[PLNI]: Plasticon International, Inc. announces that its major distribution agreement with BlueLinx Corp. has been TERMINATED

.
.
In a press release that is shown below, it appears that the much promoted distribution relationship between PLNI and BlueLinx Corp., the largest building products distributor in the United States, has been TERMINATED and settlement arbitration proceedings on this matter are pending.

This announcement by PLNI, together with recent announcements on the increased warehouse space for excess inventory and on the significant cost cutting program are continued signs that big trouble lies ahead for PLNI and its stockholders. More on the warehouse and cost cutting here: http://snipurl.com/14u9g

Would the need for cash due to the lack of business be the reason that PLNI filed with the SEC on November 6, 2006 that it recently completed a $760,000 PIPE financing, possibly diluting PLNI stockholders a further 1 billion common shares?

Plasticon International, Inc. Negotiating With Multiple National Distributors to Meet Increased Demand for Products

Pro Mold Reports Backlog of Orders in Excess of $960,000 Through January 2007

LEXINGTON, KY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 12, 2006 -- Plasticon International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PLNI) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary companies, Pro Mold and SEMCO, have reported their largest order backlogs in the history of either company. Pro Mold's current order backlog is in excess of $960,000 through January 2007.

Plasticon International is currently conducting negotiations with several national distributors to support the increased demand for the Company's products. Due to the inability of BlueLinx to meet sales and distribution quotas as agreed upon in their exclusive agreement, Plasticon International has elected to exercise its arbitration rights to seek compensation.

"As we approach the close of 2006, our future has never been brighter. Our companies have achieved record setting order backlogs and we're beginning to receive initial offers from several national distributors. These initial offers are already expected to exceed those that we received from BlueLinx over the entirety of our three-year relationship. We are very excited about a new year and an exciting future for Plasticon and our shareholders," stated Jim Turek, CEO and President of Plasticon International, Inc.

Additionally, Plasticon International is preparing for the annual World of Concrete Expo being held in Las Vegas, Nevada January 23 through January 26, 2006. The Company is planning on displaying its environmentally friendly products in its own booth. Plasticon International will announce more information regarding the show as it becomes available.
