     Stanelco in Trials with Oscar Mayer Ltd for use of RF Technology

Stanelco PLC, the RF (radio frequency) applications group, is pleased to
announce that Oscar Mayer Ltd ('Oscar Mayer'), has agreed to trial Stanelco's RF
sealing technology for use in tray-lidding machines in its food packaging
operations.

The technology will be retrofitted into one of Oscar Mayer's Proseal Machines.
This will undergo tests, and subject to its success, it will enter into
full-scale production across its entire range of tray-lidding machines in the
UK.

Oscar Mayer is one of the country's leading producers of ready prepared meals,
supplying over 3 million meals a week in the UK. The company has 30 tray-lidding
machines in 3 locations in the UK.

The use of RF technology in tray-lidding is now the core revenue driver for
Stanelco, representing the most significant element of future projected
revenues.

Ian Balchin, CEO of Stanelco, commented:

'We look forward to demonstrating the benefits of our RF technology to Oscar
Mayer. We have made considerable strides in developing our RF technology for
tray-lidding and there has been massive interest amongst food producers and
packagers alike.'
