Available in four neutral colours, the large and small Anita boards, Bendy Boards and Spreaders are currently in stock and available to ship from the company's facility in Edina, Minnesota. The raw materials used for these new Bio products are 100 percent sugar cane sourced from Braskem, Brazil. Braskem is located more than 2,500 kilometers from the rainforest and does not produce genetically modified sugarcane or use artificial irrigation in its manufacturing process. Using sugar cane as a replacement for fossil fuels often allows for a significant reduction in the carbon footprint, lower energy costs in the pro- duction process and a reduction in waste by using raw materials that are recyclable at the end of a product's life cycle. The Bio products are manufactured at Linden Sweden USA's own facility, DaloLindén, in southern Sweden. DaloLindén currently owns and operates two manufacturing facil- ities in the southern region, and its corporate headquarters are in Värnamo, Sweden. It owns a U.S. and a Russian subsidiary and maintains product representation in 23 coun- tries. DaloLindén has been designing and manufacturing Swedish kitchen products in its facilities in Sweden since 1932. According to one Owner, Jens Sorensen, "Our prod- ucts are tested regularly to ensure that European safety and environmental standards are followed and maintained. We care about our environment and take pride in our com- mitment to its safety and well- being. Our line of Bio products takes this commitment one step further to offer consumers an- other choice in our extensive line." Linden Sweden USA is a global company committed to providing customers with sensi- ble, quality products that are de- signed to make cooking efficient and fun while maintaining a commitment to the same quality and tradition that are the corner- stone of its business.

Over the course of the more than 50 years since then, the company has honed its manufacturing expertise to become a leading factory-direct supplier of melamine and plastics tableware that has vibrancy, fun, longevity and functionality. TarHong unites a global team of designers, merchants, and craftspeople to create durably beautiful drinkware, tableware, kitchen- ware, pet products and more. TarHong is a supplier of imagination, insight and market awareness, with products that truly set the world's table. This spring, the company introduces NatureOne, TarHong's exclusive plant-based tableware solutions that respond to an ever-changing world and environment. The new Planta collection, which falls under the NatureOne brand, is made with a majority of plant based materials comprised of highly superior bamboo powder and cornstarch. With its rich coloration and matte finish, it becomes a sustainable and durable alternative to disposable tableware. A second new line, named Merge, includes products made from a blend of superior bamboo powder and melamine. All of these products are food safe, BPA free, phthalate free and dishwasher safe, made with innovative materials that offer endlessly brilliant and trend-setting ways to bring tableware to life. Another exciting addition to the NatureOne line comes through a partnership with CottonOne from Italy. Elegantly natural, these table linens are made only with two sim- ple ingredients: cotton and water. CottonOne is soft like a textile, more absorbent and stronger than paper napkins. In addition to being fully disposable, CottonOne is 100 percent biodegradable and com- postable, reducing environmental impact. Colors and patterns are printed with vegetable-based inks, and the packaging is also com- pletely biodegradable. TarHong USA Sales@tarhongusa.com www.tarhongusa.com NESCO INTRODUCES SNACKMASTER JR. From the market leaders in dehydrating comes a new and compact model unlike any- thing else available today. More individuals than ever before are living in urban housing with less kitchen space. This has led to a gap in the food dehydrator category as con- sumers seek smaller models to suit their contemporary homes. The NESCO Snackmas- ter Jr.™ is built to fit in any size living space and makes healthy snacking less expensive and more convenient. This new, modern unit features a digital display with temperature control and a timer, giving consumers in small living spaces unmatched versatility. The temperature control ranges 97-175 degrees Fahrenheit for everything from drying herbs to making jerky. The compact design also accommodates smaller batches of food and produce, which eliminates waste by making fewer portions. Four trays provide the per- fect amount of space for making fruit chips to last one or two people a few days. NESCO designed this unit with the modern consumer in mind. Just as the compact form serves the functionality of the unit, the color also appeals to today's consumer. Created in the Pantone color of the year (Classic Blue), this dehydrator is both stylish and small enough to leave on the kitchen counter all day. It is also available in red, so customers can choose a color to fit their kitchen and personal style. With the rise of urban gardening, as well as farmers' markets and "locavores," NESCO gives consumers more options for enjoying homegrown and locally pur- chased produce and meats. NESCO has been the market leader in dehydration starting with its acquisition of Ameri- can Harvest in 1998. Today, it continues to innovate in the category with its extensive line of dehydrators and acces- sories to meet everyone's needs. Metal Ware Corporation 800.624.2949 sales@mwcorp.com www.nesco.com
