Composites International Inc. ("ICI" or the "Company"), announced
today that it has received its first order from Liberty Eagle
Holdings ("LE"), an owner/operator of Subway(®) restaurants in
Africa, for a custom designed structure to be used as a Subway(®)
restaurant in Tanzania. Following the opening of the store in Dar
es Salaam, which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2012, LE
will continue its development of outlets in the region. "In
addition to affordable housing projects, commercial buildings in
emerging markets represent a significant opportunity for ICI. The
EcoScape(TM) building system enables us to deliver durable,
sustainable, high quality structures to help the franchises get
into business quickly and cost effectively," said Terry Ball, CEO
of ICI. "We look forward to working on LE's future projects
throughout Africa as well as possibly providing building solutions
for Subway(®) and other quick serve restaurants in other parts of
the world." "We have used other building systems in the past, but
nothing we have seen offers the modularity and ease of construction
that we found with ICI's EcoScape(TM) building system, at a price
point suitable for a developing market," stated CJ Bak, a partner
at LE. Subway(® )is one of the fastest growing fast food franchises
in the world with over 35,000 restaurants in 98 countries. Over the
last decade most of the growth for the fast food industry took
place in the emerging markets and this trend is likely to continue
for the foreseeable future. About Liberty Eagle Holdings Ltd.
