Winning Brands Expanding in the Caribbean

BARRIE, ON (FRANKFURT: WMU) (www.WinningBrands.ca) reports the second commercial order for its Winning Colours� Stain Remover to the Caribbean will be shipped June 2008. Warner's One Stop Shopping Centre of St. Kitts & Nevis was Winning Brands' partner for testing in the region in order to sell the eco-friendly stain remover locally, with broader distribution discussions with Warner's as part of the arrangement if testing were successful. Experiences in that Caribbean test with Winning Brands' cleaning products since the November 2007 announcement of the first shipment there have been positive, leading to an expansion of Winning Brands' product offerings in the Caribbean from Winning Colours� Stain Remover to include the company's new KIND(TM) Laundry Products and CLEAN1(TM) Outdoor Cleaner. The target consumers were not only residents but also commercial tourism facilities because standards of cleanliness are particularly important in the hospitality industry.

The placement of Winning Brands products into the region is a logical progression Southward in the hemisphere for Winning Brands. Initially Winning Brands was a company that sold and made products only in Canada. Since then, the firm has been gradually and consistently expanding its capability to develop a large consumer following in the Americas by adding U.S. distribution arrangements, followed by U.S. manufacturing arrangements with larger production capacity, then further South with the initial shipment to the Caribbean, followed by arrangements for Northern Mexico. The replenishment shipment to the Caribbean is particularly significant because it follows realistic in-market experiences and the fact that the economic and operational conditions in the Caribbean are shared by several warm weather tourism markets internationally.

Winning Brands' Snr. VP Lorne Kelly remains focused on achieving listings for Winning Colours� Stain Remover and the other Winning Brands products by distributors/retailers at the 5,000 stores threshold in North America and the Caribbean by the end of 2008. The Caribbean's permanent population is approximately 20 Million, excluding Cuba, Puerto Rico and tourists. Kelly remarks -- "In addition to Winning Brands consumer products, the Caribbean is a natural source of growth for our SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning Solutions which are distributed for Winning Brands by Solvent Free Solutions Inc (www.SolventFree.ca). We already supply cruise ships; exploratory discussions for the first SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning facility in the area have also commenced."

Winning Brands' mission is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives, with an initial focus on cleaning products. The company manufactures Winning Colours� Stain Remover for consumer and industrial markets in North America and for export. Winning Colours� Stain Remover is making news for being strong as a solvent, but gentle as soap. This makes it easy to deal with complex stains with one convenient clean-up solution that is gentle to skin and to delicate surfaces. Winning Brands' full product range includes a variety of environmentally preferable cleaning solutions, including the non-toxic SMART(TM) Wet Cleaning Solutions alternative to Perchloroethylene used in Dry Cleaning, KIND(TM) Laundry Products and CLEAN1(TM) Outdoor Cleaner. Main production is at the Grand Rapids, Michigan facility of Surefil LLC, with some sizes manufactured at Winning Brands' facility in St. Catharines, Ontario.
