Expansion of Excelyte manufacturing plant completed at Midland

Nov 19 2009

Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (OTCBB: IEVM) announces that Benchmark Performance Group, Inc., its exclusive worldwide distributor serving the oil and gas industry, has completed the expansion of its Excelyte® manufacturing plant at its Midland, Texas facility. This expansion has significantly increased capacity over its original plant capabilities.

Benchmark markets IEVM’s EcaFlo® Anolyte under the registered trade name, Excelyte®. EcaFlo® Anolyte received its EPA product registration on August 18, 2008 and is the only environmentally responsible biocide of its kind. Excelyte® has seen a significant increase in market demand; therefore, a number of other Excelyte® expansions are planned for Benchmark’s seven (7) other manufacturing facilities throughout the United States.

Wayne Kinsey, President and CEO of Benchmark, stated, “Recently, we’ve seen a significant, growing demand for Excelyte®. While this growth started for us in the oil and gas industry, we’ve seen a number of new applications for Excelyte® that include the hospital and medical industries, professional sports, schools and universities, and grocery store chains.” Excelyte® has been proven effective against scores of bacterial and viral pathogens, i.e. H1N1 (“swine flu”), methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”), E. coli and Salmonella.

IEVM’s President and CEO, Bill Prince, commented, “As a valued industry partner, Benchmark has invested a great deal of time, energy, money and other resources in developing markets for Excelyte®. We look forward to continuing to work together with Benchmark well into the future as we move Excelyte® forward in all markets and application areas.”
