BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.

Dr. Halden Shane, CEO and Chairman of TOMI, stated: “The state of play for TOMI has never been more dynamic and TOMI experienced substantial change during 2016. Around the world, healthy living is becoming a priority, which we believe will result in TOMI seeing greater interest in its products from the healthcare sector, service division and food safety industry.
"Although our net revenue increased by more than 50%, it still fell short of expectations due to an overhaul of our sales force, administration and the training of new personnel.
"However, we managed uncertainty in the near-term and targeted our investments to accelerate future growth. We hired energetic and qualified personnel, developed promising technologies, formed important partnerships, and expanded our global footprint. We also boosted our digital presence, evolved our supply chain, and harnessed sustainable innovation to enhance our efficiency.”
