The announcement of this news now positions UV Flu Technologies across a multitude of operational initiatives and industry segments including:
Sports and Athletics - Announced an order of UV-400 units in the locker room of the renowned Boston Bruins hockey team. "This is the second professional hockey team to put the UV-400 in their locker rooms, along with numerous colleges," noted Charles Gulteri President of New England Sports Sales (NESSI). "This could be one of the most important developments to college and professional sports in the last 20 years."

"Providing this extra level of protection sets us apart from the competition," said William Sander, GM of the Seagate Hotel. UV Flu announced a new hospitality initiative branded ABC ROOMS, representing guest rooms and public areas treated for Allergens/Bacteria/and Contaminants. One of the nation's largest 5 star hotels is currently evaluating the unit for all areas of its operation.
European Market - Profiled in two editions (July and October) of the prestigious UK industry opinion and analysis publication "The Public Service Review" featuring the latest initiatives and projects on best practices affecting public sector initiatives worldwide.

Industrial and Commercial - UV Flu announced a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire 100% of the ownership of a major US manufacturer of high quality industrial air purification equipment specializing in the medical and hospitality marketplace. The agreement includes a patented, trademarked product line, with dozens of national distributors and representatives, an extensive customer list, inventory, and all associated manufacturing equipment.
