Email sent as requested.

I said at 11.30 that this has further to fall,,these will be a bargain at some point , but when?? there needs to be some news of a deal,, trials are fine , but we need sales..

Did we just hit the bottom ?

I notice that as the buys and sells are flowing in, the buy volume is maintaining 1.5m less than sold volume, but buy volume is picking back up, and we may well end up on level volume, but down on S.P at the end !

Cheers,
PM

Packagers moves: Stanelco buys Biotec, Berry buys Kerr

07/06/2005 - UK-based Stanelco said yesterday it has acquired Biotec, a company based in Germany that makes starch-based polymer packaging for the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Stanelco, which markets a method to seal plastic food-tray packages using radio frequency technology, said the $25m (20m) purchase from E. Khashoggi Industries would give it access to Biotec's proprietary pharmaceutical grade film. The film can be used to replace conventional polymers such as gelatine.


Stanelco currently uses Biotec's starch products for making food trays, air pillows and edible packaging. Biotec's film has a cost base of between US$5 to US$8 per kilogramme, a cheaper alternative to gelatine and other materials.

"Biotec is one of the world's leading exponents of starch technology and has a considerable intellectual property portfolio, including many patents, extending to uses in pharmaceutical and edible applications," Stanelco said in a press release. "It also has ranges of products that are ready for commercialisation within the food and beverage industries."

Biotec portfolio of products includes thermoplastic starch, which can be substituted for petrochemical based plastic packaging. Stanelco said its radio frequency sealing technology can be used to process starch polymers without the degradation caused by other methods such as thermal processing.

Stanelco's chief executive officer, Ian Balchin, said the purchase will help the company develop alternatives to petroleum-based packaging.

Currently APET/PE sheet for making food trays costs about 1.70 (2.5) per kilo. Stanelco hopes to bring the price of the Biotec packaging alternative down to about 1.80 (2.67) per kilo, he said.

"I believe the acquisition positions the Stanelco group to take advantage of this rapidly expanding market place and specifically it will enable Stanelco to offer its product ranges that contain starch product at up to 20 per cent less than is currently available," Balchin said.

The acquisition also creates a further barrier to entry for any company hoping to compete with Stanelco's radio frequency sealing technology, he said. Biotec's managing director, Harald Schmidt, will have a three year service contract with Stanelco and will remain as managing director of Biotec.

Biotec also makes polymers for injection moulding and film extrusion used for packaging and disposable cutlery. Last year Stanelco acquired the assets of Adept Polymers, a water-soluble polymer manufacturer.

Balchin said that with the rise in oil prices, the cost of petroleum-based packaging materials is increasing faster than alternatives such as starch.

As reported previously in FoodProductionDaily.com Stanelco use of radio frequency technology to seal plastic tray packages of perishable food was launched in the UK in a trial partnership with the ASDA supermarket chain. In May the company opened an office in Orlando, Florida in a bid to target ASDAs parent company, Wal-Mart, along with Albertson's, Kroger's and Safeway.

Have just topped up with another 63000 shares and once again there not showing on moneyam.My broker is T.D.Waterhouse,could someone explain why there not showing?

driver, what email?? what request?? are you having one of those days again?

Pisces Hi,

Well done !

They must have a system that sends the trades later on, maybe they only send their trades every hour or every 30 minutes.

Bit of a rollercoster ride this morning. I imagine lots of folk will have been shaken out today. For the majority of the time the MMs were soaking up the sells quite happily. Time to keep one's nerve, nearly lost it at one point, but kept reminding myself of the potential. Any company that splashes out $25 million is obviously very confident of their own future, so why shouldn't we be?

Yes I agree pth, I been here a while now and was tested this morning, but like you I've held my nerve and hopefully it has bounced

Added a small top up at 22.75p.

Don't understand why people sell after yesterday's news - only know that they do, but the fundamental value of yesterday's news will out in the end (and quite soon, I anticipate).

BTW, Mr Kashoggi's ex brother in law is none other than Mohamed Fayed who owns Harrods. Do you think they will be using the new tray lids and going biodegradable with all their packaging?? Fat chance, I reckon!

Topped up four times this morning - again through TDW - only two showing in the buys so far, on Moneyam !!! Agree with you pth - patience will pay well , in not too distant future.

TDW aggregate their orders. yours will show later i expect as part of a larger trade. might even show as a sell.
