WTER News WaterChef Announces India Sales Representation Agreement
GLEN HEAD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2006--David A. Conway, President & CEO, WaterChef, Inc. announced that the Company had entered into a Sales Representation Agreement with the Marshall Group, based in New Delhi, for the marketing of its Pure Safe Water Stations throughout India. The Marshall Group (www.marshallproduce.com), a leading conglomerate in India, was founded in 1959 by Sam Marshall, and is a one of the leading agricultural and industrial products brokerage and shipping agents in India. The Marshall family has been active in Indian commerce since the '20s and has launched a new division to market WaterChef's PureSafe line of water purification products.
With a population in excess of 1.1 billion, a burgeoning economy and rapid industrialization, and the overexploitation of groundwater resources, India represents an enormous market potential for the WaterChef products. The migration of population and the clustering of industries around urban centers have escalated the demand for good-quality water both for industrial and domestic use. Commenting on its new marketing partner Mr. Conway expressed confidence that "With offices across India and Singapore, as well as associates in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the Marshall Group's relationships with India's leading companies and federal and local governments represents a great opportunity for sales of the PureSafe Water Station to supply pure water to those areas."
WaterChef, Inc. (OTCBB:WTER) is headquartered in Glen Head, New York, and manufactures the PureSafe Water Station in Bohemia, New York. The Company has received United Nations certification for its humanitarian pure water projects and has received product endorsement from the Scientific Director of UNESCO in Valencia, Spain. The PureSafe Water Station is a patented six-stage water purification system that provides pure water for less than a half penny per gallon. It destroys all living pathogens, and effectively treats a broad range of organic and inorganic water contaminants, without the use of chemicals and without wasting water. The Company offers stand-alone containerized versions of the PureSafe to provide from 15,000 up to 250,000 gallons a day, as well as units for brackish and ocean water desalination, heavy metals removal and the treatment of arsenic contaminated water.
