Revolutionary Low Maintenance Fencing Line By Eon® Wins BUILDING PRODUCTS' Most Valuable Product Award

Business Wire, August 10, 2006

TORONTO -- BUILDING PRODUCTS magazine presents Eon(R) with the prestigious Most Valuable Product (MVP) Award for the new, low-maintenance fencing line. The MVP Award honors the best new product innovations of the year in the building industry.

CPI Plastics Group Ltd., maker of Eon, launched the Eon(R) fencing line in January 2006 as an alternative to wood fencing. Eon fencing is available in two styles and sizes: privacy fencing and privacy fencing with lattice across the top in both 6'x6' and 6'x8' sizes. Both Eon fencing styles are available in two rich wood colors- cedar and redwood- and are easy-to-install, wood-like, and do not require annual painting, staining and upkeep required of natural wood.

"We are very excited and honored that Eon's fencing was recognized as an innovative new product in the building industry," said Cliff Hatch, Director of Marketing, CPI Plastics Group Ltd. "With ongoing research and new product development, Eon continues to lead innovation in the outdoor living category."

As a leading publication in the building industry, BUILDING PRODUCTS' MVP Award recognizes products that help builders and remodelers achieve one of the following goals: 1) save labor, time, and money; 2) add value and create better profit scenarios; or 3) increase customer satisfaction by adding a "wow" factor to the home and reduce callbacks. Eon fencing captures the look and feel of natural wood without rotting, splitting or flaking. Eon represents the only maintenance-free wood alternative offering a collection of outdoor living products including decking, railing, fencing, privacy screens, spa cladding and accessories.

"Eon fencing products offer superior value when compared to the long term cost of maintaining a wood fence. Eon's quality, durability and natural wood-like beauty are in a category all its own," said Hatch. "Eon fencing boasts premium design, with hidden hinges and a metal reinforcement channel. It is easy to assemble and install; just standard tools are required with no complex pieces to fit together."
