American Water Star, Inc. (AMEX:AMW), is proud to announce that its
subsidiary, New Age Packaging, Inc., has begun producing and
shipping nearly one million (1,000,000) eight ounce water/ice
pouches per day to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
for the recent hurricane victims in the Gulf Coast. The AMW Bag
Pax(TM) is particularly unique in that in addition to holding 8 oz.
of purified drinking water, the Bag Pax(TM) has the added feature
of remaining frozen for as long as 24 hours providing an added
advantage over blocked or crushed ice which is in extreme short
supply. If allowed to melt it reverts to its original water state.
"This contract is ongoing and virtually maximizes the Company's
total production capabilities at this time," stated Roger Mohlman,
CEO of American Water Star. He went on to say, "I have ordered 22
additional manufacturing lines because we need to expand our
production to fulfill the demand from national retail chains after
the current emergency subsides. The low cost and easy storage
aspects promise continued sales of this very important product for
a long time." About: American Water Star, Inc.: American Water
