A&S Introduces the New Exclusively Engineered FlyWeight™ Material Manufacturing ATA Cases up to 60% Lighter

A&S Case Company... When Customers Talk, A&S Listens... Then Delivers Solutions. A&S introduces the new exclusively engineered FlyWeight™ material... the results are ATA flight cases that have a wood weight reduction of up to 60% & are twice as strong as those made of the industry standard ACX plywood.

North Hollywood, CA (Issues Wire / PRWEB) January 9, 2008 -- A&S introduces the new exclusively engineered FlyWeight™ material which is up to 60% lighter.

At last, the case you can't afford not to buy. They're up to 60% lighter than traditional ATA cases, but even stronger, and here's the best part… within the first few trips they pay for themselves.

When open wheel racing team customers asked A&S:
"Can you significantly reduce the weight of our pit boxes and tool cases so we can take more spare parts and electronic gear to international races giving us a critical advantage in our pursuit of victories in the racing series?"

A&S Listened & A&S FlyWeight™ is the new light-weight material solution. A&S developed it to drastically reduce the weight of the ATA cases they manufacture while simultaneously improving the strength. This project began at the request of open wheel racing teams across the country who have weight restrictions. The teams are scrutinized closely on the total cargo they can bring aboard the 747 freighters that transport their race cars & gear to these races around the world. A&S quickly realized… if they could provide the solution for this market, they could address the needs of all of their customers dealing with increased weight restrictions from the airlines & freight costs.

A&S, therefore, adapted these new materials to their more traditional products like rack cases, trunks & workboxes. The results are cases that have a wood weight reduction of up to 60% & are twice as strong as those made of the industry standard ACX plywood. With the prices of gas, diesel & aviation fuels skyrocketing & driving up shipping costs, the weight savings in these cases will quickly recover the premium that these materials add to the initial purchase price of these cases in the first few trips.

As a leading manufacturer of custom ATA cases, A&S is the company that
industries turn to for the right solutions. A&S Case Company - Always Superior… Quality Without Compromise Since 1976. www.ascase.com
