PPM PRODUCTS FEATURED IN MOSCOW TRADE SHOW

Russia's Largest Health & Fitness Show to exhibit PPM Gel Insoles

Pittsburgh, PA: Just months after the launch of its European subsidiary, Pittsburgh Plastics Manufacturing has expanded its burgeoning presence on the international health and fitness scene by announcing the distribution of its products in Russia.

Moscow-based Pastore, Ltd., a growing health and fitness products distributorship established by Ekaterina and Nikolay Kaplunova, will be featuring PPM's Gel Insoles at the forthcoming XI International Fitness Convention and Trade Show, April 15-17, 2005.

Recently signed as a PPM distributor, Pastore will represent Gel Insoles at the trade show, which expects an attendance of more than 42,000 representatives from 450 cities, 73 regions of Russia and the countries of the CIS and Baltic. The event is sponsored by the Moscow government's Committee of Physical Culture and Sports, the Russian Aerobics Federation and a long list of top names in the global health and fitness industry.

According to PPM president Jim Zona, the distribution of Gel Insoles in Russia and Eastern Europe represents a significant milestone in the growth of PPM Europe. Pastore's distribution of gel insoles is more than a testament to the product's quality and popularity; it's an opportunity for us to cultivate an entirely new market, states Zona. We are looking forward to building a strong working relationship with Pastore over the coming months.
