CINCINNATI, OHIO, August 25, 2006...Milacron Inc. (NYSE: MZ), a leading global supplier of plastics-processing technologies and industrial fluids, today announced it has been notified by the New York Stock Exchange that it has fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard relating to minimum share price.
