WHY PLASTIC TILES?

All of our Company’s plastic roofing products are manufactured from recycled plastic material in a unique process that creates products that are superior to every presently employed roofing product. These products are believed to be superior for the following reasons:

  1. Superior impact resistance
  2. Extreme fire and flame resistance,
  3. Uncommon durability
  4. Absolute water resistance
  5. Aesthetic beauty based upon castings of hand selected virgin products
  6. Ease of application
  7. Light weight negating extra structural engineering costs
  8. Major insurance companies offer substantial discounts
  9. Heat reduction that reduces insulation and other costs
PLASTIC ROOFING TRENDS

A roofing industry trend is that large builders are gaining market share, estimated at 35%, of all sales. According to Standard & Poors Industry Surveys, the 10 largest builders in the US account for 51% of all real estate closings made.

Plastic roofing demands are increasing at a faster rate than industry or other major competitive segments. This growth appears to be increasing each year. The market is going straight up with no end in sight.

Another factor is the need to use recycled material. The EPA raised recycling goals, focusing on construction. Everywhere in the world recycling has become an important industry consideration.

RPM has the responsibility of fulfilling the needs of licensees, along with investors, employees and customers in order to achieve the success that we believe it will have with this undertaking.

SALES SOAR ON OUR
N4840 EXPORT PALLET

Last year we introduced a two-piece nestable 48"X40" all purpose plastic pallet for export. This new pallet is priced below other 48" X 40" pallets and is an instant success in both domestic & international markets.


Welcome To RPM Corporate
RPM - A "GREEN" CORPORATION

Since we began marketing 100% recyclable material-handling products in 2000, RPM has been successful selling plastic pallet products to businesses and industries. We maintain a group of Fortune 500 companies as repeating customers. We will continue to promote this line of products through our internet division, which has grown an average of 30% each year. Sales for pallets and other products will exceed $4.5 million in 2008.

Last year, RPM decided to strengthen the success of its parent company by creating a joint venture with RPM Roofing and enter the roofing tile market with a new, revolutionary line of products that are made from the raw materials it can buy direct from RPM. These materials are 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. RPM Roofing is now using a new proprietary process created specifically to manufacture plastic roofing tiles at a price point competitive with other industry shingles. These shingles comprise the majority of the world's roofing market.

A $35 BILLION MARKET

The size of the roofing market in the US is estimated at $35 billion. At this time, the market is divided in the following manner:

Roofing Demand by Product

Asphalt Shingles 61%
Metal Roofing 8%
Electrometric Roofing 8%
Built-Up Roofing 7%
Modified Bitumen Roofing 6%
Plastic Roofing 6%
Wood Shakes 2%
Roofing Tile 1%
Other Roofing Material 1%
Total 100%

Asphalt shingles have been the most widely used in homes and industrial buildings, but their position of dominance is beginning to weaken. With plastic roofing at a mere 6% of the market, plus the many advantages offered by the use of our products, RPM Roofing is perfectly positioned to develop and sustain an ever-growing market share. If we capture only 1% of this roofing market in 2009, we will have $350 million in sales!
