1 AGS Technology is a custom injection molding company specializing in the use of recycled plastics. AGS has positioned itself to be a reliable, low cost producer for OEM and Tier 1 companies in North America for structural plastic parts.

2 OVERVIEW Founded in 1995 Complete Recycled Material Processing & Testing Facility Ton Injection Molding Facility Assembly Capabilities IATF Registered Certified Minority Owned Business Raw Material Processing, Injection Molding & Assembly Batavia, IL

3 OVERVIEW Future and Recent Investments NOV 2018 Implementing proprietary low constant pressure molding technology MAY 2018 Installed automation/vision systems JAN 2018: Installed (2) JSW 720 ton presses DEC 2017 Added 20,124 ft² warehouse facility SEP 2017: Installed Conair RWX dryers AUG 2017: Installed JSW 720 ton press APR 2017: Installed JSW 720 ton press AUG 2016: Installed JSW 500 ton press APR 2016: Upgraded IT infrastructure with ERP addition (IQMS) SEP 2015: Re-engineered material cleaning & blending operation AUG 2015: Installed JSW 310 & JSW 500 JAN 2015: Consolidated three AGS facilities to Batavia location 720 Ton JSW (JAN 2018) Recycling Operation IQMS ERP

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

5 AGS RECYCLING Formulated 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.

6 THE AGS PROCESS

7 AGS BENEFIT: SUPERIOR TRACK RECORD AGS Technology has an excellent quality and delivery track record with demanding customers. As a result, AGS Technology has been awarded significant new business from automotive and non-automotive customers.

8 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.

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

10 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

11 AGS BENEFIT: IATF REGISTERED Injection molding and raw material facilities are IATF registered.

12 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.

13 AGS BENEFIT: ROOM FOR GROWTH In January 2015 AGS Technology successfully completed its move to a larger 78,000 square foot facility in Batavia, IL. Previous Injection Molding Facility Four overhead cranes 3.5 Tons to 17.5 Tons Room for Injection Molding Presses 6500 Amp Electric Service Underground Service Tunnel 7 Silos Rail Served Large Land Site with Room for Expansion In December 2017 AGS Technology expanded its warehouse and assembly operations with an additional 20,124 square foot facility in Batavia, IL.

14 AGS BENEFIT: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY Investing in automation and vision systems to minimize labor.

15 AGS BENEFIT: DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY Investing in cutting edge proprietary low constant pressure molding technology to automatically adjust for recycled plastic viscosity differences to eliminate flash and short shots.

16 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.

17 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.

18 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.
