August 16, 2004

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, August 16, 2004 – Envirotainer, world leader in the development, manufacture and leasing of temperature controlled air-freight containers, has appointed its first General Sales Agent. Operating from its offices in Mexico City, Grupo Fidalex SA, will sell the full range of Envirotainer container leasing services to the Mexican market, as well as the company’s recently launched Cool Chain Management services.

Commenting on the appointment Magnus Welander, CEO of Envirotainer, said “The appointment of our first General Sales Agency is a significant step in the further development of our business model and represents a clear opportunity to extend our existing global coverage to a growing market. I see significant opportunities for us with the experience that Grupo Fidalex has in the Mexican market and we expect to grow in this market with more than 100% in the next 12 months. Furthermore, we intend to extend our GSA model to other locations before the end of 2004.”

The cooperation between Envirotainer & Grupo Fidalex extends to the appointment of a dedicated sales resource that will allow Mexican shippers of temperature sensitive commodities such as healthcare, bioscience and perishable foods, to ensure their products arrive in the optimum condition.

Alexandre Surman, Managing Director of Grupo Fidalex said “We are delighted to have been appointed by Envirotainer to represent them in this important market and we are confident of a solid business relationship upon which we can grow. Together with the recent opening of an Envirotainer Inventory point to pick-up containers in Mexico City, we will be able to offer Mexican exporters and importers an improved logistics service’’.

Grupo Fidalex has been chosen to represent Envirotainer in Mexico with effect from 1 August 2004.
