GelTech Teams With Hydraulic Supply and Eaton to Provide Components and Manufacturing Support for GelTech's New Emergency Manhole FireIce Delivery System
GelTech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: GLTC), creators of FireIce, a revolutionary water enhancing fire suppressant that has the potential to change current firefighting techniques, announced today that it has teamed with Hydraulic Supply Company (HSC) and Eaton (NYSE: ETN) for major components and manufacturing support for GelTech's new Emergency Manhole FireIce Delivery System (EMFIDS) which will be marketed to utility companies worldwide. EMFIDS is an innovative system designed to deliver a mixture of FireIce® and water into a manhole in order to coat the ladder and the utility worker in the event of an incident involving an explosion or fire in the manhole while utility workers are performing routine repairs or maintenance.
"We have chosen HSC and Eaton for their superior quality products and their outstanding customer service and support," stated Peter Cordani, GelTech chief technology officer. "HSC and Eaton's dedication and attention to this project from the sales representatives to upper management has allowed us to forge a fantastic working relationship, one that is more like a partner than a vendor."
"We are excited to team with GelTech on the EMFIDS and look forward to a prosperous and beneficial relationship for all involved. As a full line Eaton Hydraulics Premier Select Distributor, HSC enjoys a privileged status with the world's leading manufacturer of Fluid Power products, which will enable us to provide the best possible solution in this application," said Luis Abellón, president, Hydraulic Supply Company.
"Around the world, the Eaton team helps customers manage hydraulic power more efficiently, effectively, safely and sustainably. We are proud to partner with Hydraulic Supply in working with GelTech to provide product and expertise for the EMFIDS project to create unique applications that are also environmentally friendly," said Shyam Kambeyanda, president, Hydraulics America, Eaton.
