Paragon Technologies' SI Systems Brand Receives an Order Totaling Approximately $3.4 Million
EASTON, PA - November 25, 2008-- Paragon Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:PTG), a leading
supplier of "smart" material handling systems and "software-driven" warehouse and distribution
center solutions, announced today that its SI Systems brand received an order totaling
approximately $3.4 million from an internationally recognized hospital. Terms of the contract
were not disclosed.
SI Systems will provide and install its proprietary LO-TOW® transportation conveyor system as
part of an expansion to the conveyor system originally installed by the Company in 2006. This
project is part of the hospital's building expansion, and the system will be used to transport a
varied fleet of carts carrying clean linens and supplies between the existing hospital building, and
two new hospital towers. One of the towers will be for a new children's hospital wing, and the
other tower will be dedicated to adult cardiovascular and critical care. The campus
redevelopment program will encompass nearly 1.5 million square feet of new facility.
The hospital is internationally recognized for its outstanding patient care, medical research, and
teaching.
Len Yurkovic, President and CEO of Paragon Technologies, states, "We are delighted that a
prominent healthcare organization again chose our SI LO-TOW® technology for their hospital
expansion. This proven technology has been used in a similar fashion, connecting separate,
adjoining buildings in warehousing or manufacturing applications, and we are excited about
applying this technology to address the expanding needs of a well-known hospital."
SI Systems has installed similar towline-based system solutions in hundreds of locations
worldwide, including assembly plants, distribution centers, military facilities, and bulk mail
processing centers.
