Algae prevention treatment of holding pond<br />
in the region and eventually even relocate our head<br />
<br />
markets that we want to get close to and work in<br />
a variety of innovative partnerships both with customers<br />
and distributors.<br />
This is best practiced with a strong presence and<br />
basing yourself closer to your customers. As the<br />
business continues to grow we will look to expand<br />
our science base beyond Australia and move that<br />
into the region as well, it is our intention wo build<br />
relationships with educational facilities and other<br />
science based businesses to increase the depth and<br />
credibility of the product range.<br />
Could you share with us your current range of<br />
products?<br />
A: We currently have over 25 products in the<br />
range targeting four main areas of use, Cleaning<br />
Products, Sanitisers, Odour Control and Waste<br />
Water Remediation are where our products are<br />
currently used. We have products such as General<br />
Purpose Cleaners, Bathroom Cleaners and Floor<br />
Cleaners that are used by the Hotel and Cleaning<br />
industries.<br />
<br />
of waste water of all types. Odour control products<br />
that can be used from domestic to large commercial<br />
applications. A unique range of sanitisers including<br />
two patented products, a long lasting surface<br />
sanitiser that will continue to kill germs on a hard<br />
42<br />
surface for up to 30 days and air sanitiser that will<br />
kill airborne bacteria and mould. Even our Hand<br />
sanitiser is Alcohol Free contains skin moisturis-<br />
<br />
Which type of product / market segment would<br />
you say is the bulk of your revenue coming from?<br />
A: The washroom and hygiene service industry<br />
is currently one of our largest areas of supply.<br />
Our bacterial products are currently used in over<br />
200,000 public and commercial washrooms every<br />
day to control the waste and odour emanating from<br />
the toilet and urinal systems.<br />
Our sanitisers are used to control harmful bacteria<br />
in the air and on the hard surfaces throughout<br />
the washroom environment. Health acre and<br />
educational facilities are building within our business<br />
as is the hospitality market through the provision<br />
of goods to hotels for cleaning and sanitizing<br />
purposes.<br />
Treatment of commercial waste in grease traps<br />
is something that we are also working on developing<br />
in the region as we have been doing this for a<br />
number of years in Australia.<br />
Any plans to explore other industries which may<br />
provide avenues for revenue?<br />
A: Yes, we spent many years researching the<br />
Aquaculture market and waste water remediation.<br />
We have a range of products that can be applied to<br />
these industries and we see this as one our larger<br />
potential markets given the enormity of the issues<br />
surrounding waste water. Commercial waste from<br />
manufacturing, healthcare, education and primary<br />
industry are key targets for us.<br />
What is your outlook for the industry in the<br />
current economic climate?<br />
A: Very positive. People are looking for environmentally<br />
responsible solutions to their everyday<br />
problems and we can provide that. There is<br />
the common misconception that an environmentally<br />
solution will either cost more or not work as<br />
well as a chemical solution.<br />
<br />
products will outperform harsh or toxic chemical<br />
alternatives and do so at a more than competitive<br />
<br />
we still have to win business on a price basis as our<br />
<br />
businesses and this will continue to put pressure on<br />
our selling margins.<br />
ers<br />
will start to pay more attention to the environment<br />
and their impact on it. More and more companies<br />
are becoming accredited to ISO <strong>14</strong>001, the<br />
Environmental Management Standard and we<br />
can help them with this while saving them money<br />
and providing them with solutions they never had<br />
before.<br />
