| GLOVERSVILLE, NY — March 14, 2002 — Taylor Made Systems has unveiled a revolutionary breakthrough in temperature-control glass technology for the marine industry.
Taylor Made's temperature-control glass is produced using a totally new pyrolytic process that provides both solar and thermal control in a durable, scratch-resistant product. It reduces solar heat gain by blocking most of the solar infrared wavelengths while still transmitting a high percentage of visible light. It can also reduce thermal loss from inside the boat at night. 'The temperature-control glass is a reflection of our continuing investment in innovative technology,' said Randy Parker, president of Taylor Made Systems. The new energy-efficient glass is manufactured using a unique chemical vapor deposition method. The integral pyrolytic surface provides superior fabricating and handling qualities. As a result, the glass can be handled, cut and tempered more easily, overcoming the need for edge deletion and special handling, while providing unlimited shelf life. Parker noted that the temperature-control glass will be used in Taylor Made's Clean Curve™, Cros Curve™ and Clear Curve® glass products, with a choice of painted or ceramic frit edges. A member of the Taylor Made Group, Taylor Made Systems, based in Gloversville, New York, is the world's largest manufacturer of marine glazing systems and the acknowledged leader in framed glass windshield technology for powerboats. Other marine product lines include hatches, doors, window systems, portlights, canvas boat tops and upholstered furniture. The company also supplies glass products for a variety of architectural, agricultural and industrial applications. Headquartered in Gloversville, New York, the Taylor Made Group has 93 years of experience as one of the recreational marine industry's largest, most diversified manufacturers and suppliers. Other companies in the Taylor Made Group include Taylor Made Environmental, Taylor Made Products and Taylorbrite LLC. The group has 17 facilities in the United States, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, United Kingdom, Italy, Australia and New Zealand.
