www.scsprocess.com

July 30, 2004, Red Bud, Illinois – The Material Works, Ltd. (TMW), a premier toll processing company, has launched an expanded web site for it’s revolutionary, patented SCS® process technology. The URL of the new site is www.scsprocess.com.

Kevin Voges, President of TMW, explained: “In the three years leading up to the launch of SCS, we validated very positive metallurgical results. After our launch in March 2003, SCS immediately won praise from satisfied customers. Today, interest in SCS is not just growing, it is accelerating. We get a steady stream of visitors and callers wanting to understand how the SCS process produces a superior quality product at a much lower cost. So naturally, the mills, service centers, processors and OEMs want to know as much about it as possible. This web site educates our visitors as to exactly what SCS is, how it is being used, what benefits it delivers, plus ongoing developments – all in one place.”

The site is configured for three different audiences
:

Users who want to purchase SCS sheets for use in their products to take advantage of its rust-inhibitive qualities and cold roll surface,

Service Centers who want to apply the SCS process to enhance the value they offer their customers,

Intermediary Processors who view SCS as an attractive alternative to the higher cost operations of most other conventional materials.

Voges concluded, “We expect www.scsprocess.com will answer many of the initial questions interested parties have about SCS. That way, when they call us, they are already up to speed and we can focus more time discussing specific applications and economics.”
