MELBOURNE, Fla., March 12, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ACCY) announced today that it has appointed Mr. Bob Williamson as its Plant and Production Manager. Mr. Williamson's history spans thirty-four years of diversified, high level experience in plant management, manufacturing design, production and personnel management. Over thirty-two years of that experience is with the largest and most profitable United States producer of passenger and freight elevators. His work experience was solidified in a manufacturing environment of "mass customization" and automated production methods to meet diverse customer specifications while minimizing costs. The work performed included the use of a broad range of materials, systems and production processes -- including electronic, electrical, hydraulics and the fabrication of sheet and structural steel. Over the course of his career he has held several management positions in engineering and production departments. Engineering positions included manufacturing engineering, plant engineering, test engineering (electrical/electronics), and contract design engineering. Production positions included "focused" factory group management, plant management including financial responsibilities, and design production. Accomplishments include bringing several production factions from chronic past due status to on-time performance, the development of computer based office automation and information systems, turning a manufacturing plant from chronic losses to profitability, significant cycle time reductions and significant productivity gains in both front office and factory floor operations.
"Mr. Williamson's skills are uniquely suited to our needs and his objective is to improve upon our recent efficiency gains," stated A.J. Francel, the company's COO. "As we continue on our mission to become the global leader in the production of 'state of the art' sustainable structures and building materials, we will continue to appoint strong and capable management with significant contributions to make. Bob, along with our recent appointments to the Board of Directors, only reinforces our commitment to pair superior products and services with world class personnel and management," he added.
Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (ACT) possesses a unique and patented construction technology called the ACTech(r) Panel System that is used in the design and erection of state of the art buildings in commercial, residential, industrial and modular building applications, as well as patented safe rooms. Generically known as structural insulated panels (SIPs), ACT's revolutionary and efficient construction solution utilizes an inherently better galvanized steel "skin" SIP system to complete energy efficient, stronger, safer, faster, and more economical structure than conventional wood and brick based building products. The patented ACTech(r) Panel is environmentally-friendly and easier to construct with -- not only saving labor cost and cutting construction time, but also reducing recurring monthly heating and cooling energy bills consistently by 30-50% and often as much as 70%. Most importantly, the ACTech(r) Panel possesses disaster resistant strength and has tested stronger than conventional concrete block or wood frame construction. In hurricane projectile tests, the ACTech(r) Panel continues to meet the most stringent wind, projectile and uplift codes in the nation levied in and for Dade County, FL, and the 2006 Florida Building Code. The ACTech(r) Panel System offers builders and consumers many competitive and comparative advantages of use due to its wide range of attributes. As this new construction technology gains awareness, or hurricane and tornado-prone states establish new building codes and rebuild from recent weather disasters, ACT believes its' products will be in greater demand. ACT has recently added complementary services including design, consulting, and construction through its various general contracting subsidiaries.
