Press Release6/23/04 Celeste Employees Take Hands-On Approach To Product TestingEaston, MD – June 10, 2004 - Several employees of Celeste Industries Corporation recently took two trips to the local airport in search of dirty airplanes. Led by Gene DeJackome, Executive Vice President, and armed with Celeste’s new SP-86000 Exterior Cleaner, this team of employees wanted to make sure that the performance was second to none. East Coast Flight Services and Easton Aviation arranged to have several aircraft available for cleaning. The Celeste team of technology and commercial people washed half of an airplane with the SP-86000 Exterior Cleaner and the other half with a competitive product. While the complete removal of organic insect matter was equal between the two cleaners, the Celeste SP-86000 Exterior cleaner was much more effective at removing grease, oils and exhaust soil. Don Cooper, Celeste Industries’ Lab Manager, was elated to be able to test this product in a real-life scenario. “Testing the product in the lab is great, but being able to see the results on the actual airplane proves that this is a superior product.” Bob Anstatt, co-owner of Easton Aviation, was pleased with the results of the Celeste Exterior Cleaner. “I thought it worked real well and it really took the bugs and oil off the belly of the plane,” said Anstatt. It was much easier to use than our current products. It didn’t require as much scrubbing.” Bevia Patrick, Flight Operations Director for East Coast Flight Services, stated. “the competitive product left many streaks on our planes.” East Coast Flight Services currently uses two types of cleaners – one for every day dirt and grime, and one for grease and oils. “Celeste’s Exterior Cleaner took the place of two cleaners and that was pretty impressive,” Ms. Patrick stated. “the amount of money we would spend on cleaning products would be cut in half because we would only need to purchase one product, not two.” Mr. DeJackome applauded the efforts of the Celeste cleaning crew and the excellent performance of the new Exterior Cleaner. “Celeste’s outstanding technology in cleaning products has resulted in yet another value-added product for commercial airlines, corporate aircraft and FBOs.” stated Mr. DeJackome.
