Radical Waters International (UK) LLP has signed a distribution agreement with ActivTek Environmental, a company with an air and surface purification business in Spain and offices in 19 countries worldwide.
In terms of the agreement, which is immediately effective, ActivTek has exclusive distribution rights for Radical Waters’ cutting edge Electrical Chemical Activation (ECA) technology in Spain, as well as distribution rights in Portugal.
Dr Christophe Suchy, founder of ActivTek Europe and CEO of ActivTek Environmental (pictured left) travels the world looking for new business opportunities. When he encountered Radical Waters’ technology, he immediately identified an opportunity to promote what he describes as “this amazing product” through his network in Spain and Portugal. Discussions are currently underway to extend rights to other countries where his group operates.
Radical Waters fills a gap in my product range by providing a state-of-the-art ecological surface purification and disinfection system. Having tested the market for interest in Radical Waters ECA, he says “Companies are very keen on testing this new ECA technology as it fits into their plans of becoming more sustainable and offers them a very fast return on investment”
Dr Suchy has already begun promoting Radical Waters ECA technology to his customers and distributors worldwide and says, “I believe Radical Waters and ActivTek are perfectly complementary companies with products that will push forward the safety limits of the food processing industry, providing consumers with better and safer products.”
Dr Suchy sees great opportunities for the application of ECA technology in Spain and Portugal which have an enormous number of water bottling plants, carbonated soft drinks plants and breweries, as well as dozens of liquor bottling plants. “The food processing industry in Spain and Portugal has a dire need for ECA technology in its quest for cost savings and to become greener and reduce dependence on chemicals,” he says.
Commenting on the agreement, Radical Waters Chairman Dion Friedland says, “Christophe and I have spent time together and I am tremendously impressed with his drive and determination to incorporate ECA technology into the growth plans of his fast expanding business. He understands the importance of excellent customer support and service, which will be an integral part of his growth strategy in markets where he plans to market Radical Waters ECA technology.”
“The synergy and excitement of the Radical Waters and ActivTek relationship is already working, based on the initial customer interest expressed in several meetings already held in Spain” says Radical Waters Commercial Head John Rivers-Moore. “The potential in Spain and Portugal, as well as in the other territories where ActivTek has a strong presence, especially Turkey and Brazil, is already being developed, indicating to us that ActivTek’s strong leadership and customer service is likely to lead to fast sales delivery,” he concludes.
ECA has become a topic of great interest for leading beverage and food companies as the “new alternative technology” and Radical Waters’ environmentally friendly”green” solutions offer an effective substitute for chemical cleaning-in-place (CIP). Plants using Radical Waters’ ECA technology repeatedly report substantial cost savings due to increased production time and reduced energy, chemical and water usage.
Radical Waters is in discussion with qualified distributors for its ECA technology in other markets.
