Integral Announces Launch of Hanwha L&C's ElectriPlast® Line



Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTC-BB: ITKG) ("Integral"), an emerging leader in hybrid conductive plastics, and its wholly owned subsidiary ElectriPlast Corp., announced today that Hanwha L&C, a global high-tech materials maker based in South Korea, has launched its dedicated production line for ElectriPlast, Integral's patented line of hybrid conductive plastics.


"Integral and Hanwha L&C established a manufacturing base in South Korea because we both believe in the long-term strength of the ElectriPlast market in Asia," said Doug Bathauer, CEO of Integral. "Its strategic location will enable the supply of ElectriPlast to South Korea's consumer electronics industry, which is one of the largest in the world, as well as to China's world-leading auto market. Along with Hanwha L&C, we look forward to tremendous growth in these industries in the years to come, while we strive to provide ElectriPlast to customers across Asia. We expect ElectriPlast to become the predominate hybrid conductive plastic utilized in Asia."


In June 2013, Integral and Hanwha L&C signed a 10-year agreement that grants Hanwha L&C exclusive rights to sell distribute and manufacture ElectriPlast in South Korea, plus non-exclusive sales and distribution rights to ElectriPlast in Japan, Taiwan and China. Founded in 1965, Hanwha L&C develops and supplies global automakers with a variety of composite lightweight automotive materials. In 2012, Hanwha L&C entered the touch screen panel market, and it is now supplying key components such as ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) glass and ITO film for smart mobile devices.


Integral's proprietary line of non-corrosive, electrically conductive resin-based materials—ElectriPlast—is engineered to replace traditional metals such as steel or aluminum. Typically used for electrical and magnetic shielding applications in such industries as automotive, aerospace and consumer electronics, ElectriPlast can be molded into any of the infinite shapes and sizes associated with plastics, rubbers and other polymers while reducing component weight by 40% to 60%.

Didn`t Jasper Rubber do all these same things 7 years ago? How much revenue have they created?

No. They're Jasper Rubber, not Jasper Plastics.

Its interesting to note that Hanwha is not saying anything. You would think that an industry-leading multi-billion dollar company would be:
- posting this new "disruptive technology" on their website
- advertising their new EP products in the trade literature
- making their own press releases on their investment.

But nothing.

Instead we have ITKG doing all the talking (as usual) and the stock proce is back to 30 cents.

Yes, it is a troublesome thought, isn't it? And the same holds true in the case of BASF. I contacted a PR quoted BASF rep and asked some questions about their described published relationship. He verified the relationship with Integral. At the same time, BASF has not published anything on the line of what you're saying about Hanwha. Hope that puts your mind at ease... did mine.

You raise a good point. In addition, some may have not heard this in the call, but BASF is supplying material to Hanwha for production of Electriplast. Large companies do not always shout from the top of mountains that they have a new material. This may sound counter intuitive, but if you were a Hanwha, Delphi, BASF, etc. wouldn't you prefer to approach your customers on an individual basis and let them know what you can provide them with? Everyone looks for a competitive advantage including BASF and their customers. If companies such as the aforementioned start making public announcements they give away that competitive advantage. A few more items for consideration, these three large companies did not become the size they are by accident (smart management, asset utilization, etc.), once you get to be their size it is that much more difficult to grow (i.e. 3% of a billion vs. 3% of a million), and finally don't underestimate who is watching the aforementioned companies and what they do (think along the lines of competitors).

One more point, do not underestimate the value of customer relationships. They can be a valuable intangible asset...

Intangible assets are indeed valuable, especially when after 7 years of commercialization efforts you don`t have a single tangible asset.

fair enough. The intangible assets need to be monetized. That is one point that both the shareholders and nay sayers can agree on. If it happens, the intangible asset value of ITKG will increase exponentially, very quickly I might add.

Ye, I love that "very quickly" part.

what happened to everyone on this blog? Vince, you still here?

Wow. This blog used to be pretty active even when there was nothing going on. Now the stock price doubled and it's crickets. I still remain cautiously optimistic, but the recent news and stock rise is at least a breath of fresh air and feels a little more exciting than the ephemeral spikes of the past.

Hi all,

This has been one of Integral's most active seasons, and the fun, according to those on the inside with a finger to the pulse, is only expected to continue.

Unfortunately, for the past quarter I've been limited in how I could either re-post & publish EP related events as they were taking place on the ground, especially when armed with only an iPhone for the most part.

Those limits will change shortly, as I am on the tail-end of what has turned into summer-long TDY to Vicenza. Until then, I thought it best to let Integral speak for itself -- one tidbit to share (or as I am pecking this out, 'refer' is a best choice word) with all would be some of the recent postings and analytical assessments as seen on seekingalpha.com.

Take a look...

Until then, cheers from the Heart of Italy, PK sends...
