Though some impatient “investors” unrealistically demanded immediate and big sales agreements for the BioCloud unit, priced at $US 12,000 EACH $KNR CEO Paul Ghezzi and his team know that real success comes from building a real foundation – and they did that in a mind boggling 5 months. We’ve been in the smallcap business long enough to know that pulling off the following in 4 months is damn near impossible, until now:
DISTRIBUTION – On December 1, 2020 KNR announced Entering into Exclusive Distribution Agreement with United Safety and Survivability Corporation for BioCloud Technology Distribution in North America, Australia and New Zealand. The exclusivity applies to the industries defined as buses, rail and locomotive, subways, ambulances, fire trucks, first responder and military vehicles, with applicable associated facilities in the geography of North America , Australia , and New Zealand . The exclusivity period is 12 months with a six month mutual renewal option and is based on 5,000 units of BioCloud per annum, on a best efforts basis, to retain exclusivity. Pricing will not be disclosed for industry competitive purposes.
In addition, KNR has also entered into two non-exclusive BioCloud distribution agreements covering Ontario and Saskatchewan.
MANUFACTURING – KNR has engaged OES Inc. a local design and contract manufacturer in London, Ontario to produce the BioCloud units. OES Inc. has a long and established history of assisting with the design and manufacturing of complex technology. Initial maximum capacity has been set at 10,000 units per month.
