Carson City, NV & Hong Kong, Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 12 ReTech Corporation (OTCQB: RETC) announced today that it will be opening a technology showroom in Zurich, Switzerland partnering with Pietro Coppola, who will become a member of 12 Europe’s Board of Directors. This showroom will allow the Company to demonstrate the fully integrated 12 Technology Suite to European luxury brands and their retail partners. The Company intends to use this showroom to demonstrate the value proposition that our 12Mirror, 12AdScreen, 12SkyEye, 12InStore App and 12Mobile App solutions offer to retailers.
Angelo Ponzetta, 12 ReTech’s CEO stated, “We have been looking for a suitable demonstration facility in Europe for some time now. Partnering with Mr. Coppola makes sense as he has tenured experience and long-lasting relationships in the fashion and luxury goods retail industries. Our new partnership will give us the opportunity to work with Europe’s most famous luxury brands as well as their most prestigious retailers. Soon, we will be able to demonstrate what our technology can do for their businesses in this modern facility.
Angelo Ponzetta continued, “The new facility will not only serve to demonstrate our technology, but it will also become a showroom for European luxury goods and high-end fashion. It will feature dressing rooms and retail displays in a floorspace of more than 2,000 square feet. We plan to revolve brands through the space to constantly feature new ideas for the retailers that will visit us. We will be integrating our 12 Technology Suite into the fabric of the showroom operations so that leading designers can show their fashion collections with the use of our technology (by appointment only). This represents an excellent way to get in front of Europe’s prestigious retailers and show them how our technology can provide value to their businesses.”
Construction on the new facility begins in the next few weeks and we expect to be able to host our first shows in time for the 2018 to 2019 winter season.
