American Pallet Leasing Adds New Equipment to Satisfy Demand for Pallets.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- American Pallet Leasing, Inc. (OTCBB: APLS), a vertically integrated manufacturer and logistical supplier of pallets, announced today that it is adding four high speed production saws which will allow APL an additional 30,000 board feet of pallet lumber per day, and a new pallet machine to increase pallet production at its Blacksburg facility to keep pace with customer demand for wood pallets.

APL's Chief Executive Officer, Timothy R. Bumgarner, commented that pallet sales have been brisk and the need for pallets continues to grow. "Every pallet we make is sold, so it was an easy decision to make the six-figure expenditure for equipment that will increase our production and revenue. Since some of our pallet production comes from the reclamation of remnant material that previously would have been sold as chips at a lower price, much of the revenue increase will drop to the bottom line. Currently, the income difference from recycling remnant material is roughly equal to the payroll at the Blacksburg plant."

Mr. Bumgarner continued. "Recently, in one week we made 35,000 board feet of pallet lumber out of material that most other sawmills would have sold as chips. The new equipment will enable us to exploit this resource with even greater efficiency."

About American Pallet Leasing Inc.

APL is a vertically integrated manufacturer and logistical supplier of pallets. The Company is engaged in an acquisition roll-up of strategically located wood pallet manufacturers and saw (lumber) mills. Management's goal is to create a "Closed Loop Distribution System" by transforming the $1.6 billion-per-year pallet business from a commodity industry into a logistics management enterprise that will supply and manage the pallet requirements of manufacturers and distributors. APL currently owns one saw mill and intends to acquire others as an efficient means of sourcing lumber for its wood pallet manufacturing operations. APL also holds patents on proprietary galvanized steel pallets and intends to begin manufacturing them upon receipt of additional capital. So far, all of APL's revenue has come from its sawmill operations, but the Company currently is negotiating management and logistics contracts to supply and manage the customers' complete pallet needs.
