Exhibit 31.2
                                                                    ------------
                            SECTION 302 CERTIFICATION

I, Ronald J. Semanick, certify that:

1.     I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Paragon
       Technologies, Inc.;

2.     Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
       of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
       statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
       statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered
       by this report;

3.     Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
       information included in this report, fairly present in all material
       respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
       the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.     The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
       establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
       defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
       control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
       13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

         a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
             disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
             supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
             registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
             to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
             period in which this report is being prepared;

         b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
             such internal control over financial reporting to be designed
             under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
             the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
             financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
             generally accepted accounting principles;

         c)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
             controls and procedures and presented in this report our
             conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
             procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report
             based on such evaluation; and

         d)  Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
             control over financial reporting that occurred during the
             registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth
             fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
             materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
             the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.     The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based
       on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
       reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
       registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
       functions):

         a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
             or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
             are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability
             to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

         b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
             other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
             internal control over financial reporting.
