Clean Plusreg Auto Care Premium �� 1000000 $1350000 10Year Distribution Agreement Signed and Confirmed

FALKEN INDUSTRIES LTD 's8211;Clean Plus® Product Group today announced that it had reached a 10-year agreement with a major distribution outlet in France for the permanent listing of the entire Clean Plus® Auto Care Premium line. The agreement requires a minimum of 's8364; 100.000 ($135,000) per annum in Clean Plus® product purchases for distribution in a defined market segment.

Andrew Eakin, New Business Development Officer, stated: This Agreement follows several years of test orders and market studies, and we fully expect that it will quickly lead to a material presence of the Clean Plus® brand in France. Product competition in France has not proven to be significant though distribution through a fragmented network has proven a major challenge . In all event, the Clean Plus® Auto Care Premium line wherever tested, enjoyed either the quality or price advantage and in many instances both.

The Clean Plus® Premium line has a firm and established reputation for quality and price advantage throughout continental Europe and was selected over other well known international brands. The Clean Plus® Auto Care Premium wipe collection bettered all brands present in France, including a major multi-national brand, on both quality and price.

Rishard Lebbe, Ast Vice President and Communication officer, stated: The challenge was delivering upper end top quality and besting mid-range established prices. Team Clean Plus® delivered. No one here is surprised.

Falken products in general, already enjoy a significant presence in the lower end product position through private label productions of non-Clean Plus® eco products which it manufactures in France in support of its Clean Plus® implantations.

Helle A. Madso, Executive Vice-President Europe, explained: The Automobile After-market has suffered from the substantial erosion of the quality standards of many of our competitors who in a desperate spiral to maintain sales volumes and market share are cutting quality and quantities to meet the Clean Plus® pricing challenge. This has alienated customers and retailers alike.
