VISTA, Calif., May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Building
Products, Inc., (PINK: ECOB) announced today that Eco Building
Products, Inc. Board of Directors and Funders held discussions
pertaining to current company business, including Eco Red Shield Advanced Framing Lumber
and Eco Armor painted products, both
of which are gaining momentum now with niche type business for
wholesale distribution throughout North
America, and even off-shore sales. The Board and Funders
recently learned that there is a Canadian group coming in to meet
Eco mid-May at the Company's Tacoma,
WA facility to discuss setting up Affiliate Licensee
Locations in Canada. Other
business opportunities that were discussed included products sold
to manufacturers looking to Eco's eco-friendly protection for
fulfillment of a purchase order to treat one million board feet of
lumber in the Georgia market. In
the discussion earlier this week, it became clear that there is
more business to support Eco's operations than just home builders
and house packs. It was also discussed how mold and air quality in
homes is now a new hot topic with UL recognizing these hazards as a
major threat to builders and supply companies, requiring their
focused attention because litigators are now chasing higher volumes
of mold claims which can affect air quality in homes.
Eco Building Products, Inc. President & CEO Steve Conboy commented that "Eco is in pursuit
of more 'coating service only' orders, along with finding more of
this niche type business, like lathe strips for roofing companies,
which will be produced out of the Company's Tacoma facility. The Tacoma facility has been in our plans from day
one as our MEGA facility. Tacoma
is coming online now with two Eco Red
Shield coating lines and an Eco
Armor paint line, and we plan to automate this operation and
increase our output by tenfold in the coming months. Eco Tacoma
will also operate as a reload where we will now get paid hidden
costs, which up until now, the Company had to bear the burden. This
means our MEGA facility will be paid to unload inbound rail cars
and trucks as well as loading outbound finished goods increasing
margin bringing us to positive cash flow sooner. We knew we had to
wait until now during the process of creating demand for protecting
wood fiber from mold, fire, termites and rot. In the past,
the Building Industry only recognized pressure treatment as [the]
process for protecting lumber. We consider our process, quality
controls, and warranty superior to pressure treated products and we
will not allow the Industry to put us in their same category when
our products are more technologically advanced and safer, while
providing protection for a wide range of products beyond landscape
timbers and mud sill."
