CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 07/04/13 — Seair Inc. (TSX VENTURE: SDS) (“Seair” or the “Company”) has entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with a leading Calgary based engineering and fabrication company (“joint venture partner” or “JVCO”). The MOU sets out the terms of the joint venture and establishes JVCO as Seair–s engineering, design and fabrication partner with an exclusive license to fabricate and market new and improved products that incorporates Seair–s technologies with the JVCO–s design, engineering and fabrication. The joint venture partner will also have the right to market and distribute the new and improved products to its customers through its existing channels in North America.
The MOU requires Seair and the joint venture partner to enter into a definitive agreement within the next 3 months, but allows them to commence design, engineering and fabrication work immediately under an agreed framework to capture near term opportunities for both companies.
Seair–s CEO Ric Charron says, “This strategic joint venture represents a real turning point for Seair. It provides us with the closest thing possible to having our own seamless integration of design, engineering and fabrication capacity. Our new joint venture partner is unique in the Alberta oil field in that they are one of the few companies that do both engineering and fabrication. This advantage will allow Seair to dramatically accelerate its response and delivery time and give us the ability to deliver high quality products, predictable turnaround times and reliability to our customers. It will increase our customers– confidence in working with Seair to achieve solutions to their complex water problems. Having a dedicated partner that wants to seize business opportunities with us and accelerate the growth of both of our companies will be a huge asset. Our joint venture partner will be involved at the very early stages of discussions with customers, which means that we–ll have the benefit of their design, engineering and fabrication from the outset. Seair will finally be in a position to provide a one-stop service to our customers, rather than having to deal exclusively with third party engineering firms. Our joint venture partner is recognized as one of Canada–s fastest growing companies and brings the same philosophy for growth and customer service that Seair is committed to achieving. As a result of this joint venture, Seair will now have the capacity for quick response, superior design and fabrication capability. This will instantly expand Seair–s customer base to deploy its technology as a result of this new joint venture. It–s a tremendous step forward.”
