Rockville MD (SPX) May 15, 2008
Hi-G-Tek has announced a strategic partnership with Emco Wheaton. This partnership is designed to supply a range of wireless RFID sealed delivery solutions for liquid petroleum and fuel-oil road tankers.

Product security, in terms of both quality and control, has become increasingly important as energy prices rise. As such, Emco Wheaton has launched a wireless Sealed Cargo System (SCS) that utilizes Hi-G-Tek's Pro-Active technology.

The SCS provides a unique and accurate monitoring solution for individual compartment valves and manhole covers, resulting in real-time tracking from terminal to delivery point.

Key elements of the system include immediate event alerts and monitoring of the tank truck apertures, global positioning system (GPS) tracking, fleet management and back-office interface, and simple installation on existing road tankers. Additional product launches are expected later in the year to further enhance the range of the sealed parcel delivery systems provided by Emco Wheaton.

"We are delighted to be in a position to launch a unique range of industry leading, cost effective solutions to our customers," said Graeme Murphy, Managing Director, Emco Wheaton SBU.

"Integrating proven technology from Hi-G-Tek with our standard product range and global distribution network brings tangible benefits to our clients and ensures our clients' assets are monitored and secure at all times within the transportation network."

Larry Blue, President and CEO, Hi-G-Tek, said, "We are excited about this strategic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnership. This relationship represents a merger of two unique technologies that will ultimately deliver significant value to Emco Wheaton's customer base.

"Hi-G-Tek's knowledge of RFID sensing and control solutions for tracking high-value cargo and sensitive materials, coupled with Emco Wheaton's extensive industry experience, provides a comprehensive method for the safe distribution of hazardous fluids."

Hi-G-Tek and Emco Wheaton announced the Sealed Cargo System at the Federation of Petroleum Suppliers (FPS) EXPO 2008, which was held in Dublin from April 23 - 24. The EXPO, an event for the oil distribution industry in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, featured the latest products and innovations in the petroleum industry.
