| February 21, 2001 - PickleVatorTM Award Presentation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PETER PIPER'S PICKLEVATORTM CAPTURES 2000 CLEAR
CHOICE AWARD IN THE PACKAGED FOOD CATEGORY
February 21, 2001- Green Bay, Wi.
The Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) awarded its 2000 Clear Choice Award in the Packaged Food category to Dean Specialty Foods Group's Peter Piper's PickleVatorTM. The Clear Choice Awards are the glass container industry's highest honors and reward excellence in glass packaging. Joseph J. Cattaneo, president of GPI, presented the Steuben Star Stream Award and $1,000 to James Greisinger, president and general manager of Dean Specialty Foods Group. The award money was donated to the company's charity of choice, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation also presented Jim Greisinger with a certificate of appreciation for his support of the 2000 Toys for Tots program.
"The Packaged Food category focuses on both the look and use of the overall package design. Peter Piper's PickleVatorTM showcases an attractive glass container along with innovative utility," said Cattaneo. "The glass jar and vibrant label highlight the contents and allow consumers to see how the packaging allows for easy access to the product," he added.
Dean Specialty Foods Group, the maker of Peter Piper's Pickles, is one of the nation's leading suppliers of pickles, peppers, relishes, olives, sauces, syrup and other specialty food products to major retail and food service customers. "We're very pleased that Peter Piper's new glass design is the winner of a 2000 Clear Choice Award," said Greisinger. "We are making it easier for the public to enjoy our pickles," he added.
The company maintains the leading share of private label retail and food service pickle sales in the United States. Originally a regional brand, the Peter Piper package was recently redesigned prior to positioning for national distribution. Glass was required to highlight the pickle quality and the patented PickleVatorTM, which allows for the serving of pickles without putting fingers in the jar. This new and unique design sets Peter Piper's Pickles apart from other brand names.
The Clear Choice Awards competition, launched in 1989, recognizes products that successfully make glass packaging an integral and effective part of their marketing mix. Clear Choice Award winners have donated more than $140,000 to approximately 40 local and national charities. This tradition of giving stems from the ongoing commitment of GPI members to actively support and contribute to the communities where each company's employees and customers work and live. Judges for the 2000 Clear Choice Awards competition included representatives from a range of backgrounds, such as package design, academia and trade media.
GPI is a trade association representing the North American glass container manufacturers. For additional product images and information about the Clear Choice Awards, visit the GPI web site at www.gpi.org or contact Rebecca Villarreal at (202) 452-9531.

May 6th, 2001 - Cinema "Vader" not the only one sweeping across America this summer
Elgin, IL... The villain in the classic George Lucas film isn't the only one with injection molded plastic accessories. An Illinois company is behind the latest product to help consumers in their everyday lives, a product that has families in Florida and other select markets rushing back to the store for more.
Master Molded Products Corporation -- a 55-year old Elgin-based thermoplastic injection molding company -- worked with Dean Foods to develop the Picklevator,™ an elevator for pickles. The plastic serving basket is located inside the jar of Peter Piper™ brand pickles.
"We were fortunate to work with such a successful company to develop this innovative product that has become so popular in the markets where it is available," said a spokesperson for Dean Foods. "The Picklevator manufactured by MASTER MOLDED PRODUCTS has made our pickles better than the competitors because of its convenience for consumers. Families no longer have to play 'chase the pickles' around the pickle jar."
The company has the capability to custom produce a "turnkey" product from concept to production. In addition to the Picklevator, MASTER MOLDED PRODUCTS molds overcaps, dispensing closures, threaded caps, child restraint packaging and thin-wall containers.

May 6th, 2001 - Master Molded Products behind number one skin care container - Unique packaging contributes to success of Bioré facial cleansing cloths
Elgin, IL... The Bioré skin care products are tops in their market sector in part because of the packaging -- manufactured by Elgin, IL based Master Molded
Products -- according to industry officials.
Master Molded Products created the Bioré tub for Andrew Jergen's Bioré facial cleansing cloths, a product that is number one in its category.
The Bioré product was a unique challenge for Master Molded Products. Currently, there is no other one-piece tub on the market that splits in the middle like the Bioré tub does.
The 55-year-old company has the capability to custom produce a "turnkey" product from concept to production. In addition to the Bioré tub, Master Molded Products molds overcaps, dispensing closures, threaded caps, child restraint packaging, and thin-wall containers.
