CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FluroTech Ltd . ( TSX-V: TEST ) ( OTCQB: FLURF ), (“ FluroTech ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has retained the services of CFN Media (“CFN”) of Los Angeles, California. CFN is a leading investor relations and communications advisory firm servicing cannabis companies across North American markets. CFN will provide investor relations and communication services to FluroTech for a term of six months for a monthly fee of US$10,000, payable in cash, subject to TSX-V approval.

"FluroTech is disrupting the cannabis testing model with a portable, fast and accurate technology solution”, said CFN President Frank Lane. "The company's proprietary CompleTest TM device and consumable testing kits could set a new agility standard in testing cannabis for potency in flower and oils, heavy metals, and pesticides."

“CFN has a proven track record of engaging North American investors interested in the cannabis sector,” commented Danny Dalla-Longa Chief Executive Officer of FluroTech. “CFN Media is a leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the global cannabis industry, helping companies operating in the space attract investors, capital, and publicity.”

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that the Company has recently received approval from The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") of New York to make the Company's shares DTC eligible.

DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, a U.S. company that manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through DTC are considered to be "DTC eligible".
