Strategic Partnership With Bayer MaterialScience

Conforce International, Inc. (Other OTC:CFRI.PK - News) ("Conforce" or "Company") is pleased to announce that Conforce and Bayer MaterialScience have signed a definitive agreement establishing a strategic partnership between the two companies. Bayer MaterialScience LLC ("Bayer") is one of the world's leading polymer companies and is a division of the global conglomerate Bayer AG, a recognized leader in health care, nutrition and the development of advanced materials.

The objective of the partnership is to enable Conforce and Bayer to leverage their respective strengths as they work toward the successful commercialization of EKO-FLOR. The partnership will provide Conforce with key support in the areas of advanced design and material analysis, efficient production practices, technical know-how and expertise, and a global material supply chain consistent with the projected requirements of EKO-FLOR.

Jerry MacCleary, Bayer MaterialScience Senior Vice President, Head of Polyurethanes North America Marketing and Business Development, said that, "We see EKO-FLOR as one of our key growth projects and are committed to bringing Conforce our technology, expertise and global BaySystems network in order to make the commercialization of EKO-FLOR a success." The BaySystems global network is comprised of 30 system houses on six continents.

Conforce has developed EKO-FLOR cs-4, a polymer-based composite container flooring system engineered to create a cost-effective and environmentally responsible alternative to tropical hardwood and other wood-based flooring. Recent product enhancements include a significant reduction in weight resulting in a weight advantage of approximately 18% over plywood floors. The product also features an innovative surface shield developed jointly by Conforce and Bayer. The Company expects that key customer final product evaluations resulting from ocean-going trials will be completed during the third quarter of calendar 2009. Upon successful completion of the trials, the company anticipates receiving orders for shipments in 2009/10. Commencing in the second quarter of calendar 2010, the company plans to fulfil orders for EKO-FLOR cs-4 from a new state-of-the-art Conforce facility to be established in China.

Harry M. George, Bayer MaterialScience Market Unit Head, Molded Parts, NAFTA, stated that, "In my opinion, Conforce has stretched the manufacturing envelope with this innovation. EKO-FLOR is ground-breaking technology; it's very unique. And we at Bayer are very excited to be involved in this strategic partnership with Conforce on the EKO-FLOR project."

The partnership will also provide valuable support for EKO-FLOR ms-1, a composite panel system designed specifically for use in rapid deployment special application US military containers. Conforce recently commenced production of ms-1 to fulfil its first order and according to Joseph DeRose, Conforce Vice President of Product Development, "Bayer made a significant contribution to the commercialization of ms-1 by organizing equipment design, processing and product testing resources that were able to support our technology."

Conforce President & CEO Marino Kulas added that, "This partnership with Bayer better positions us to execute on a global scale. We are confident that by combining the vast resources of Bayer with our EKO-FLOR innovation, we will be able to redefine the future of the container industry."
