I assumed that to robinhood.
But I thought on a earlier post (weeks ago) that Biotec were at 200000 tons!

Just a reasonable slice of that $42 Billion would be good. (see below).
The report looks at getting the balance between the true cost of environmental packaging with it's true cost.

Sustainable Food and Beverage Packaging Market to Surpass $42 Billion by 2010.
Dec. 08, 2006.

As the collective U.S. consciousness slowly accepts the idea of sustainable and eco-friendly products, manufacturers and retailers have responded, particularly in the food and beverage industry where shipments of sustainable or green packaging exceeded $37 billion in 2005, according to Sustainable (Green) Packaging Market for Food & Beverages, a new report from market research publisher Specialists in Business Information (SBI).

Mineworkers' Pension Scheme a/c: R 170,570,438

TOTAL 421,948,469

Looks like SIM think we have bottomed then ?

I recall that the capacity of Biotec was to be upped to 20,000 tonnes pa. for an investment of 1.5m each {SPhere and SEO}, the aim was to achieve maximum capacity early 2007.

RNS 26th July 2005:

"Stanelco, the RF (radio frequency) applications group is pleased to announce
that it has received a conditional commitment from SP Metal its Joint Venture ('
JV') partner in Biotec for an annual purchase of approximately 10,000 metric tonnes of Biotec's biodegradable pellet worth in excess of 20m per year"

Also RNS re: EGM - 30th August 2005:

"Stanelco and SP Metal had initially agreed to increase Biotec's production
capacity of biodegradable pellets to at least 12,000 metric tonnes within nine
months via a joint investment programme of up to 4.5m. However due to further
recent improvements in both the production procedures and the ability to process
the materials, a capacity of 24,000 tonnes for an investment of 2m is now envisaged within the same period"

and "pre-close statement" 16th December 2005:

"The relationship with SPhere is working well. We are on schedule to substantially increase in 2006 the production capacity of these materials - including Starpol to 20,000 tonnes by early 2007"

The relatively small sale by Schroders (or correction to holding) brought the doom and gloom merchants out. This more than offsets the reduction in holding so where are they now?

It's just a flesh wound!

Schroders made a few bob on the last lot they sold, don't you think it possible that they may do the same again?

I suspect Schroders work in terms of millions of quid rather than a few bob! They are also reasonably patient provided that they have some control over events, which we do not have.

Stanelco plc (the Company)

Personnel Update

Stanelco is pleased to announce that Dave Wetters has joined the Companys management board as Sales Director. Dave is an acknowledged expert in the sale of technical machinery and compounding resins. He has 25 years experience working in the industry, including 10 years as regional Sales Manager for APV, the leading polymer processing company. Of particular relevance to Stanelco is his considerable experience in working across global markets which will prove valuable as the Company takes its expertise into new market places across the world.

Other recent changes to the management team include the departure of Bruce Drew, who was Managing Director of the Aquasol division, and Graham Whitchurch, Managing Director of Adept Polymers. The management board will assume responsibility for these divisions.

In addition, as part of a continual review of Stanelcos cost base, the management has recently undertaken a number of measures to reduce its cost base and increase efficiency within the Company, including:

A continued reduction in headcount at the Companys Southampton Head Office. A consultation exercise is currently taking place at the Companys head office in Southampton over a number of administrative and technical staff;
The US office function has been realigned and Dave Wetters will now lead our US initiative from the UK head office. He will be supported by the Companys on the ground consultants who have performed well over the last 12 months. These changes will ensure consistency and accuracy in all communications across the US, with the intention of building on excellent relationships we have developed there. As a result, the Companys US office has been closed.
A strategic review has been implemented at the Adept Polymer operations and in particular the PVOH manufacturing business. This review is ongoing.
The Directors believe that all these initiatives will help Stanelco to deliver on its exciting potential for the benefit of all its shareholders.

New sales director appointed see stanelco website under current news

well I was not far out re the appointment of a sales director

It would not surprise me now to see a contract or two announced in the next couple of weeks. This is the sort of time frame that MW indicated it would take to get negotiations completed - ie 5 - 6 weeks after approval of funding.

I am beginning to think that Martin and the finance chap have got the balls for this job. Clearing out is not an easy job to do - but it does get rid of all those supporters of Howard White and Ian Balchin and draws a line under the "old regime".

Expect to see things starting to come together now. slowly but assuredly - dont expect miracles overnight

'the Companys US office has been closed'

'The Directors believe that all these initiatives will help Stanelco to deliver on its exciting potential for the benefit of all its shareholders'

How exactly will closing the US office help it 'deliver on its exciting potential'?

'Dave Wetters will now lead our US initiative from the UK head office'

How can that be better that leading the US initiative fom a US office?

If there was much going on in the US, you would think there would need to be a permanant presence of some sort. With 14m in the bank, a small office presence would hardly break the bank.

The words 'going' and 'backwards' spring to mind.

I like the idea of a sales director, though, even if it is long overdue. Lets hope he has something to direct!

.......benefit the shareholders.
LOL or else I'd cry.
