QUEBEC CITY, Dec. 7, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - (TSXV: HEO) –
H2O Innovation Inc. ("H2O Innovation" or the
"Company") wishes to make an update on the activities of its maple
equipment division ("H2O Maple"), which is experiencing
incredible growth in its revenues since the beginning of
fiscal year 2016. Revenues in the first quarter have increased 86%
over the comparable quarter of fiscal year 2015. This major
increase is the result of many factors, among others, the
relentless work of our maple team experts who strive, year after
year, to develop and market unique and innovative products that
improve and simplify the work of the maple syrup producers.
About two years ago, H2O Maple unveiled the
Super-ConcentratorTM, an innovative product specific to
maple production that concentrates maple sap up to 40° Brix,
something previously unheard of in the industry. This innovative
process was created through our core business expertise in membrane
filtration. By significantly increasing the sugar concentration
levels, the Super-ConcentratorTM reduces the water
quantity to be evaporated, which significantly reduces the energy
required for evaporation, simplifying the work of maple syrup
producers.
Another exclusive innovation from H2O Maple is the
H2O-SmartrekTM system. This monitoring and
data collection system allows maple syrup producers to better
monitor integrity of the collection network and quickly find leaks.
Maple syrup producers can thus maintain a constant suction at the
tap, increasing the productivity by 10%. Wireless and requiring no
Internet connection, the H2O-SmartrekTM
system is the most installed monitoring system in sugar
installations to date.
These products stand out because of their innovative technology,
opportunity for fuel savings, and exceptional yield.
"H2O Innovation is proud to be a maple equipment
supplier that offers innovative products to redefine maple syrup
production and promote forward thinking. The services offered by
our maple team are also a differentiating factor for our Company.
Our experienced technicians are supported by the engineering team
of H2O Innovation. The combination of these two teams
gives us a significant benefit in the maple industry," added
Rock Gaulin, Vice President Manufacturing and Maple Division
H2O Innovation.
These innovations, as well as all the other products and
equipment offered by H2O Maple, reinforce the Company's
position as a leader in the maple industry. H2O Maple's
market shares are increasing year after year, as is its distributor
network. To this date, the Company has added new distributors to
its network to cover the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and New
Brunswick. There are now a total of 17 distributors in
Canada and 20 in the United States.
