[SHANGHAI=Whowired] Dec. 20, 2011 -- Ossen Innovation Co., Ltd. ("Ossen" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: OSN), a China-based manufacturer of an array of plain surface, rare earth and zinc coated pre-stressed steel materials, today announced that it has passed the certification required for certain types of pre-stressed steel materials to be sold in South Korea. The Company has started discussions with several prospective customers in South Korea.

Ossen passed a series of tests conducted by the Korean Standards Association covering areas such as product quality and manufacturing facility standards. The Korean government has maintained strict control over the use of imported pre-stressed steel materials on large domestic projects to below 30%. Starting in 2012, this cap will be increased to 50%.

"We are delighted to receive the certification from the Korean Standards Association," said Dr. Liang Tang, Chairman of Ossen Innovation. "It reaffirms the high quality of our products, as well as the strong track record we have implementing our pre-stressed steel products in large scale infrastructure projects around the world. As we manage through the short-term challenges in the domestic market, we will look to overseas markets such as South Korea and the U.S. for growth."
