   PRESS RELEASE



             TRIPLE S PLASTICS TERMINATES EIMO MERGER AGREEMENT;
                ANNOUNCES FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS WITH CUSTOMER


        PORTAGE, Mich.-- March 12, 2001-- Triple S Plastics, Inc.
   (Nasdaq:TSSS) announced today that it has terminated its merger
   agreement with Eimo Oyj, citing the deterioration in Eimo's business,
   results of operations and financial condition since July 13, 2000,
   when the two companies agreed to merge their businesses.  Among other
   developments, Eimo issued an earnings warning at the end of January
   2001 indicating that its estimated operating profit for calendar year
   2000 of EUR 13.7 million would be approximately 29% lower than in
   calendar year 1999, and that its estimated profit before taxes for
   2000 of EUR 12.7 million would be approximately 30% lower than in
   1999, and that these profits were more than EUR 2 million below Eimo's
   expectations for 2000.  Eimo also later announced that its operating
   profit of EUR 3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2000 was
   approximately 48% lower than in the same period in 1999.  Triple S
   terminated the agreement, as permitted under the terms of the
   contract, as a result of breaches by Eimo of certain of its
   representations in the agreement stemming from these and other
   developments which have had or are reasonably likely to have a
   materially adverse effect on Eimo's business, results of operations
   and financial condition.

        Prior to Triple S's termination of the agreement, Eimo had
   notified Triple S that Eimo had intended to terminate the agreement as
   a result of the deterioration in Triple S's business, results of
   operations and financial condition.   Triple S had announced on March
   1, 2001, that, based on information provided to it by its principal
   customer, Triple S expected significantly weaker sales to its
   principal customer than Triple S had anticipated for its fiscal years
   ending March 31, 2002 and 2003, and that the overall effect of these
   weaker sales would significantly adversely affect the growth of Triple
   S's revenues in fiscal years 2002 and 2003.

        Based on further information received by Triple S recently from
   its principal customer, Triple S now expects that the overall effect
   of its weaker sales will significantly adversely affect the
   anticipated growth of Triple S's revenues in fiscal 2002 and will
   result in a significant reduction of the profits anticipated by Triple
   S in fiscal 2002.  Triple S also currently believes that the weaker
   sales will result in a significant reduction of its anticipated
   revenue and profits in fiscal 2003.  As previously announced, Triple S
   will be reviewing its manufacturing capacity needs at its two Texas
   locations as a result of its expected decrease in production.
