Campion Marine Inc., Canada's largest fiberglass boat builder, is proud to announce
that it will become the first boat builder in the world to manufacture all of its boats with
Envirez®, a renewably sourced bio-derived resin from Ashland Performance Materials.
Envirez resin is the first resin that uses a substantial amount of soybean oil and corn
derived ethanol in its formulation.

'Ashland's bio-based resin delivers the performance characteristics we want for our
boats and it reduces our reliance on petroleum-based counterparts,' said Brock Elliott,
General Manager of Campion Marine. 'We are putting Envirez resin in all our boats, not
only because of its superior performance relating to strength and elongation, but
because it's the right thing to do for our world.' Research shows that the move to
Envirez resin by Campion will eliminate over 100,000 pounds of C0 from entering the 2
atmosphere.

'We are pleased to be working with a great company like Campion to bring this
technology to the boating public,' said Mike Wallenhorst, Director of Product
Management, Ashland Performance Materials. 'Envirez is a fantastic product that
offers outstanding toughness and is a big step towards a totally renewable resin. It's
exciting to realize that hundreds of boats made from Envirez resin will soon be
navigating the world's waterways thanks to Campion.'
This continues Campion's commitment to build the best boats with the best materials
while reducing its environmental impact. In 2008, Campion Marine was selected as the
world's first builder of bio resin boats. After two years of thorough testing on Lake
Okanagan, the superior performance of the Envirez resin was apparent. 'The future is
now!', says Elliott.

Campion Marine has been building high-performance sport boats and cruisers for 36
years. The company, at its facility in Kelowna, Canada, builds the Allante line of sport
boats and cruisers, the Explorer sport utility water craft, Chase high-performance
boats and the Svfara wake/surf towboats. They manufacture more than 37 models and
48 variations of boats ranging from 16 to 30 feet in length and market and sell their
boats in more than 30 countries.
