VISTA, Calif., March 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Building
Products, Inc., (OTCQB: ECOB) announced today that the Company has
purchased additional automated coating equipment and the use of a
facility currently operational in Augusta, Georgia. The newly acquired equipment
is fully-functional and complete with automation, enabling the
Company to obtain an increased output rate. In addition to the
automated line, ECOB will refurbish an existing production line
under the provisions of the Company's current quality control
program, complete with pre and post-conditioning tunnels producing
a higher quality finished product. Moreover, the increased
production capacity will allow ECOB to reinforce its current market
position in the Northeastern U.S. with respect to panel production
to meet increasing big box demands.
"The demand in the northeast started with one house, and today
we are positioned with multiple coating lines and affiliate
production facilities to support that market. More recently, Eco
sold a whole-house pack into Omaha,
Nebraska and already the supply chain is calling for
Eco Red Shield protected lumber. In
the Pacific Northwest, Eco's Salem
facility remains fairly busy with lumber distributors like Shelter
Products and Blazer Industries sending product in for coating
services to support production jobsites in Texas, Colorado and pre-fab buildings heading
off-shore into Hawaii,"
stated Steve Conboy, President/CEO, Eco Building Products,
Inc. "We are expecting the same in the south as we are getting
calls from distributors already. Once we raise the Eco Flag in the
south, it is certain that the market will come to Eco for coating
services because we are convincing the lumber industry Eco is the
best in the business and here to stay," added Conboy.
Also in support of the Company's endeavors in the development,
production and distribution of eco-friendly protected lumber; the
USDA recently published a press release No. 0041.14 titled, USDA
Announces Support for Innovative, Sustainable Wood Building
Materials to Protect Environment and Create Jobs. This press
release can be viewed at the following link:

"We are getting calls now as if ECOB wrote this press release
because it sounds like it was written about Eco Red Shield and our online institute designed
to train Architects and Engineers, www.IDBP.org, about the need to
protect wood fiber strength, the carbon footprint, people that
occupy the homes and the first responders during fires. We are
excited to present our application to the USDA helping them
understand what ECOB has been doing to raise the bar on wood framed
buildings with protected lumber in highly impacted markets," added
Conboy.
