NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, July 28, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 310 Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:TRTN) is pleased to announce the scheduled opening of their new tape-reading facility at 500 Technology Square, Suite 150, Cambridge, MA on August 3, 2009. This state-of-the-art site will be housing 18 tape drives employing the Company's latest generation of its proprietary, highly effective magnetic media reading technology. Each shift, run by just one staff member, can process 576 open reel tapes. These highly-automated drives can each read one tape every 15 minutes. Cartridge media will also be processed, further augmenting the Company's revenue stream. Management believes this site will be fully operational by the end of August.
John Bordynuik, 310 Holdings Inc. President and CEO commented, "We look for this division to be highly profitable, since we have an abundance of business and have already fully paid for the hardware. We will net about $22 per tape with a cost factor of approximately $1.50 for each one. The low cost at this facility is due to a number of factors including: highly automated technology, very low material handling involved, the drives are fully paid for, engineering is complete, and the cost of this facility is less than $150,000/year with very low step costs for additional shifts."
The Company will immediately begin to direct some tape processing to this new facility as well as process tapes that cannot be exported from the United States.
A detailed update on 310 Holdings' Plastic 2 Oil process will be announced soon.
