| Meeting future
vehicle comfort and safety demands has required
ever increasing innovation of materials,
process', and time efficient development
technologies for the passenger car and light
truck markets.
C-I engineering continues to develop
more effective methods to design today's
increasing temperatures, operating, and
part performance requirements. We are
continuing to exceed in validated replacement
materials such as silicone and better
bonding materials, while also managing
environmentally safe products that comply
within our changing industry standards.
While customer development pressures
grow each year, we continue to grow our
offering of computer programs and instrumentation
tools to help model, simulate, and analyze
part performance. We'll never completely
abandon the age old bench testing and
lab fatigue testing as our primary means
development and part proofing.
C-I also will work closely with the tire,
engine, and powertrain groups to assure
our proposed designs are compatible with
the remainder of the ride system. Our
system-development has helped to improve
the overall product, ride comfort and
perform.
Some of our current automotive products
consist of non-fluid engine mounts, exhaust
isolators, body mounts, and variety undercarriage
and power trains bushings and free rubber. |

| Crosslink is a
leading supplier of rubber and rubber to
metal for the industrial market. Our concept
of a common family of parts has allowed
us to offer a range of products capable
of serving a multi-purpose application in
multiple customer product lines. Using commons
molds, we can match a range of spring rates
by using a variation of compounds. This
has allowed us to utilize a common design
in application with a 70 durometer in the
mounting of cranes cabs, and a 50 durometer
to isolate an air compressors cabinet using
the same design bushing.
Though many of our customers in the industrial
market are cost conscience, which favors
a lesser stringent application data need,
we still offer the full line engineering
resources to them, and will build a custom
product if called upon.
Our current Industrial applications include
machine mounting systems, machine leveling
mounts, body and cab mounting systems,
heavy duty door stops, as well as many
many types of grommets, bumpers, boots,
and seals...............................................................................................................back

| Crosslink offers
a wide range of rubber and silicone products
for the medium, heavy, and off road truck
industry. As development partner with all
of our Heavy Truck OEM's, we provide our
customers only the most current materials
and processes available in the rubber industry.
Our products are guaranteed to be a system
solutions for increased reliability, safety,
and ride comfort.
C-I engineering is known to be World
Class competitive in this industry. Our
qualified supplier network allows C-I
to process only our core competency materials,
products and assemblies. This has allowed
C-I to hold a competitive edge as materials
and processing in some sectors have increased
dramatically.
C-I currently offers a variety of rubber
and silicone products for the Heavy Truck
market.
Our offering includes high temperature
exhaust systems, radiator mounting systems,
body mounting systems, engine mounting
systems, as well as a large selection
of free rubber for under carriage and
chassis. .................................................................................................................................................back

| The Aerospace
Industry is one of the most advanced markets
in the world. It is also a very diverse,
with majority of the applications being
safety rated and/or critical in nature to
the function of the sub-assembly or product.
The Aerospace industry produces commercial
aircraft, military aircraft, aircraft
engines, space vehicles, guided missiles,
propulsion units, to name a few. Most
of the Aerospace Industry is comprised
in supporting the Commercial or Government
programs.
Rubber and rubber products are widely
used in the Aerospace Industry. Rubber
materials with the ability to withstand
extreme temperatures makes rubber parts
ideal for use in aerospace applications.
Specialty synthetic rubber can withstand
Aerospace types of fluids, engine lubricants,
oils, hydraulic fluids, jet fuels, oxidizers
and rocket propellants.
Seals and isolators utilizing materials
such as Viton and Hypalon are regularly
used in commercial and military applications.
Some typical rubber applications would
be: isolators for auxiliary power units,
o-rings used in connectors, pumps and
oil reservoirs, bleed air valves, firewall
seals, T-seals, Radial lip seals used
in pumps, and various dampers and bumpers.
We accomplish a differentiated approach
to these parts by offering a variety of
in specialty and commercial materials,
or a use of standard materials with specialty
coatings to enhance the performance of
the common material in the areas of abrasion
or temperature and/or fatigue.

| Ride comfort begins
to be defined when one effectively separates
exterior noise from the interior of a vehicle.
Exterior noise, vibration, and harshness
will generate driver and passenger discomfort.
Ride discomfort can be developed from a
range from power system noise(s), frequency
conflicts, as well as when poor isolation
from the traveled terrain inputs as road
harshness.
Our Bus & Coach products help dampen
and isolate transmissible noise from the
engine compartment and under carriage
into the driver and passenger cabin areas.
Crosslink offers a wide range of materials
and product designs that will enhance
and improve ride quality.
C-I products are designed and developed
based on a problem, the space available,
and operating conditions which drives
material selections. Bonding of rubber
and silicone to metals offers our customers
increased durability, wider range of temperature
performance, as well as color coding selection.
Today, our core bus and coach products
offerings are isolators for exhaust systems,
mounting systems for radiator modules
and engine systems, as well as general
anti-vibration chassis assemblies.
All of our designs are application specific,
and are not recommended to be transferable
from one OEM to the other...................................................................................................................................back

| Crosslink is a
leading supplier of custom designed products
for the agricultural, marine, rail, golf
cart, sport vehicle, and utility vehicle
business'.
We offer engineering services that specifically
handles a wide range of land, air, and
sea product development demands from our
specialty markets customers. Though our
specialty customers are unique in product
design and operating criterion, all of
our specialty OEM's have one common denominator
- the goal to eliminate noise, vibration,
and harshness from their chassis no matter
how it operates.
C-I engineering provides computer simulations
for each application which measures an
applications vibration and noise optimization
levels. Our current specialty products
support a variety of under carriage isolations
components, rubber bonded bushings, rubber
engine covers, and isolation seats. Other
parts consist of counter acting dampers,
and basic grommets.....................................back
