               Titan Wood and Roggemann sign exclusive agreement
                  to launch AccoyaTM wood in the German market


Accsys Technologies PLC ('Accsys' or 'the Company', www.accsysplc.com) announces
that its 100% owned subsidiary, Titan Wood BV, has entered into a cooperation
agreement with the Roggemann Group, of Germany (www.roggemann.de)

The exclusive agreement, between AccoyaTM producer Titan Wood, based in Arnhem,
the Netherlands and the Roggemann Group from Bremen, Germany, one of the leading
German timber traders, is to bring an innovative new product in the wood
industry to the German market.  AccoyaTM, a 'new wood species' is extremely
durable, reliable and dimensionally stable. It is created by the modification of
sustainable wood species, with low natural performance attributes, through a
process of acetylation.

AccoyaTM wood, with its extraordinary technical and ecological benefits, is the
ultimate wood for high quality outdoor applications such as doors, windows,
cladding, decking and external wooden constructions. The cooperative agreement,
signed earlier this month, will result in the first deliveries of the product to
Germany this year.

Carl Jastram, Business Development and Purchasing Manager for Roggemann, said, '
Looking at the outstanding technological and environmental benefits, the
Roggemann Group is convinced that AccoyaTM wood will shortly achieve a
considerable market share in Germany. We see this product meeting the demand for
high performance wood that satisfies the expectations of quality end products
that German consumers have come to expect'.

He went on to say, 'The work that Roggemann has done with trial customers
indicates that the performance is sufficiently good that it should not only give
a strong selling advantage, but that it should also help to reverse the tide of
manufacturers (and consumers) switching from wood to plastics and other less
environmentally friendly alternatives'.

Bert Kattenbroek, Sales & Marketing Manager at Titan Wood, added, 'It is the
exceptional material properties of acetylated wood which convinced the experts
at Roggemann to work with us. Early in 2005 the Roggemann business development
team established workgroups with leading window manufacturers. This exclusive
agreement with Roggemann for selling AccoyaTM wood in Germany, with rights also
to sell in Poland, is the culmination of eighteen months of close co-operation'.

The company group Enno Roggemann was set up in 1948 in Bremen and later on
expanded with additional outlets in Luneburg, Harsum, Ellerbek, Basdorf,
Niemberg (g) Coesfeld and Georgensgmund.

With their eight warehouses the Roggemann Group has a turnover of more than
300,000 m3 per year. A fleet of over 100 trucks delivers the products to trading
companies, joineries and industrial producers. In total Roggemann employs over
400 people.

A group of nearly fifty sales staff from the Roggemann Group has received
training at Titan Wood's Arnhem facilities which include both a pilot production
plant and a new commercial-scale production facility which is nearing
completion.

Carl Jastram concluded, 'Roggemann can see the situation where AccoyaTM wood,
produced from consistently available, 100% sustainable forested wood, replaces
large parts of the tropical wood that is used in joinery, decking and cladding
applications. We believe that demand from our German customers could
realistically exceed 10,000 m3 within a year and more, once the end-users become
familiar with the many performance benefits of AccoyaTM wood'.

Notes to Editors

Accsys Technologies - owns the rights to a number of processes, including high
temperature cracking and cellulose modification. Accsys' core technologies have
either existing patent protection or pending patent applications.  Accsys is
focusing its energies on the launch of its Titan Wood business: once this
business has been established, the Directors intend to pursue other technologies
within its portfolio.

Wood Acetylation - Wood acetylation is a process which increases the amount of '
acetyl' molecules in wood, thereby changing its physical properties.  The
process protects wood from rot by making it 'inedible' to most micro-organisms
and insects, without - unlike conventional treatments - making it toxic.  It
also greatly reduces the wood's tendency to swell and shrink, making it less
prone to cracking and ensuring that when painted it requires dramatically
reduced maintenance.
