3 TRADITIONAL RECYCLING Plastic regrind is fed into an extruder to make plastic pellets.

Eliminates a manufacturing step and the associated

4 AGS RECYCLING Plastic regrind is fed directly into the injection molding machine to make parts. Eliminates a manufacturing step and the associated cost/margin. Eliminates a material heat history. Eliminates finger pointing.

5 THE AGS PROCESS

As evidence of this commitment, AGS Technology was awarded General Motors 2014

6 AGS BENEFIT: SUPERIOR TRACK RECORD AGS Technology has an impeccable delivery and quality track record with demanding customers. As evidence of this commitment, AGS Technology was awarded General Motors 2014 Supplier Quality Excellence Award and General Motors Platinum Supplier Status for On-Time Shipping in 2014.

7 AGS BENEFIT: RECYCLING SOLUTIONS Parts made from Injectoblend materials are based on post-industrial and post-consumer sources of plastic making them inherently recycled and environmentally friendly. AGS also provides closed loop recycling solutions.

8 AGS BENEFIT: MATERIAL PERFORMANCE Parts made from Injectoblend materials are used in applications that are subjected to demanding physical, thermal, and environmental conditions.

9 AGS BENEFIT: GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE Parts made from less expensive Injectoblend materials are globally competitive since the bulk of the cost of a shoot and ship injection molded part is raw material. Cost of a "Shoot and Ship" Part Molded in Virgin Raw Material Cost of a "Shoot and Ship" Part Molded in AGS Injectoblend Raw Material 9% 8% 15% 5% 3% Virgin Raw Material 60% Machine Labor SG&A Profit Expendable Packaging 9% 15% 5% 3% Cost Savings 8% COST SAVINGS 50% Recycled Raw Material Machine Labor SG&A Profit Expendable Packaging

10 AGS BENEFIT: ISO/TS16949 REGISTERED Injection molding and raw material facilities are ISO/TS16949 registered.

11 AGS BENEFIT: MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS As a certified MBE, AGS Technology helps ensure that sourcing and new product introductions meet corporate diversity and procurement targets.

AGS BENEFIT: ROOM FOR GROWTH In December 2014 AGS Technology successfully completed its move to a larger 78,000 square foot facility in Batavia, IL.

13 GETTING STARTED NEW & EXISTING TOOLING 1) Customer identifies part candidates that are best suited for the AGS process: Material intensive parts. Engineering grades of unfilled and filled thermoplastics such as ABS, ABS+PC, Acetal, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Polyester, etc AGStimator is available online at to help assist in this process. 2) AGS Technology provides two quotations: Virgin or currently specified material on the drawing. Injectoblend recycled equivalent. 3) Customer sources or transfers tooling to AGS Technology: AGS Technology submits PPAP and runs virgin or currently specified material to support customer s production. AGS Technology submits PPAP and sample parts made from Injectoblend recycled equivalent for customer to validate. Establish breakpoint for transition to Injectoblend recycled parts based on formal approval by customer.

14 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How does AGS Technology assure continuity of supply? AGS has developed strong relationships with a wide network of brokers, dealers, collectors, and generators. AGS does not rely on any single source or feed stream of recycled raw material. AGS inventories large safety stocks since recycled raw material only becomes available when it is generated. Fallback or contingency plan is to use virgin raw material at no additional cost to the customer.

15 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Does tooling require any special modifications in order to run the Injectoblend recycled material? No special tooling modifications are required. AGS has developed its own tooling standards manual to ensure molds are designed, built, and optimized to run Injectoblend recycled material. AGS Injectoblend parts will be as good or better than parts made from virgin material.
