ONTARIO, Calif., Oct 20 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perfectus Aluminum Inc. has issued the following: On October 12, 2017 the Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC), an industry group representing largely American aluminum extruders, posted to its blog a false narrative regarding a suit to which Perfectus Aluminum Inc. is a related party. The government is not “seeking unpaid duties from Perfectus for goods brought into the country.” Rather, the government is attempting to use a 2017 Department of Commerce determination to assess retroactive antidumping duties on goods imported as early as 2011. It is discouraging that AEC would tout such an obviously egregious government overstep as a “victory” to their members and the industry: were it one of AEC’s own members facing such an obvious violation of fair play and due process, it would rightfully argue that government overreach is a threat to manufacturers everywhere.
In addition to the hypocrisy of the AEC’s promotion of this case, its stance on the underlying issues warrant serious scrutiny. AEC’s position, which it has articulated in numerous filings before the Department of Commerce, is that permitting Perfectus’ product to enter the American stream of commerce would, in AEC’s words, “harm U.S. producers.” It bears repeating that at the time Perfectus’ products were detained—in direct response to AEC’s victory before Commerce—they were in a port leaving the United States. If the AEC gets its wish and Perfectus’ goods are indeed forfeited, they would be liquidated and would, by law, be released in some form into the open market: the very outcome AEC purports to fear most. Finally, allegations do not equate to guilt. Cherry-picking language from a civil complaint to promote a false narrative is both unethical and untruthful. To this end, Perfectus has attached its filing, in its entirety, at the end of this release. Please address any questions to Harris, Baio & McCullough at 215-440-9800.

(EEC) introduces the EST-300 series, a next-generation Hipot tester delivering industry-leading compact size combined with powerful 3-in-1 performance. This new advanced Hipot tester economically integrates AC/DC withstand and insulation resistance functionality in a single solution. The EST-300 series’ compact form factor makes it the optimal choice for mobility, while also allowing it to integrate readily into any confined testing environment.
“The EST-300 series is one of the world’s smallest and lightest devices of its type. We designed it with the dimensions of a piece of A4 paper and a weight of only 5.5kg. This reduced its length by 18.3 percent and weight by 43 percent compared to the industry standard,” said Brian Chen, EEC general manager. “This is a remarkable achievement, and gives manufactures the flexibility to move and alter their work area to maximize space usage.” The EST-300’s compact size does not compromise the device’s performance or reliability. The series delivers high testing efficiencies that show in every detail. The built-in ARC detection feature — utilized by many top-tier manufactures — detects abnormal circuit shorts, preventing poor gap spacing that can cause dielectric breakdowns while enhancing quality assurance. The ramp-high and charge-low functions increase efficiency, eliminating common errors from the DUT’s test results caused by current overshoots and faulty connections. Safety is always priority at EEC. The company’s exclusive patented fast discharge feature allows the DUT to efficiently released excess electricity within 50ms, ensuring maximum protection for operators. The EST-300 series is TÜV-certified for excellent reliability and safety for further assurance and peace of mind. The intuitive interface simplifies operation, allowing users to smoothly issue commands with the swipe of a finger, easily set up test parameters and steps, and program automation remotely via USB connection. Additionally, the EST-300 series allows expansion with a ground bond tester to create a more complete testing system.
