APAC TECHNOLOGIES LAUNCHES FIRST RED LIGHT CAMERA
SYSTEMS

American Plastics & Chemicals Inc. (NASD:OTC - APLC), dba APAC Technologies,
in conjunction with its Australian partner, Poltech International Limited
(ASX - PLL), has completed installation of its red light camera systems in
Cupertino, CA.  The state-of-the-art digital systems automatically detect and
photograph red light offenses.  Citations are then mailed to the red light
runner.

APAC will receive a flat fee for each paid citation the systems issue during
the five-year term of the contract.  M. Edward Stewart, President of APAC,
estimated the Company will receive revenues of approximately $ 6 million over
the life of the contract, and operating profit from the contract is expected
to total $ 2.1 million during the same period.  Stewart added, "Although we
expect to be able to announce APAC has been awarded additional red light
camera contracts in the very near future, completing the installation and
commissioning of our very first system in the U.S. is an extremely positive
development for the Company and its shareholders".

APAC is the exclusive U.S. and Canadian distributor for digital red light,
speed, and toll road enforcement systems developed and manufactured by
Poltech.  Poltech is recognized as a world leader in its market.   In 1993
Poltech's wholly-owned subsidiary, Locktronics Systems Pty Ltd., patented
LaserCam(tm), the first digital imaging system designed expressly for law
enforcement purposes, and the company's commitment to development of new and
enhanced technology continues today.  On May 17 Poltech was selected from
among 150 nominees to receive the prestigious 2001 Australian Technology
Award for the most innovative engineering and/or manufacturing start up
company.  Stewart said, "APAC's future outlook with Poltech is bright.  We
have the exclusive right to market the very best products of their type in
the world in the very best market in the world".
