HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 20, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Worldwide industrial services and products company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) announced today that its IKG Industries division, part of Harsco's Engineered Products and Services business group, has launched a new website for its industry-leading steel and aluminum grating products at www.ikgindustries.com.
As America's first and leading grating manufacturer, IKG offers a broad range of products for a variety of commercial and industrial applications. In addition to the long list of "tried and true" uses for IKG grating -- commercial and industrial flooring, warehouse mezzanines, slip-resistant safety walkways and platforms -- the uncluttered lines and architectural appearance of grating are also leading to its increased use for architectural grille work, screens, fencing, dividers and awnings. The open design of grating allows for the passage of light, air and heat between flooring levels, while its high strength-to-weight ratio and long-term cost savings make it an ideal choice for durability and efficiency.
The fully-redesigned IKG website is configured for ease of navigation and use. Included are a full range of technical resources and product descriptions to enable engineers, architects and contractors to better determine their IKG grating requirements. The site design follows the successful launch earlier this year of Harsco's new corporate website at www.harsco.com.
Harsco Corporation is a diversified, worldwide company with four market-leading business groups that provide mill services, access services, engineered products and services, and gas containment and control technologies to customers around the globe. The Company employs approximately 21,000 people in 45 countries of operation and recorded 2005 sales of $2.8 billion. Harsco's common stock is a component of the S&P MidCap 400 Index and the Russell 1000 Index.
