HOUSTON, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 2, 2005 -- Patriot Mechanical Handling Inc. (Other OTC:PMHH.PK - News), a leading provider of mechanical handling solutions and services to the oil and gas industry, announced today that it has recently appointed Hexagon International and Co. as its exclusive Korean agent
"Korea was an easy choice for establishing an agent relationship, as it is home to several of the world's leading shipbuilders, including Hyundai and Samsung, which have the potential to generate millions of dollars in new sales for Patriot," commented Paul Findlay, CEO. "There is a serious shortage of offshore rigs, and shipyard space worldwide is at a several-year backlog, which puts pressure on prices and creates opportunity. Patriot is positioned to capture business from these disparities."

Patriot currently has offices & facilities in the United States, Brazil, Singapore and the U.K. The Korean agent relationship represents a second presence in the SE Asia region; add to this the Indian, Middle East and Vietnam agencies already in place and it is clear, Patriot is expanding globally.
