TRIPLE S PLASTICS AND EIMO OYJ ANNOUNCE
            SPECIAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS ON MERGER TRANSACTION


        PORTAGE, MICHIGAN -- Feb. 12, 2001-- Triple S Plastics, Inc.
   (Nasdaq:TSSS) and Eimo Oyj (HEX:EIMAV) announced today that they have
   set the dates of each company's special shareholders' meeting to vote
   on matters relating to the proposed merger of Triple S and Eimo.  The
   Triple S special meeting will be held on Thursday, March 8, 2001 at
   8:00 a.m., local time, at the Fetzer Center, Western Michigan
   University, Business Court Drive, Kalamazoo, Michigan.  The Eimo
   special meeting will be held in Finland on Friday, March 9, 2001.  The
   merger is expected to be completed during the week beginning March 11,
   2001.

        Triple S shareholders are being asked to approve the merger
   agreement at the Triple S special meeting.  At Eimo's special meeting,
   Eimo shareholders are being asked to approve (1) the merger agreement,
   (2) the issuance of Eimo Series A shares, American Depositary Shares
   and options in the merger, (3) the waiver of pre-emptive rights in
   connection with the issuance of Eimo Series A shares, American
   Depositary Shares and options in the merger, and (4) the election of
   three Triple S directors to the Eimo board of directors at the time of
   the merger.

        A proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Triple S special
   meeting will be mailed on February 12, 2001 to Triple S shareholders
   of record on January 10, 2001.

        Upon completion of the merger, Triple S shareholders will receive
   6.45 Eimo Series A shares for each share of Triple S stock that they
   own.  In addition, each outstanding option to acquire Triple S shares
   will be converted on the same basis into an option to acquire Eimo
   Series A shares.  It is expected that, following the merger, Triple S
   shareholders and option holders will own approximately 39% of the
   outstanding shares of Eimo on a fully diluted basis.

        The Eimo Series A shares to be issued to Triple S shareholders in
   the merger will be issued in the form of American Depositary Shares.
   Each American Depositary Share will represent four Eimo Series A
   shares.  The Eimo Series A shares are listed on the Helsinki Stock
   Exchange, and the American Depositary Shares representing the Eimo
   Series A shares to be issued in the merger are expected to be listed
   on the Nasdaq National Market System under the symbol "EIMO" following
   the merger.

        After the merger, it is expected that the Eimo board of directors
   will consist of seven members, including Chris Schauer (a director and
   the Chief Executive Officer of Triple S), Dan Canavan (Chairman of the
   Triple S board) and Evan Harter (a director of Triple S).  In order to
   achieve this new composition of the Eimo board, it is expected that,
   following the merger, Elmar Paananen and Markku Sulonen will resign as
   members of the Eimo board.  In addition, after the merger, Mr. Schauer
   will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Triple S, and







   Mr. Canavan and Victor Valentine, Jr. (the current President of Triple
   S) will each serve as an Executive Vice President of Triple S.

        Messrs. Schauer, Canavan and Valentine and David Stewart (a
   director of Triple S), who collectively own approximately 52.7% of the
   Triple S shares, have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the
   merger agreement at the Triple S special shareholders' meeting.
   Certain of Eimo's principal shareholders have also agreed to vote all
   of their shares in favor of the proposals to be presented at Eimo's
   special shareholders' meeting.  These shares of Eimo represent
   approximately 84% of the votes entitled to be voted to approve the
   merger agreement and the election of directors and approximately 32%
   of the votes entitled to be voted to approve the waiver of pre-emptive
   rights and the issuance in the merger of Eimo Series A Shares,
   American Depositary Shares and options.

        The merger is intended to be tax free to the Triple S
   shareholders and is intended to be accounted for as a pooling-of-
   interests under Finnish Accounting Standards.

        Eimo recently announced that it will recommend at its next annual
   general meeting of shareholders, which is planned for May 2001, that
   Eimo shareholders (1) approve an annual dividend for 2001 of 0.07
   Euros per Series A share and (2) authorize Eimo to repurchase a
   maximum of 2,000,000 Eimo Series A shares in open market purchases
   using funds otherwise available for the distribution of profits.  Eimo
   stated that the repurchased shares could be used to further develop
   Eimo's capital structure, to finance business acquisitions or as
   consideration for other arrangements.  Eimo also stated that the
   repurchased shares could be cancelled.
