businesses in urban infrastructure development and planning, construction and

to all of our Western Pacific Rim marketing and sales initiatives."
    Blake Edwards, GlobalTech Managing Director said, "The market for
Converters in China is enormous.  It's an economy growing by leaps and bounds.
Beijing is getting ready to host the 2008 Summer Olympics, the Green Olympics.
Shanghai is hosting the 2007 Asia Pacific Games and recently won the bid from
the Bureau of International Expositions in Monte Carlo to host the 2010 World

Plasma Converters to the world."

Zhengzhou to install its first Plasma Converter System and it expects this to
be closely followed by systems in Shanghai and Beijing.  GlobalTech currently
