someone. Just to throw a bit of independent light on what is happening on the good ship SEO.
I feel happier today with them than i have for many a long month, but I still have a nagging feeling that there is a huge part of the jigsaw just tantalisingly out of reach.
Don't know whether it is a good or bad part, but you know the feeling. There is something I feel I have missed, and it is something obvious. I just can't work it out. Perhaps its just a touch of SEO paranoia.

Wouldn't a Directors appointment warrant an RNS?

UK-Analyst report of today's
A contract extension with supermarket giant Asda, helped lift the shares of Stanelco rise 0.225p to 5.175p. The group said its agreement to supply its Greenseal food packaging technology to Wal-Mart's UK supermarket unit had been extended for another year, but is now no longer exclusive to ASDA suppliers. Up until this contract extension, a significant hurdle for the business had been identifying packing lines that were exclusively for ASDA usage. By removing this obstacle Stanleco can now effectively offer its GreenSeal technology to any user.

Cantlose,

I'd expect so, similarly I'd expect the loss of one also to warrant an RNS. As someone also commented, if us poor PI's wanted to be better informed perhaps we should become journalists.

Its interesting that the sequencing of news is a tad awry: Extension of ASDA contract published on website days before RNS....

I've been digging.
Was I the only one unaware of the difference between Starpol 2000 and Starpol 3000?
Just in case anyone out there is as dense as I, 2000 was not available as a clear plastic, only coloured in your choice. I can spot the problem right there for food retailers who want you to see just how green and fresh their produce is.
3000 is available in a clear format. Big improvement.
I wonder how much of the delay was caused by the end product being unsuitable for Asda shelves because the contents would be invisible.
Just a thought.
Alan

hewittalan6 - i was unaware. But ASDA knows 3000 is on the way.
what happened to the earlier RNS whereas SEO mentioned that as soon as one machine is in place then the exclusivity rights will be waived.

rajstar,
My info is that a machine is, as we speak, swinging into full production and its wares will be available at Asda stores within a very few weeks. That is why the exclusivity is over.
This info is as I posted the other day, and if it is right, then the company using it supply just about anyone you care to mention, through their parent companies. I am also informed that any following orders will be based on feedback from stores and customers.
Cannot verify it, but there you go.
Alan

Starpol 3000 was bought out for the sole reason (as far as I can discover) of clarity of container product. There is still a market for Starpol 2000, where the clarity is not important such as coffee, rice, packet soups where the whole packet is added to boiling water with no waste or spillage. Also low cost Starpol biodegradable materials can be used in a range of air pillows used as packaging to fill voids. It would make sense to use Starpol 2000, for these applications if it is cheaper than Starpol 3000, but unfortunately I am unable to discover this fact.
Anyone assist.

H6 - tks

Hewittalan,morning,do you by any chance know which packhouse this machine is working in?I am in contact with a supplier to ASDA and might just be able to find out exactly what they(ASDA)think of greenseal.Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry Pad, but if i put that info on here i may well be in a lot of trouble with my source.
I am desperately trying to think of a way to let you know without compromising the source, but I am struggling.
Will come back to you if i can do it without compromise.
Alan

Alan I appreciate that but am trying to make it easier for my contact ,instead of ringing round all the packhouses.Maybe if you could tell me what they are packing?Also we allready know about Hitchen and Grampian,anyone know of any others?

They package salads. I really am xxxxx to tell you. ;-)
Alan

Thanks see my edited message!!!Will report if I get to find out anything.

Blimey Alan,

Even I got that one....delete it quickly if I were you!

(My info is that a machine is, as we speak, swinging into full production and its wares will be available at Asda stores (( within a very few weeks.)) !!!!

Do you mean few days alan, what food can be packed and last a few weeks even in starpol, sealed on a greenseal machine?

No. A few weeks. As i said. Swinging INTO full production. Not in full production. I do not know details, but my guess is a wait for an Asda launch announcement or for sufficient new consumables for the machine so that when it does start, it stays started, rather than a stop start roll out of the packaging.
Only a guess, and I did also say in an earlier post it is in the final stages of "proving" though god knows what that means.
Alan

alan,
Any idea how many other machines are present at this packer?

None whatsoever, Tweenie.
(No idea that is, not no machines)!!!
alan

BTW. Please remember that the info i have posted over the last few days is from a single, untested source and I cannot be definite that the info is accurate. I believe it to be because the detail I have been given is quite deep, but I cannot guarantee it.
I hope either this weekend or possibly next week to verify at least some of it. I will let you know if I do.
Alan
