GUELPH, ON–(Marketwired – April 26, 2016) – ENPAR (TSX VENTURE: ENP) is entering a new phase as the Company implements growth-based marketing and manufacturing strategies. Given the number of important transactions that have occurred over the past year, management reflects on their importance in developing and executing a manufacturing and sales platform for ENPAR’s patented water treatment systems within domestic and international markets.
Management believes that recent events demonstrate that the Company is on the path to commercial success. Although each transaction represents a significant noteworthy achievement, together they demonstrate that ENPAR is in an enviable position to experience, simultaneously, three essential elements for success: proven novel patented water treatment technologies; growing market demand for these technologies; and, strategic partners with the corporate and financial resources to execute a strategic roll out plan.
The most notable recent events are:
March 29, 2016: Exclusive sales and marketing agency agreement with its strategic partner CHEMSBRO of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. ENPAR’s patented ESD demineralization technology has been validated in Saudi Arabia with the commercial sale of the ESD 100K system in late 2015 (project valued at approximately CAD $365,000). The partners have developed a strategic sales and marketing plan specifically tailored for the Middle East. CHESMBRO and the influential Saudi group of companies bring three key ingredients to the partnership: a stellar reputation as an industry leader in the water sector; the resources needed to execute the strategic marketing and sales plan; and, intimate knowledge of the region and its water treatment needs. In addition to the pending sale of the ESD900k system to CHEMSBRO, management anticipates other commercial sales in 2016 via this partnership. Strategic Partner/Novel Technology/Market Demand
