VISTA, Calif., March 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Building
Products, Inc., (OTCQB: ECOB) is excited to announce that today,
the Company has shipped its first order in the South to Cobblestone
Mill Woodworks, Inc. located in Ball
Ground, Georgia. Cobblestone previously utilized wood
treatment services from a Canadian supplier lacking sufficient
quality control measures and technical support, resulting in a
newly formed business relationship with ECOB. Additionally, the
Company has cultivated a builder relationship in the Northeast by
way of John Simmons and AGM for the
use of Eco Red Shield protected lumber for an entire house package
headed into Breezy Point, New York
that starts framing on April 7, 2014.
This Breezy Point builder received building plans specified
with Eco Red Shield protected lumber which led to a complete
special order purchase from The Home Depot and a follow-on call
with ECOB CEO Steve Conboy, in which
the builder stated, "He will never again build with raw lumber".
AGM Principal, John Simmons, is
preparing to release a second whole-house package to ECOB with
another four more residential projects in the queue all of which
will utilize ECOB's advanced framing lumber. Our team effort
between the Company and like-minded builders represents the
adoption of this technology via the display of defensive building
practices in heavily saturated rebuilding regions including
Breezy Point and the New Jersey
Shore, where builders and contractors are looking to build with
more than just raw, unprotected lumber.
"As mentioned in recent news, the demand in the Northeast
started with one house. Now in early April, there will be red
buildings popping in NY and NJ, supported by trucks full of red
lumber hitting the road this week setting on the shelf inventory in
big box locations all across the region. Americans are
rallying coast to coast, including government and fire officials,
while the lumber industry continues to resist change. If we are
going to lead the world in residential construction, we need
like-minded contractors to stand up in the face of adversity, and
make the change to the newest and best American brand of lumber,
Eco Red Shield protected lumber," stated Steve Conboy, President/CEO, Eco Building
Products, Inc.
Also of relevance, the Company received communication today from
a representative with the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational
Safety & Health Administration with a link to Tuesday's
under-construction apartment complex fire in Houston stating that he and his team are now
promoting Eco Red Shield protected lumber products.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg9PWSHL4Vg this massive fire has
been reported to have started during welding work on the roof of
the building. A recent testimonial from a safety manager on a
multi-family jobsite supports Eco's position in the Industry and
the use of Eco Red Shield protected lumber products on all
jobsites.
I wanted to tell you I witnessed firsthand the effectiveness
of the Eco Red Shield fire retardant qualities. As a safety manager
for a general contractor, fire prevention on wood frame projects is
a major concern. We had a situation where we had to weld a 1-1/4"
inch all thread to an I-beam which had been sheeted over with OSB
sheeting treated with Eco Red Shield. After a 2-½" hole was drilled
in the OSB and hot work procedures were implemented, the welding
began. During the arc welding process I noticed very little smoke
coming from the OSB. When the welding was completed, the smoke
subsided almost instantly. The interior of the OSB board glowed red
for a second or two and stopped smoldering shortly thereafter. What
an amazing product. I would recommend Eco Red Shield treated
materials to anyone involved with a wood frame project.
"Needless to say, these are exciting times for all of us at Eco.
We have assembled a hard working team that has created the
opportunity for the upcoming spring run showcase of our products in
the Sandy rebuild. We have stayed true to our plan despite being
attacked by others in the wood treatment space who are obviously
threatened by our success. Our stockholders tell us what the
internet message board naysayers are saying about us. At Eco we pay
no attention to naysayers we keep our heads down and work hard
because we are brick and mortar people that believe our hard work
is revolutionizing the lumber industry. One day the naysayers will
realize that big box would not be rolling out Eco Red Shield
creating shelf space in every store in NY and NJ during their busy
spring run season if they did not perform proper due diligence. At
Eco we all believe our lumber could be the future and the best
lumber the building industry has ever seen," added Conboy.
