Marketwired
SGD Holdings, Ltd. (PINKSHEETS: SGDH), parent company of premier
environmentally friendly paper products manufacturer EcoPaper, Inc.
(www.ecopaper.com), today announced that the company on March 8,
2011 entered into an agreement with Aclor, Inc. in which SGD
Holdings will become a primary supplier of raw materials for Aclor
brands. Aclor, Inc. has submitted a purchase order to EcoPaper,
Inc. in the amount of $10 million worth of raw paper materials. The
order is anticipated to be fulfilled and delivered no later than
August 31, 2011.
Aclor, a privately held U.S. stationery and paper products
manufacturer and distributor, is also entering into an equipment
leasing agreement with SGD Holdings in order to expand its own
current manufacturing volume.
EcoPaper is also in the process of securing financing for the
purchase of more than $2 million of additional manufacturing
equipment that assists with and enhances order fulfillment, and
increases the viability of leaseback options to Aclor.
A letter of intent for SGD Holdings to acquire the assets and
intellectual property of Aclor was signed in November 2010 with an
expiration date of February 28, 2011. With an innovative and
mutually beneficial solution in place and expiration of the letter
of intent imminent, SGD Holdings has opted not to continue pursuit
of the acquisition of Aclor's assets and intellectual property.
"We always keep a keen eye on maximizing shareholder value, and
this option is the wisest for all parties involved," said Harry
Johansing, CEO of SGD Holdings, Ltd. "In the pursuit of acquiring
Aclor, we recognized that the only available financing methods
would dilute the company's stock. It makes more sense for both
companies to pursue other mutually beneficial options, such as this
$10 million order, that leverage our joint strengths and increase
our global reach. We're excited about the new technologies and
methodologies our new equipment will provide, and this alternative
agreement enhances our strategic plans for growth to the mutual
benefit of SGD Holdings, its stockholders and investors, and to
Aclor as well."
Aclor, Inc. is currently based in Atlanta, GA with manufacturing
plants and sales and distribution facilities located in Laredo,
Texas and Mexico.
