[{"type":"text","content":"\n RNS Number : 4384F Accsys Technologies PLC 09 October 2008 \n \n\n \n \n NYSE Euronext Amsterdam: AXS\n\nAccoya® Wood: A Revolutionary Product For A Revolutionary Design\n\nTitan Wood Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of Accsys Technologies PLC ('Accsys' or 'the Company'), announced today that its high performance Accoya® wood is to be used in the construction of limited edition interactive functional art structures, created by world renowned designer Michael Jantzen and dubbed the M-Velope (www.m-velope.net). The M-Velope will be available uniquely through the 2008 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, which is known for offering enticing and desirable high quality gifts.\nThe M-Velope offers a flexible space for use as a garden retreat, a shelter from the heat of the sun, a place to practice yoga or meditation, a party pavilion, or can even be used for a night al fresco as the two benches inside may be converted to beds. The M-Velope's slatted panels, made of Accoya® wood, may be moved to change the shape of the structure. This shape shifting not only alters the aesthetics of the structure, but it also alters the light quality and the opacity of the space. \nJantzen specified Accoya® wood for use in the construction of the M-Velope because of its sustainability, longevity and non-toxicity. \nFinlay Morrison, CEO of Titan Wood, commented: 'The use of Accoya® wood in Jantzen's latest masterpiece recognizes Accoya® wood's innovative nature and its environmental credentials. Accoya® wood is not only strong and durable, but it is also beautiful and perfectly suited for many extraordinary uses. Accoya® wood is a revolutionary product for a revolutionary design.'\nAdditional details on Accoya® wood can be found at www.accoya.info. \nFurther reading on Michael Jantzen is available at www.michaeljantzen.com. \n\nFor further information, please contact:\n\n\n\n\n\nAccsys Technologies PLC\nwww.accsysplc.com \n\n\nWilliam Paterson-Brown, \nExecutive Chairman\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 8150 8835\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParkgreen Communications \n\n\nPaul McManus/Leah Kramer\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7933 8794\n\n\n\n\nCitigate First Financial B.V.\n\n\nWouter van de Putte / Laurens Gover...
