Trevor Bailie, the General Manager of Custom Seed Coaters Inc. (parent company of Precision Seed Coaters) is pleased to be able to advise that the re-location of the companies Yuma coating plant is complete and the first orders to be coated in the new facility are currently being processed.

The new premises were designed by Carlos Pino, the General Manager of Precision Seed Coaters, to enhance the performance of the recently commissioned RP-36-DB coating equipment, which the company purchased in 2001.

This equipment together with its location in its new premises will enable the company to further streamline its coating operations resulting in superior service and quality of products for its ever-growing list of customers.

In a related development Mr. Bailie announced the companies intention to obtain ISO 9002 registration by December 31^st 2003. This follows the impressive results that the company has seen from its sister company (Canadian Seed Coaters) since their ISO-9002 registration in 1996 and their planned upgrade to ISO – 9002 - 2000 standards.

In addition to the above the company plans to hold its fifth Seed Coating "think tank" in Yuma in October 2002. This will be attended by representatives from three of the largest coating companies in the world including Heritage Seeds from Australia. The focus of the ‘think tank" will be the RP-36_DB coating equipment which all three companies now use to produce their extensive range of forage and turf seeds.
