LifeTech Industries Partners with SunPlex Limited for Distribution in Africa - Potential Revenues of $75 Million
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeTech Industries, Inc. (OTCBB: LTCH) – a Company that provides innovative water solutions – has signed an exclusive ten-country distribution agreement with SunPlex Limited.
Millions in Africa, mostly children, die annually from preventable water and sanitation related diseases. In an effort to provide a solution to this crisis, LifeTech and SunPlex have agreed to a 5 year distribution plan which involves targeting medical facilities, government agencies, schools and establishing water depots in the following countries:
- Benin
- Cameroon
- Togo
- Ghana
- Cote D'ivoire
- Niger
- South Africa
- Tanzania
- Chad
- Nigeria
The distribution plan involves three phases. The first phase, already underway, is to obtain government approvals and endorsements for Airwell products – which are expected to occur by March 1, 2013.
The second phase of SunPlex's plan is to distribute Airwell products to hospitals, schools and government offices throughout the designated countries in Africa, and work with government agencies to set up water depots in areas where accessing clean and fresh water is extremely difficult. Currently, the proposal calls for a minimum of 100 Airwell units at each water depot, however LifeTech has already begun an R&D effort to develop a commercial-sized, customized solution to more closely suit the needs of SunPlex's, and others' such, proposals.
The final phase of SunPlex's proposal aims to partner with commercial and residential developers – incorporating the Airwell machines in their developmental plans – to which early discussions have suggested strong interest.
Under the terms of the agreement, the project has the potential to bring sales of up to $75 Million or more over the course of 5 years.
"SunPlex is an ideal partner for LifeTech in Africa. They have deep relationships with their regional sub-distributors, local re-sellers and consumers," stated Benjamin Chung, CEO for LifeTech. "SunPlex's reputation for providing dedicated customer service and support to their customers will greatly enhance the penetration of LifeTech's AirWell units into the African market where our product is much needed."
