HARTZ MOUNTAIN ATTRACTS MANHATTAN FIRM TO SECAUCUS WITH LOCATION, PRICING ADVANTAGES

SECAUCUS, N.J. - June 10, 2009 - Hartz Mountain Industries has announced that Capital Supply Company, a full-service janitorial supply company based in Manhattan, has leased 45,770 square feet of warehouse space at 111-115 Castle Road in Secaucus. This is the 53-year-old company's first facility in New Jersey.

The warehouse's close proximity to New York, as well as easy access to the adjacent Secaucus Transfer Station, were important attractions for Capital Supply, said vice president John Ambrosini. But it was the pricing comparison for a similar space in Manhattan that made Secaucus emerge as the best choice.

" We looked at Queens and the Bronx, which were both cheaper than Manhattan, but we saw the best savings and value in Secaucus," said Ambrosini. "And the ease of getting in and out of Manhattan from this location is very important to us, since the majority of our business services New York City."

"We are pleased that Manhattan-based firms continue to see the strong value of Hartz's facilities in North Jersey, and our organization looks forward to a long relationship with Capital Supply," said Emanuel Stern, president and chief operating officer of Hartz Mountain.
