chemical bonding technology at its facility in Nanhai.</font></p>

<p style="color:black;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:windowtext;font-size:10.0pt;">The new Suzhou manufacturing plant will make PGI the
largest spunmelt producer in China and the country&#146;s only vertically integrated
producer of medical fabric. &#160;Located near
Shanghai, the plant will house a new state-of-the-art, multi-beam Reifenh&#228;user
spunmelt line targeted primarily at serving the medical and hygiene markets. It
will also house a world-class finishing line capable of providing customers
with treated medical fabrics produced in a pristine environment that meet the highest
quality standards. Construction is expected to begin during the second quarter
of 2005, and commercial production is planned for mid-2006.</font></p>

medical barrier fabric, including PGI&#146;s MediSoft&#153; products.&#160; It will also enhance the company&#146;s ability to
offer high quality hygiene fabrics using proprietary processes and advanced
treating systems.</font></p>

current facility in Nanhai, China with the addition of an advanced chemical
bonding line targeted to serve the hygiene and medical markets.&#160; This new line will enable PGI China to
broaden its product offering to include sublayer products for the hygiene
market and other medical and hygiene products previously available only from
PGI&#146;s U.S. and European operations.</font></p>

James L. Schaeffer. &#160;&#147;Due to capacity
limitations, our existing China operations have not been able to keep up with
the growing demand for PGI products.&#160; The
new location in Suzhou will add capacity right where our customers need it, and
the technology expansion at Nanhai will enhance our ability to provide the
region with a broader base of products.&#148;</font></p>
