- On Track to Grow Annual 2009 Sales by 300% or More - HANFORD, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thresher Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets: THRR), an eco-friendly manufacturer of precision recycled aluminum and advanced metal matrix composite parts, announced today that it has successfully closed the loop in creating a fully recycled manufacturing process. Plant Sciences Nurseries placed an order with Thresher for 'planter wheels' to be produced using worn out wheels from previous orders shipped to Thresher in Plant Science's returnable containers. Materials will be re-melted, the alloys checked and the parts processed, packed and shipped back to Plant Sciences using the returnable containers. "Customers like Plant Sciences share our commitment to raise the standards of environmental protection within the foundry business. With the completion of the installation of our die casting operation at Hanford, we plan to begin shipment on our first orders this month. We anticipate a 300-400% increase in sales at year-end 2009 compared to last year, primarily due to our unique use of reclaimable materials and green manufacturing methods that appeal to a wide range of industries," said Tom Flessner, CEO and President of Thresher Industries. "With the Plant Sciences order, we can clearly demonstrate how green manufacturing has come full circle. Everything used in manufacturing at our Hanford plant is obtained either domestically or fully rebuilt from used equipment. Our team uses returnable containers whenever possible and high-strength, composite alloys that reduce the total weight of parts, decrease shipping costs and lower total energy requirements for end products," concluded Flessner.
