SANTA CRUZ, Calif.,
May 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Nature's Peak / Everock, Inc. (Pink Sheets: EVRN) announced today
that it has negotiated principal terms of a joint venture with
Thomas Leib and Robert O'Connell,
the founders of National Retail Marketing Network / Source One
Sales and Marketing.
"Source One Sales and Marketing has been with us from the very
beginning," said Paul Wilkinson, CEO
of Nature's Peak / Everock, Inc. "So it is only natural that
anything we do to increase our product offerings, marketing and
sales should include Tom Leib and
Bob O'Connell."
"This joint venture makes sense on many levels. Most immediately
though, Nature's Peak will benefit through better cost efficiencies
now that our new partners have a bigger stake in our success."
Source One will remain independent of Nature's Peak and continue
to service all of its existing clients. The new company will
leverage the 60 years of combined marketing and sales experience as
well as the many Industry relationships that Tom and Bob bring to
the relationship.
Robert Oppenheimer of Core
Business One and Nature's Peak said, "Essentially, the new company
and structure will allow Nature's Peak to utilize and leverage its
common stock along with cash to acquire equity positions in a
portfolio of compatible product lines. Already, several companies
have expressed interest in our collaborative approach to increase
sales, marketing and distribution."
All the partners believe that this joint venture has the
potential to accelerate the sales and distribution of several
product lines – including Nature's Peak products – beyond what each
product or company would accomplish independently.
"This is an exciting milestone for the future of Nature's Peak,"
continued Robert Oppenheimer "The
new company will further support a faster distribution of Nature's
Peak VeggieDip and VeggieSpread by partnering with other companies
in a common channel distribution of compatible product lines."
