EcoBlu Products' BLUWOOD(TM) Technology to be Introduced to Japanese Housing Market
June 07 2010 - 5:10PM
EcoBlu Products, Inc. (OTCBB:ECOB) announced today that it is
working with the Welco Lumber Corporation of Vancouver British
Columbia, Canada on developing a shipping program of EcoBlu's
BLUWOOD™ coated lumber into the Asian market. Welco Lumber and
EcoBlu Products, Inc. have met jointly with a large Japanese
builder, producing 400 homes per month, last week and are scheduled
to meet next week in British Columbia with a Korean lumber company.
Welco Lumber has been supplying building materials to the
Japanese market for some time but has recently made the decision to
introduce EcoBlu's BLUWOOD™ technology to be able to offer the
Japanese market protection from mold, rot, decay and termites, and
provide a higher quality home.
"Welco Lumber will be a strong partner for EcoBlu in the Asian
markets. With their vast international experience in many
markets, we know Welco will do a great job promoting
BLUWOOD™technology in Japan," said Steve Conboy, President and CEO
of EcoBlu Products. "Our Canadian affiliate Luxor Industrial
Corporation will be providing the coating services for Welco's
lumber," added Conboy.
Japan imports approximately 20,000 containers of Canadian SPF
(Spruce-Pine-Fir) lumber per year. Additionally, Japan is the
largest importer of softwood logs and lumber in the world, and the
Asia-Pacific region is the second-largest export market for
Canadian lumber, with Japan by far the leading market in the
region.
