Cadillac Plastic, the world's largest distributor of plastics, has been named as one of the "e-businesses to watch" on the InfoWorld 100 E-Business list.

With Concept Five's help, we gained a critical competitive advantage in the plastics distribution area," said Kerry Given, Director, Information Technology at Cadillac Plastic. "We plan to continue to expand this advantage and put up client extranets around the world."

"We join InfoWorld in congratulating Cadillac Plastic on producing an e-marketplace that was ground breaking in their industry," stated Kevin Dougherty, CEO and President of Concept Five.
