Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. Visits Romania; Signs its Newest Licensee of its Bird Flu Containment Solution
CORTE MADERA, Calif., May 8, 2006 - Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: STTK) and its subsidiary, Smart-tek Communications, Inc. announced today that it has made its initial visit to Romania and has signed a new licensee for the region.
“We are very excited to have signed a licensing agreement with Best IT Solutions SRL, to help promote our RTAC-PM poultry monitoring system in Romania” said Perry Law, President of Smart-tek Communications, Inc. “Best IT Solutions is an established IT solutions provider located in Bucharest, Romania. We felt that based on the licensee’s team’s proven ability to introduce new technologies to the Romanian population, they would be a great fit to help us introduce our avian flu containment solution to the Romanian government”.
“During our meetings with our newest licensee, we discussed the current state of the poultry industry in Romania and we identified the need for an avian flu containment system, such as our RTAC-PM poultry monitoring system, to be implemented as part of a comprehensive containment strategy. The economic consequences of the bird flu have already been felt in Romania due to H5N1 outbreaks. The poultry industry is the center of some of their regional economies. Therefore, we feel it is imperative that containment solutions be implemented to help protect the Romanian economy. We believe that there is a great need for a poultry monitoring and tracking system to be implemented at the farm level in order for government officials to track poultry movements from the farmers to open markets” said Perry Law. “Our RTAC-PM system was designed for such application”. It is estimated that the total poultry inventories currently stands at 80 million.
“The next step to introduce our system to Romanian officials is to select a poultry farm and set-up a demonstration site of our RTAC-PM system. We will then invite government officials to visit the demonstration site and see the effectiveness of our system as part of a comprehensive bird flu containment strategy. We will announce further developments in the coming months as these activities progress” said Law.
The system, “RTAC-PM,” was designed for the livestock industry and is targeted specifically for the poultry industry with user defined alerts that may assist governmental agencies to monitor poultry movement. The RTAC-PM system incorporates leading edge technology and is customized around customers’ requirements with the flexibility to adapt to various types of OEM products.
