EDMONTON, April 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Resin Systems Inc. (RS - TSX / RSSYF - OTCBB), a composite products innovation company, through its operating division, RS Technologies (collectively "RS"), started shipments of RStandard(TM) transmission poles to China. The poles will be used by Jiangsu Far-East Group Co., Ltd. and the Shenzhen Chamber of Commerce for Electric Power Service to complete the testing and product approvals for the Chinese power grid.
A series of shipments will be sent over the next few months for testing and approval. The process includes structural testing at the SG Electric Power Construction Research Institute and electrical testing at the Wuhan High Voltage Research Institute. RStandard poles will then be installed in China's live grid for approval.

"The installation of our RStandard poles in the Chinese grid in June will mark two significant milestones: the first composite transmission poles in China and the first delivery of 41 metre (135 foot) transmission poles in a 12 metre (40 foot) ocean container."
