Key Executive Retained to
Expand Business Development Efforts With Top Tier Technology
Companies in Silicon Valley
SUNNYVALE, CA -- December 07, 2016 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Wellness Center USA, Inc. (
OTCQB:
WCUI), today announced that its whollyowned subsidiary,
StealthCo, Inc., dba
Stealth Mark, is seeking
opportunities to partner with major companies in Silicon Valley to
deploy its advanced anti-counterfeiting technology to protect
brands and consumers from fake smartphone batteries, chargers,
components, and more.
Stealth Mark’s push into Silicon Valley comes after Apple’s
(
NASDAQ:
AAPL) announcement to file a
lawsuit against Mobile Star, a
company making fake Apple chargers and cables and selling them on
Amazon.com disguised as authentic goods. Apple is
warning consumers to stay away from these fake products as they are
a risk to the public and could cause fires, injury, and even death,
due to their poor construction, inadequate insulation, and inferior
components. As per Apple’s statement in Wired’s article,
“Consumers, relying on Amazon.com’s reputation, have no reason to
suspect the power products they purchased from Amazon.com are
anything but genuine. This is particularly true where, as here, the
products are sold directly ‘by Amazon.com’ as genuine Apple
products using Apple’s own product marketing images.” (
Wired.co.uk).
WCUI has retained serial entrepreneur Michael D. Metcalf in the
role of Executive Vice President of Business Development to manage
Stealth Mark’s new office in Silicon Valley and pursue strategic
partnerships with top brand name companies. Mr. Metcalf is an
accomplished executive and is listed in the top 100 in Technology,
Entrepreneurs, and Silicon Valley. He is a proven technology leader
with multiple patents who previously won 25 top industry awards by
evangelizing new products. “Mr. Metcalf is tech savvy and has
a great reputation with other top executives. We feel honored to
have him join the team to lead our business development efforts,”
said Andrew Kandalepas, CEO & Chairman of WCUI, the parent
company of Stealth Mark.
“Counterfeiting today impacts up to 10% of global trade and
represents an estimated $1.7 trillion, an increase from the OECD’s
(Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) estimate
of $250B - $500B in 2009,” stated Michael Metcalf. “The top
tech companies in Silicon Valley are primary targets, and Stealth
Mark’s patented microparticle technology is the best solution for
major firms seeking brand protection. The biggest brands in the
world will be very excited once they see the 3D microparticles for
themselves and learn how they can be used to protect their
intellectual property,” continued Metcalf. “Stealth Mark
microparticles have the potential to be as common as bar codes, yet
impossible to duplicate making counterfeits extremely difficult. We
intend to pursue the best OEM’s branded products at the
microparticle level,” added Metcalf.
Stealth Mark’s unique anti-counterfeiting technology can be a
disruptive force in a market that has seen a huge influx of
counterfeit products flood online stores, tricking consumers into
purchasing faulty, unreliable, and sometimes dangerous smartphone
batteries, chargers, and components. By utilizing Stealth Mark’s
proprietary intelligent microparticle technology and Stealth Fire®
software suite, brands can protect themselves and consumers from
illicit threats lurking in stores and on the internet.
Stealth Mark intelligent microparticles are unduplicatable, and are
also undetectable to the human eye, providing absolute
authentication. They have been successful in both covert and overt
operations used primarily for authentication, anticounterfeiting
and diversion tactics. Stealth Mark is the only intelligent
microparticles available with virtually unlimited codes and
supported by a security management portal, and code verification
software that is portable, fast and accurate.
Stealth Mark’s new office is located in the heart of Silicon Valley
at 640 W California Ave #210, Sunnyvale, California 94086.
