Marketing and Distribution

Through our brand awareness, marketing, social media presence and sales, our business growth objective is to be the global leader in disinfection and decontamination products sales, services, and manufacturing. We intend to continue to expand and support research and development on other decontamination and remediation solutions and to form more business alliances with strategic partners.

We continue to perform decontamination services within cleanrooms, bio-safety labs including BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs, tissue and blood labs, pharmaceutical labs, vivariums and research universities and we continue to secure additional license agreements with major remediation, construction, forensic clean-up and bio-safety servicing companies. Both of these strategies assist in the brand awareness and use of our suite of products.

We sell our products domestically and internationally through our internal sales force, as well as independent sales and manufacturing representatives. Internationally, our products are sold through exclusive and non-exclusive sales representatives and distributors.
