Ossen Innovation Retains HC International as Investor Relations Advisor

SHANGHAI, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Ossen Innovation Co., Ltd. ("Ossen" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: OSN), a China-based manufacturer of an array of plain surface, rare earth and zinc coated pre-stressed steel materials, announced today it has retained HC International, Inc. ("HC International") as its strategic investor relations advisor.

HC International will assist Ossen with communicating its value proposition to shareholders and investors, while broadening its presence in the financial markets. Matthew Hayden, Ted Haberfield, and the HC International team will be advising the Company in all facets of corporate and financial communications.

"With the closing of our initial public offering in December and listing on NASDAQ, partnering with a well-respected, capable investor relations firm was a logical next step. After thorough consideration, we believe that HC International's experienced team and success in providing comprehensive investor relation services to numerous Chinese companies will serve Ossen well," said Dr. Liang Tang, Chairman of Ossen. "We are confident that HC International will provide strong support in conveying our business model, growth strategy, competitive advantages, and value proposition to the investment community at large."

"Ossen Innovation's pre-stressed steel materials include high strength wires and strands coated in a proprietary rare earth and zinc formula which are primarily utilized in the construction of bridges. The Company has provided, and, is providing its products to serve several marquee projects such as the Aizhai Suspension Bridge and Lishui Grand Bridge, both located in Hunan Province, the Ningbo Yongjiang Grand Bridge and Nanjing South Railway Station, in addition to the Oakland Bay SAS Bridge in San Francisco. Over the next decade, it has been estimated that over 200 new bridges will be built in China while 400 existing bridges will need to be reinforced, creating significant demand for coated wires and strands. This includes four cross-sea bridges and tunnels, which will require approximately 8 million tons of pre-stressed materials. Currently, only four companies in China produce high-utility, specialty zinc coated wires and strands in significant volume, resulting in significant excess demand and high margins for suppliers like Ossen. Ossen will allocate capital from its recent IPO to expand capacity of these specialty wires and strands. Furthermore, the Company believes that it is the only supplier utilizing rare earth coating technology for the products and is well positioned to gain market share as it has been estimated that China will spend nearly $1 trillion on transportation infrastructure, with $165 billion allocated to highways and $730 billion to railways. Given the long lead time for infrastructure projects, Ossen has excellent visibility into its order backlog and estimated revenue," said Matthew Hayden, President of HC International, Inc. "We look forward to assisting the senior management team with all facets of its corporate communications strategy."
