Biopack Updates United States Sustainable Product Launch
BPAC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: BPAC), a leading designer,
manufacturer, and supplier of 100% biodegradable packaging products, is
pleased to provide the following update on its expansion strategy in the
growing United States sustainable packaging market.
Biopack America, the Company's recently announced United States
distribution partner, has initiated a multi-faceted strategy to enhance
sales of sustainable packaging. Biopack America's strategy includes
direct sales of "to-go" containers and catering products, participation
in industry trade shows and conferences, and the identification and
selection of sub-distribution partners throughout the United States, as
more fully described below.
Direct Sales -
Biopack America has successfully introduced Biopack's sustainable
products into the United States, initially focusing on the restaurant
industry. Biopack America's customers, which can be found in many states
across the country, include:
--
Smoque BBQ, a famous BBQ eatery in Chicago which has been featured on
the Food Network's popular television show "Diners, Drive-ins, and
Dives."
--
Maya's Restaurant in Seattle Washington
--
Old Fisherman's Grotto in Monterey CA
--
Big Fish Branding in Erie, CO.
Tradeshows and Exhibitions -
Biopack's products have been showcased at several tradeshows, most
recently at the Produce Marketing Association ("PMA") show in Anaheim,
California. With more than 19,000 attendees, the PMA is one of the
largest international events solely dedicated to fruits, vegetables, and
floral. Of particular interest at the PMA was the Company's innovative
moisture, grease and water resistant trays or "coated" trays. In
addition to the PMA, Biopack participated at the Taste of Atlanta, a
food festival showcasing restaurants and foods throughout the Southwest.
Sub-distribution -
Biopack America has secured sub-distribution partnerships in Atlanta and
Puerto Rico to service the catering product markets. Biopack America has
entered into a letter of intent with G4 Packaging, a leading provider of
eco-friendly containers which is dedicated to supplying EPS foam
alternatives in the packaging market. G4 Packaging has long standing
relationships with retail chains, supermarkets and processors throughout
the United States.
"Biopack places a high priority on our growth in the United States,
which is the largest single market for packing in the world," commented
Mr. Gerald Lau, Chief Executive Officer of Biopack. "We feel strongly
that we are on the correct path following our multi-faceted strategy to
introduce our biodegradable and compostable products. Our experience has
led us to believe that it takes a lead time of about 6-12 months to
break into new markets and develop new products on a case by case basis,
so we are excited about the pace at which we are moving in the US. Our
early results have shown that we have a product that has been easily
accepted into the market, and we believe our efforts will result in
larger orders and establishing a diversified and lasting customer base.
The interest for our new spray coated products is also much higher than
we originally anticipated. I am very encouraged with the amount of
inquiries we have had in such a short period of time, and now that we
have tested the market, Biopack will move forward aggressively in our
expansion initiatives."
