Skellerup business wins prestigious customer award

The decision to strategically grow its presence in the US has been realised
for Skellerup subsidiary Gulf Rubber after it received the prestigious
"Partner of the Year" award from Moen, the #1 tapware brand in North America.

Gulf US, Inc. president Michael Robins said: "It is a real honor to receive
this award from a very important customer of our specialty compounds used in
cartridge seals applications. It is a true testament to our teams' talent,
passion and commitment to be a world class supplier of engineered rubber and
plastic components.  This commitment has come from across the entire team in
New Zealand and the USA."

Gulf US Inc (established in late 2011) is strategically located just hours
from two of Moen's major manufacturing sites in North Carolina. Gulf's
facility offers full product & customer support with a warehouse offering
just in time deliveries to suit its customer requirements.

Moen offers a diverse selection of thoughtfully designed kitchen and bath
faucets, showerheads, accessories, bath safety products and kitchen sinks for
residential applications - each delivering the best possible combination of
meaningful innovation, useful features, on-trend styling and lasting value.
Moen is part of Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS) which has a
current market capitalisation of US $7.4 Billion. Fortune Brands creates
products and services that help fulfil the dreams of homeowners and help
people feel more secure.

Skellerup chief executive officer David Mair said that Gulf Rubber was a key
business for its Industrial division. "Gulf Rubber is recognised globally as
a premium supplier of precision engineered rubber and plastic components for
a range of applications including water, automotive, appliance and industrial
products.

"Less than four years ago, we set up in Charlotte, NC to accelerate our plans
to grow sales of Gulf Rubber products in North America.  This has proved a
successful strategy with consistent strong growth being achieved with
existing and new customers and products. This award from Moen underlines our
strategy to move closer to key customers so that we get to know their
business better and provide them with the exact services and products they
require to make their business a success."
