"After an extensive period of development, we have finally begun the commercial launch of our ZBB EnerSystem™ energy storage and power control platform, including fulfilling a $6.7 million backlog," said Eric Apfelbach, president and CEO of ZBB Energy. "This clearly represents an inflection point of our growth, which was demonstrated once again last week with the contract award to provide ZBB EnerSystem technology to the U.S. Military."
"Given our increasing momentum that is supported by highly favorable industry dynamics, we believe our company and our shareholders would benefit from a team of experienced IR professionals who would help us effectively communicate our story and navigate the capital markets," continued Apfelbach.

In collaboration with ZBB Energy management, Liolios Group will refine and deliver the company's message to the financial community. Liolios Group will also schedule a number of one-on-one conference calls, road shows and financial conferences that will engage key influencers, such as equity analysts, institutional investors and members of the financial press.
Justin Vaicek, head of Liolios Group's Energy vertical, will oversee ZBB's new IR campaign. Vaicek is a seasoned executive with more than 18 years of experience in senior level management, equity research, portfolio analysis, and investor relations across multiple industries.
"ZBB Energy is benefiting from increasing awareness and demand for its energy storage and control systems," said Vaicek. "There are large, untapped opportunities globally for ZBB EnerSystem capabilities, where energy consumers face pressure to secure reliable, lower cost energy from variable sources.
"Operating under experienced management, and supported by strong global partners, the company has begun a multi-year, high-growth phase of its development. Liolios Group provides ZBB a well-established, proven platform upon which ZBB management can effectively engage key contacts in the investment community who will value this unique and compelling opportunity."
