TUCSON, Ariz., June 17, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Environmental Technologies, Inc. (OTC:EMTI) is pleased to announce that negotiations for the acquisition of proven, patented, revolutionary environmental technology are proceeding well, and that the Company believes it will succeed in completing the acquisition within days or weeks.
In addition to significantly reducing electrical, heating and cooling costs, improving air quality and humidity control, and achieving the virtual elimination of mold and mildew in buildings, the proprietary technology -- which we believe has the potential to revolutionize building-environment mechanics -- also produces pure water for use by building tenants.
The technology represents a quantum leap over conventional building energy-management systems, offering the potential to dramatically improve the workplace/living environment while capturing significant savings for commercial building owners/operators. Through a retrofit on existing commercial buildings, the system is capable of significantly reducing electrical as well as heating and cooling costs, while also improving air quality and humidity control, and achieving the virtual elimination of mold and mildew in the building. If current negotiations are successful, the acquisition of this technology will materially advance the Company's original business model as an environmental technology-driven company, and dramatically enhance its growth outlook in the foreseeable future.
The developer of the technology has successfully converted two facilities in the State of Florida and demonstrated energy savings in excess of 50% in both conversions while materially improving Air Quality. Simultaneously this technology has produced and distributed the purest and freshest drinking water compared to any and all other types of concepts utilized in improving water for human consumption in today's market. Further technology/mechanical development work will be necessary in order to expand into mass markets.
A New Focus
Management will be able, upon successful completion of the proposed acquisition, to focus its efforts on what it views as an extraordinary growth opportunity: the advancement of this new environmental technology to commercial fruition in a 21st century characterized by global environmental imperatives and a critical need to conserve energy.
