International Barrier Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: IBTGF) (TSX-V: IBH),
a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of proprietary
fire-resistant building materials, has engaged The Investor
Relations Group ("IRG"), a thirteen-year-old, award-winning
corporate communications firm based in New York City, to serve as
its investor relations and public relations agency.
IRG's investor relations team will target specific portfolio
managers and equity analysts in the global investment community to
increase awareness of International Barrier Technology's corporate
opportunity. Concurrent with that effort, the public relations team
will initiate an outreach campaign targeting editors, writers, and
segment producers of local and national trade and consumer online,
print, radio, and broadcast media outlets worldwide to draw
awareness to their subsidiary company, Barrier Technology's line of
fire-rated building materials.
Dr. Michael Huddy, President and CEO of International Barrier
Technology, Inc., stated, "International Barrier has outlined a
bold set of initiatives for the rest of 2010, and we are confident
that IRG will have a great story to tell to the investment
community and the media at large. We are proud of Barrier's
progress to date in creating our line of fire-rated structural wood
panels, which have proven so successful in tests of fire resistance
and structural stability and which can provide a structure with a
burn-through resistance that is nearly triple that of untreated
wood panels. We are equally proud of our recently forged
relationship with LP® Building Products, which is currently
marketing our technology under the trademark name LP® FlameBlock™
Fire-Rated OSB Sheathing and with whom we hope to grow our business
considerably."
IRG's corporate communications program includes new media and
multimedia initiatives that involve the creation of broadcast-ready
corporate videos, podcasts, and the creation of social networking,
video service, and micro-blogging accounts. The Investor Relations
Group was recently honored with a "Stevie Award" for Investor
Relations Program of the Year and named a finalist in the Best
Media Website category from the 2009 American Business Awards.
