RS Announces Transmission Order to Guatemala

CALGARY, June 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - RS Technologies Inc. ("RS" or the "Company") (TSXV: RS.H), a technology innovator and manufacturer of advanced composite products for infrastructure markets, today announced that it has received an order for its RStandard^® poles from Transportista Electrica Centroamericana, S.A. ("TRELEC"), a subsidiary of Empresa Eléctrica de Guatemala ("EEGSA").

The order from TRELEC is for approximately 60 poles ranging in height from 18 to 27 meters, all of which are expected to ship in six 40 foot intermodal shipping containers. This is RS's second order from TRELEC in 2011, following an initial pilot order shipped in the first quarter.
