Marketwired
Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PECD) announced that its new
15,000 square state of the art manufacturing facility in Miami,
Florida is now operational. The facility has been specifically
designed for the custom manufacturing of its patented litter
products to include conveying, blending and packaging equipment for
high volume requirements. The manufacturing site, co-located with
the Company's corporate offices includes a fully equipped testing
laboratory for quality assurance and new product development. It is
intended that other products will eventually be produced from this
same facility.
Ralph Steckel, President and CEO, noted that, "The new
manufacturing facility provides Pet Ecology with significantly
increased production capacity, estimated to be in excess of 1.2
million pounds of litter per month. This allows us to approach
major discounters such as Walmart and Target with the confidence
that we can deliver product, while simultaneously expanding our
presence in retail food and drug chains." He went on to say that,
"The capacity of our plant is approximately 6 times greater than
what we can secure from our present outsourced contract
manufacturing locations and it gives us the flexibility of being
able to react immediately to customer product need."
He also noted that, "We have been able to secure from component
vendors cost reductions approximating 35%. Combining this with an
expected 65% reduction in the cost of blending and packaging due to
having our own manufacturing site would say that we expect to be
more than competitive in the market place than we have been in the
past while maintaining and improving our margins."
The Company reported further that on or about April 17, 2009 a
custom software installation will be completed allowing for
improved customer ordering, support and management reporting.
About Pet Ecology Brands, Inc.
Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. has developed a revolutionary patented
cat litter that destroys urine odor, clumps, and is earth-friendly.
The litter is ultra-lightweight and convenient to use (3 lbs works
like 21 lbs of clay/sand-based products), it is 100% flushable and
safe for sewer and septic tank systems. Most importantly, it is
completely safe for cats and our environment, and does not contain
any sodium bentonite, as used in many competing brands. The design
helps to protect the landfills, and yet does everything that clay
litters do... and more. It has the ability to help indicate certain
diseases commonly occurring in cats. The technique used is similar
to that found in Merck's Veterinarian Manual. However, this litter
not only warns of possible illness, but may also help indicate how
far along the illness may be by the color the litter changes to,
thereby providing the pet owner significant additional benefits and
an early warning system concerning the cat's health.
Pet Ecology's K-9 Fat Free Dog Treats(TM) are the first fat free
treats on the market that meet the standards of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, and offer dog owners an effective means to provide
their pets with a non-fat tasty treat. They are also cholesterol
free and sodium free. According to U.S. News & World Report,
"the number one health problem for dogs is obesity." Today, dogs
are fed fat rich food and treats, and often get significantly less
exercise than required to maintain an ideal weight and healthy
condition. Overweight dogs are more prone to serious injury,
skeletal stress, and the same complications that people experience
with significant weight gain via fat rich diets, ranging from heart
and lung problems, to skin and kidney diseases, to circulatory and
immune system issues.
