EcoBlu Products, Inc., (OTCBB: ECOB) announced today that our main production facility, located in Colton, California, is in process of a capacity expansion plan. With the increase in recent orders additional coating lines are being deployed increasing the daily board footage output.
Currently plans are in process to hire additional staff enabling coating operations to continue across multiple shifts per day. These measures will allow EcoBlu Products to double the factory output immediately. Further plans are in process to assemble and deploy additional coating machines for future capacity requirements.
In addition to the recently announced orders EcoBlu Products has received several additional orders requiring management to react to the capacity shortfall. EcoBlu has remained cautious of capacity increases in the past due to spikes in the market. With the current ramp and the increase in sales related activity now is the time to react to the market changes.
“We have seen our production demands rise over the past year, however I remained cautious to spikes in the market. My 30 years of lumber industry experience tells me that now is the time for EcoBlu to ratchet up our capacity,” said Steve Conboy, President and CEO of EcoBlu Products. “All our efforts in sales and marketing creating product awareness are taking hold.” added Conboy.
