310 Holdings Inc. Acquires Chemical Company Pak-It
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Oct. 1, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 310 Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:TRTN) is pleased to announce that the Company has completed the acquisition of Pak-It, LLC, a privately owned chemical company. Pak-It shareholders will receive 625,000 of 310 restricted Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement. The income from the combined operations of the entities as well as licensing fees will be used to pay off all Pak-It debt (approximately $3.6 million) and provide working capital to the Company for other operations. The Company also intends to open a Pak-It manufacturing operation in Canada.
The acquired company currently does business as Pak-It(TM), DCL Solutions (a bulk chemical packaging company), and Vanguard with its administrative and selling office in Clearwater, Florida, and the DCL 60,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing factory located in Philadelphia, PA. Visit www.pakit.com for detailed information on Pak-It.
Pak-It, with 42 products, currently uses its patented Pak-It(TM) water-soluble liquid packets to deliver concentrated glass cleaner, disinfectant, and many essential multi-purpose cleaning products for use on floors, carpets, in kitchens, restrooms, and laundry establishments, etc., shipped in tiny packages of condensed cleaner. This delivery method is "green" since it's fully biodegradable and saves thousands of dollars in shipping, and does not contribute to landfill waste or pollution. The user simply adds water to the container without measuring, ripping, or cutting the Pak-It(TM). Large national retailers as well as numerous building maintenance contractors are already successfully using these eco-friendly products and have documented significant cost savings from shipping, training, inventory control and space utilization.
John Bordynuik, 310 Holdings Inc. CEO and President, stated, "We are extremely excited about this important acquisition, since the shared facilities of DCL Solutions will provide us with the expertise and ability to produce our proprietary catalyst and accelerate the planned expansion of our P2O technology and processors, in addition to giving us a green product line with huge revenue potential and excellent profit margins. Furthermore, we also gain access to a powerful management team with over 100 years of combined business experience, specializing in international marketing, finance, law, operations, restructurings, and mergers and acquisitions."
Pak-It will set up a manufacturing site and deliver two machines to Canada in order for 310's operations staff to produce sufficient "Made in Canada" packet quantities to satisfy anticipated market demand. The Canadian Pak-It operations staff will be housed in the Company's existing Niagara Falls office location. Management believes that the Canadian marketplace offers huge growth potential for this unique, cost-effective "green" product line and, consequently, will be launching an aggressive marketing and media campaign to introduce and develop Pak-It brand awareness. Furthermore, 310 Holdings Inc. will be introducing the Pak-It products to its existing institutional clientele to add to already growing U.S. operations and sales.
Pak-It executives joining the 310 team include Pak-It CEO Robert G. Shoemaker; founders Geoffrey C. Weber, Richard M. Haber and Stephen Seneca; VP of Operations and Technical Director Ronald Kurp; and Vice President of Sales & Marketing Frank Wiley.
Commenting on the new 310, Mr. Bordynuik said, "These new appointments in the 310 management team will provide a solid foundation for scaling the entire organization to execute rapid growth in our profit centers, and provide the most innovative technologies to our customers. Our team will be complete with a CFO that we will be appointing in the next few days."
Over the next few days, 310 will issue further press releases to provide shareholders information about Plastic2Oil, Data Migration, Javaco, and Pak-It updates.
