SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 10, 2017) - Eco Building Products, Inc. (
"We have entered into discussions with potential joint venture partners as well as potential exclusive licensees for our Eco D-Fence™, Eco Red Shield™ line of products as well as our new FRC EWP™ fire retardant and are very excited to announce our new subsidiary as an excellent way to operationalize these new relationships and thereby monetize the IP," said Tom Comery, Eco's CEO.
"We have been very deliberate and methodical in repositioning the Company as a developer of new and disruptive, environmentally friendly wood protection chemistry. Having first announced the new strategy and direction early last year, we now have two patents pending as well as a new breakthrough in OSB fire retardant," commented Eco's CEO, Tom Comery.
"A natural next step in the strategy is to position our IP so that it can attract the industry partners necessary to maximize its full potential. Over the course of the past four months, we have advanced discussions, in depth, with multiple, major industry leaders that can bring distribution, capital and other resources to bear on what we all believe are extremely important new products."
Eco will own 95% of the subsidiary which will have a separate board of directors and governance. Eco's CEO, Tom Comery, will become CEO for both entities.
