New and upgraded items highlight Kinedyne display at 2011 Mid-America Trucking Show

LOUISVILLE, KY (March 31, 2011) – A worldwide leader in cargo securement solutions for the transportation industry, Kinedyne Corporation is displaying all the highlights of its broad product lineup at this year's Mid-America Trucking Show.

Visitors to the company's booth (#22035) will see a variety of products new to Kinedyne's MATS display, including several lines featured prominently in the company's latest Cargo Securement catalog.

"During the past several years – in the midst of the worst economic conditions since our company was founded more than four decades ago – we continued investing heavily in our manufacturing capabilities," explains James Klausmann II, Kinedyne's Executive Vice President and the son of the company's founder. "This strategy has now put us in an excellent position for the recovery. In fact, we're currently expanding our Nantong, China location – which began operations in 2009 – to support our future plans."

Kinedyne Corporation – a New Jersey based entity – currently has facilities in four countries and is the parent company of a worldwide operations group that includes Kinedyne Canada Ltd. (Canada), Nantong Kinedyne Ltd. (China) and Sistemas Kinedyne, S.A. (Mexico). A vertically integrated manufacturer, Kinedyne's capabilities include synthetic web production, metal fabrication, roll forming, heat treating, plating, electro-coating, powder coating and fabrication of strap assemblies.

Kinedyne has more than 5,000 items in its product line, including several patented products. The following items are being shown at the Mid-America Trucking Show for the first time:

•    GRIP LINK™ Tire Chains: Available in V-Bar and Square Link designs for highway use, and Stud chains for off-road conditions, these high-strength, carbon steel chains are case hardened for extra long wear-life. Manufactured to exceed industry performance standards, GRIP LINK chains are the ideal solution for situations ranging from carting trees off a hillside logging site, to steering a heavy-duty rig through 18-inches of mountain snow.
•    Kaptive Beam Systems and Components: This innovative line captive decking tracks and beams was recently expanded to feature a new L-Track solution, as well as new accessories, including logistic straps and hardware, compatible with the system track.
•    Steadymate® Recreational Vehicle Tie-Downs and Hardware: A high quality line of tie-downs specifically designed to meet the needs of consumers who own and transport recreational vehicles, Steadymate has been a top seller in Canada for years. This four-season line of tie-downs and securement point hardware is now available to all Kinedyne distributors in the United States.

•    Steadymate® Motorcycle Wheel Chock: Features a pivot point which uses gravity to lock a motorcycle in an upright position, making 'one-person' operation simple and easy. The rider just rolls the bike into the chock and it remains in an upright position. There are no side rails or supports to damage the tires, rims or fenders.

"The effort we put into several major initiatives during the past few years – including reorganizing our Sales and Operations team – is already paying dividends in the form of positive sales growth," says Larry Harrison, Kinedyne's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "In addition, the new global computer system we launched last year will further enhance our already world class service. I'm excited about the future and confident Kinedyne is now positioned to accomplish great things."

Also featured in the display at Kinedyne's MATS 2011 booth are:

•    Flatbed products (including winch bars and straps, and ratchet straps)
•    Interior van products (including Jack bars and logistic straps)
•    Webbing products (varying by strength, thickness, material, and width)
•    Hardware offerings (including an assortment of hooks, rings, and buckles)
