Otto Proposal — $cope of Operations (continued)
Otto Environmental Systems (NC), LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Otto Holding, first
entered the United States market in 1983 with a sales office on the East Coast. In 1988,
Otto opened a new $40 million facility in Charlotte, North Carolina that contains over 43,000
square feet of production area in addition to our United States corporate offices and staff.
Since 1988, the Charlotte production facility has been expanded to 100,000 square feet to
accommodate additional new machinery, an assembly area and warehousing.
The Otto production facility in Charlotte, NC is considered one of the country's largest and
most modem injection -molding plants. Otto's Charlotte facility is equipped with an
impressive array of modern injection -molding equipment, including a 1250-ton, a 1500-ton, a
1650-ton, a 3000-ton, a 3500-ton and twin 3000-ton injection molding machines.
The year 2002 was another extremely successful year in the history of Otto Environmental
Systems (NC), LLC. The company continued record sales of rollout carts. To support the
popularity and consistent demand for Otto products in the US, the company has completed
another significant expansion. Otto has begun operations at its new production facility in
Eloy, AZ. Otto has added new cart molds and additional molding machinery. The
investment the company has made with the 2002 expansion has brought on -stream the
most modem molding technologies that have virtually doubled Otto's production capacity in
the United States.

Management (OCM), the company's subsidiary that exists to offer Otto customers full -

Advantages of the Otto Iniection-Molded Containers
The Otto Environmental Systems (NC), LLC recycling bins are manufactured by an injection
molding process. The injection molding process is capable of making products with complex
designs that would not be possible by other processes of manufacturing, such as rotational
molding and blow molding. Injection molding provides consistency and durability.
For example:
♦ The injection molding process ensures overall consistent wall thickness. Eliminates thin
spots or "windows".
• The latest technological equipment is used to ensure superior hot stamping.
♦ Cosmetically, the Otto container portrays a superior image for the community. The Otto
container appearance is complementary to an inside environment as well as an outside
one.
♦ Select from any of Otto's fourteen standard colors.
• Otto guarantees the bins with five-year prorated warranty coverage.
• "One Stop Shopping" for Otto bins, carts and Otto/ARE lifters — high productivity & cart
friendly lifters.
