"For the first time, we now are selling customers a complete packaging system, not just individual components, which certainly is very significant to us," said Glenn J. Walters, president and chief executive officer of A.D. TECH. "In the past we've sold components -- inside or on top or on the bottom of someone else's packaging. However, our two new customers are buying the complete package from us, which will go on retail store shelves with the pizza or pastry inside. "We believe this is the first successful microwaving of raw pastry and pizza dough into a quality-cooked product," Walters added. "We've had numerous conversations with many pizza companies in the U.S. and anticipate, next year, this new microwave-packaging system will be one of A.D. TECH's significant product lines. We're not just selling the raw materials anymore; we're selling an entire microwave-packaging solution. "Furthermore, given the demand for A.D. TECH's microwave-packaging technology and products, we expect to license this technology in Japan and Europe, as well as in the United States," Walters concluded. A.D.
