foundation we have been seeking to help Biosenta grow to in excess of a $100+
million per year sales organization within the next few years," said Biosenta
CEO Chris Bilz. "By solidifying our balance sheet and by taking better advantage
of our publicly listed status to attract institutional investors, we will have
the financial tools required to let our marketing and sales team get the job
done. ZeroMold(TM) is an incredible product that meets the needs of millions of
people in North America to eradicate their household mold or other microbial
contamination issues," he said.
"Biosenta has an excellent array of Mold Eradication products for both the
consumer and industrial markets that we believe can enjoy huge success in North
America," said BFC CEO Matthew Bassett. "We believe that through our new
partnership with Biosenta, they will be very well positioned to exploit these
markets with a renewed focus, and properly funded attack."
About Biosenta Inc.
Biosenta is the first company globally, to our knowledge, which has products
that can completely eradicate mold, bacteria and fungi on contact and prevent
re-growth. Other primarily bleach based products can eliminate surface issues
and odours but will not kill the spores that continue to cause the growth of the
microbial substances. The Biosenta products address the demand created by the
mounting health and environmental concerns that mold and other microbes can
affect the immune system, nervous system, liver, kidneys, blood and cause brain
damage. ZeroMold(TM) is the first product made available for sale at the retail
level and other, larger scale products, are also being developed for the
Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional ("ICI") markets on a global basis.
