ElectriPlast: On the Right Path and moving Forward...

BASF, a heavy-weight at 2015 NPE Expo,

presents an "ElectriPlast" Show & Tell…

Who will be the First to Sign...?

Just another quick note to share that between March 23-27, 2015, BASF attended the International Plastics show -- the NPE Expo 2015 held in Orlando, Florida.

While normally we focus largely on ElectriPlast exploits, I thought I would bring this event to light, for two reasons. Primarily because BASF and Integral Technologies share 'Letter of Intent' (LOI) with one another, and it appears that the defination of the term "intent" is turning into a fast-moving action word as far as this corporate partnership is concerned. But the second (item of interest) reason was because while this event attracts a number of interested industry players, this year's NPE, had a Doug Bathauer sighting... Doug Bathauer is the CEO of Integral Technologies, the owner of the ElectriPlast intellectual property. Friends of the ElectriPlast Blog (EB), are still looking for any background regarding his presence there, and any associated insights, or new deals to come...but for the time being, they've come up dry, so let's just put this sighting down to a possible sideline visit as he made a trip down to Disney.

One of the better exhibits at this year's NPE was the BASF booth. There it was reported that ElectriPlast products were present and on display. As a matter of fact, below is one of the BASF Brochures, which accompanied the presentation, and detailed some of their intentions toward ElectriPlast's future use. (See below.)

Another outlet chronicaling this years NPE Expo activities can be found at a site called: "The Molding Blog". In a review of this website, you will see a report by Doug Smock, dated 25 March 2015, which highlights BASF's presentation, and active engagement in the lightweight conductive plastics arena.

Now while it is true, BASF and a number of other fortune 500 companies have, or are in the process of hitching their vast fortunes to the ElectriPlast star in the form of contractual Letter's of Intent. The real next step, and the one everyone should be watching for, in my opinion, falls in the category of serious commitment... Some of these LOI working relationships have become serious. To the point that solid deals leading to committed partnerships should soon be signed. And if this takes place, what will happen next??? The web link below offers a simple glimpse to the migration / application possibilities.

And with that, All it takes is a leading Partner with a Game Plan. In the consumer world, the truth is, that ElectriPlast is not yet known, and this is where the 'risk' of investing today stands. Now, imagine as ElectriPlast's uses diversify, and it's application expands across a number of niche consumer markets & merchandising. Imagine the concept of ElectriPlast becoming a commonplace, real-world, known quantity.


The foundations for such a future are in place. They are sturdy and self supporting. The supply chain is now in place. It too is ready to accomodate a 'Global' demand. Once the various 'known' partnerships evolve from 'Letters of Intent' to true and formal agreements, then watch out.


This is the potential surrounding the ElectriPlast intellectual property and its myriad of applications, and when it becomes common knowledge, Integral Technologies, and those partners who set themselves up to corner various key markets, will each see themselves as winners...

Yes, herewith yet another quick note before reading: The story below has great significance on the planning and forward progress of this company, it is indicative of the pattern of things. This press release, like many others to come, is what interested eyes will see as ElectriPlast® becomes a commercialized force, and we move forward.

When I read such press releases, here is what I see... I see that the feared "risk", once associated to this investment, has all but evaporated. For those not looking, this will become all that more apparent as the partnerships we know about, expand & grow stronger. As commercialization kick's off and takes hold, the world will learn more about ElectriPlast®, and with learning, we'll see the forging of additional and prominent partnerships. All of the pieces are now present and in-place. The supply chains are a ready fact thanks to JARCO, Nova Polymers, and Hanwa. In addition, the Asian market place is secure, and diversified due to our exclusive association with Hanwa. And with these relationships, and other multi-billion dollar relationships in play, the "risk" we once feared has effectively been addressed and mitigated at each turn.

So, yes, before now, this was a risky investment. But linked below is somthing that will shine a positive light on our current reality. The tides of swelling potential are visible, and the days of sitting on the side-lines, patiently watching and waiting, are rapidly coming to an end.

Do yourself a favor... Below are two recently published Informational Reports. The first is from "One Equity Research" released on: 16 March 2015. And the second is an update from our friends at "Seeking Alpha". Both of these are reports linked, and are a must read for anyone interested in either the associated ElectriPlast 'Larger Picture', and in the 'Possibilities Ahead'...

That's enough cheerleading -- The Fire is Lit, and A GLOBAL marketplace awaits. This press release is simply one of many waiting to greet the company's shareholders, so enjoy. PK, sends…

Integral Relocates North American ElectriPlast Manufacturing

Integral Creates Manufacturing Foundation for Growth

EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Integral Technologies, Inc.'s (OTC-BB: ITKG) wholly owned subsidiary ElectriPlast Corp. announces the completion of the relocation of its North American manufacturing from Jasper to Evansville, Indiana to prepare the foundation for expected manufacturing growth. In conjunction with long time manufacturing partner Jasper Rubber Products, the manufacturing is now taking place at Nova Polymers facility in Evansville, IN.


The relocation of the current manufacturing from the Jasper Rubber Products facility to Nova Polymers began in the fall of 2014, and was completed early this year. In addition to relocating the line, additional capacity was added by dedicating existing Nova fixed assets to the ElectriPlast process which will increase capacity by ten times when fully implemented. Nova was selected because they provide the necessary infrastructure for scaling manufacturing capacity to meet the expected growth in customer volumes through 2020 and beyond.


Nova brings over thirty years of experience in the custom compounding of engineering resins. Nova manufacturing and engineering resources includes an on-site lab which is a critical component in providing the required mechanical testing for ElectriPlast. With Nova's additional resources, ElectriPlast's customers will experience improved availability, shorter turnaround times and strategic room for growth as the manufacturing facility will accommodate significant increases in capacity. As demand dictates, ElectriPlast and Nova plan to develop five acres of land, located adjacent to Nova, which has been set aside for future expansion.


"We're excited to be a part of ElectriPlast's expansion and we're looking forward to being a partner in its strategic growth," states Roger Chapman, owner and President of Nova Polymers. "The ElectriPlast technology, combined with our compounding experience and Jasper Rubber's ElectriPlast manufacturing experience, make for a real winning combination."


"Moving the manufacturing line to Nova in Evansville is a logical step for ElectriPlast," said Doug Mathias, President Jasper Rubber Products. "We've enjoyed a close working relationship with ElectriPlast, and we look forward to continuing that relationship as we use our manufacturing engineering and process manufacturing experience to assist them as they scale operations cost effectively."


"This move has been planned since early 2014, as we anticipated the demand for additional ElectriPlast production to support Delphi, BASF and other partners," said Doug Bathauer CEO, Integral Technologies. "Nova is an excellent partner for us as they provide room for growth and have decades of compounding experience and lab testing capabilities which meet customer requirements and will facilitate achievement of necessary unit cost objectives. Based on already implemented process improvements and future enhancements, we estimate that our manufacturing costs will be reduced by roughly 50%. Relocating ElectriPlast manufacturing to Evansville, the hub of the North American plastics industry, will provide us greater access and opportunities within the plastics community."


Integral and ElectriPlast expect to increasingly use Evansville as the center of operations going forward. The Company has added a manufacturing director as well as a manufacturing operator. Additional direct manufacturing resources associated with growth will be in Evansville, as well as other functional support individuals. As part of this overall strategy, the Company recently opened executive and administrative office facilities at the Nova location.
