MITY-LITE INTRODUCES NEW PORTABLE ENCORE STAGING SYSTEM

OREM, Utah — November 10, 2008 —Mity-Lite today announces an all-in-one performer, Encore Staging, the company’s first entry into the growing market for portable staging products. Encore Staging incorporates a patent-pending design that features legs permanently attached to the stage deck to ensure a safe, space-saving solution. Each 4’0 by 8’0 deck section also combines a unique nesting feature with powerful draw-latch connections that facilitate quick set up and ensure a smooth finished deck surface.

“Mity-Lite is excited to bring this innovative and competitive staging system to market,” said CEO Randy Hales. “The design features built into Encore Staging deliver on our customers’ expectations for a world-class product with unmatched service, premium quality, and a lower total cost of ownership.”

The compact and self-contained Encore staging product is perfect for venues with limited storage capacity and events requiring quick and simple installation and dismantling. Moreover, Encore Staging’s legs are permanently attached and fold neatly under the deck to create a space-saving solution.

A patent-pending frame design delivers enduring structural performance with a weight capacity of
200 lbs. per square foot (6,400 lbs per 4’0 by 8’0 deck section). Sloping and/or uneven floors no longer present a problem due to Encore Staging’s height adjustment feature complemented by patent-pending, auto-tightening leg locks that work to create a wobble-free and whisper-quiet stage environment.

The Encore stair system can be attached and secured in place with a proprietary safety lock in seconds without the use of tools. The product’s Unistrut aluminum framing system allows for the secure attachment of guardrails, skirting, and the stair system, and is compatible with standard accessories such as pipe and drape, lighting and sound systems, ADA lifts, and signage.

Designed to satisfy a range of flexible staging applications, the stage’s legs allow for quick height adjustment at 1 ½” intervals along with micro adjustment for any height in-between. The system’s all-aluminum light-weight components will not tarnish and do not require touch-ups. Encore Staging’s cart includes a “helping hand”—a stablilizing mechanism that gives an individual the ability to load and secure up to eight decks (256 square feet) for transport and storage.

On display at the 2008 International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show in New York City this month
(Booth #1202), Encore Staging is immediately available worldwide. Call 800.327.1692 or 801.224.0589.

MITY-LITE DELIVERS ON MAGNATTACH PREMIER PORTABLE DANCE FLOOR
New Laminate Surfacing Makes Magnattach Flooring a Rock-solid Contender

OREM, Utah — July 28, 2008 — Mity-Lite today announced a new laminate surface option for its custom-sized Magnattach Premier portable dance floor. Mity-Lite has combined the latest laminate surfacing technology from Wilsonart® with a powerful magnetic lock system to make the fastest, easiest to install dance floor on the market even more durable.

Available in three colors—Northern Birch, Black Cherry, and Cherry Rose—the new commercial-grade laminate flooring resists “scuff burns” and is low maintenance.

“The improved durability furthers the appeal of this flooring with venue owners and designers seeking superior quality standards in their portable dance floor,” said Mity-Lite Product Manager Tony Struhs.

With the patented Magnattach magnet and steel wedge-lock system, the installer can see that the floor is safely engaged without the use of tools as opposed to “Cam Lock” designs. Moreover, the strong magnets used in the Magnattach floor generate over 400 pounds of locking power. This total design solution means that the floor is installed more quickly, by fewer people, and without the risk of panel separation during use.

The Magnattach dance floor’s frame and trim are made of durable aircraft grade aluminum and also includes single-unit corner edging to simplify assembly. A heavy-duty cart provides convenient storage.

Magnattach flooring is available worldwide. For additional information, call 800.327.1692, 801.224.0589 or visit www.mitylite.com.
