- Initial 30 homes scheduled to be manufactured at
South Carolina facility -
TORONTO,
April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -
Innovative Composites International Inc. ("ICI" or the "Company"),
(TSXV: IC) (OTCQX: ICIZF, a producer of patented protected
composite products targeting the multi-billion dollar prefabricated
modular housing and transportation markets, announced today an
agreement with MSP Property Management & Development Company
("MSP"), a company based out of Antigua
& Barbuda, to supply EcoScapeTM modular
homes for a housing project in Antigua. Manufacturing of Phase I,
consisting of 30 homes, will begin in May
2012 at the newly commissioned facility in Orangeburg, South Carolina.
"This agreement is the culmination of building
deep working relationships over the past year, which has the
potential to expand to over 150 homes," said Terry Ball, President and CEO of ICI. "The homes
built to supply Phase I will be manufactured from our recently
commissioned flagship facility in South
Carolina. We are proud to have been chosen to supply
our quality modular homes to help address the need for affordable
housing in the Antiguan market."
The EcoScapeTM homes to be
manufactured are based on a model home shipped to Antigua late last year with variations
requested by MSP. The homes are designed to be hurricane and
earthquake resistant, as well as rot, mould and insect resistant.
The speed of assembly, energy efficiency, quality and an attractive
price point contributes to the selection of EcoScapeTM
homes for this project. ICI will ship pre-finished complete home
kits to Antigua, which will be
assembled on site by local labour.
"The solid engineering, quickness in which a
home can be erected and quality of the finished material
differentiates the EcoScapeTM homes from other products
in the market," said Joseph Pinder,
CEO & Director of Operations of MSP. "The flexibility in floor
plans and pre-installed finishes, gives us an opportunity in
offering varying configurations of construction at a very
reasonable cost."
More specific details on the project will be
forthcoming as they become available.
