The Createch Group’s SAP team succeeds in implementing the solution in only three months.

Toronto, Canada – February 22, 2008 – The Createch Group, a leading Canadian provider of supply chain optimization services and information technology solution integration, announced today that it has completed the implementation of the SAP ERP 6.0 software package at Kingspan Insulated Panels Ltd., a division of Kingspan Group plc. Following its recent acquisition of this Canadian division which specializes in the design and manufacture of high quality insulated roof, wall and façade systems for the construction industry, Kingspan decided to invest in an ERP solution that would meet its needs as a growth-oriented company.

“This project carried out at Kingspan Insulated Panels Ltd. has been a tremendous success in providing strong business value, while implementing the solution in a very rapid three month time frame.”, said Patrick Hickey, Sales and Service Vice-President, Ontario SAP Business Unit. “Working closely together with the Kingspan team we provided a complete SAP solution consisting of all functionalities – including Finance, Asset Management, Controlling, Sales and Distribution, Production Planning and Material Management.”

According to Jon Henderson, Financial Director of Kingspan Insulated Panels: “We are already seeing a significant improvement in both the quantity and quality of the information that is available to us. We are now in a position to make decisions based on concrete data rather than instinct. SAP ERP 6.0 will be an excellent platform to continue Kingspan’s aggressive growth into the North American market place.”

The Kingspan Group plc is extremely satisfied with the implementation and services provided by The Createch Group and has extended the relationship into the deployment of the SAP solution throughout the remaining Canadian divisions of the company in the upcoming months.

“The know-how of the Group’s experts and their in-depth knowledge of the solution were certainly instrumental in successfully completing this project. It goes without saying that their presence will be crucial in the course of our future plans for similar projects in Canada”, declared Jon Henderson.

Adds Patrick Hickey “This project was truly executed according to our best trade practices. Working with the people at Kingspan was a real pleasure. Their open-mindedness and availability, their passion and alertness made our work so much easier and we are certainly thrilled to learn that our business relationship with Kingspan will continue to thrive in the near future.”
