Business Wire
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., (OTCBB:TOMZ), a global green
leader in infectious disease control and surface and air
remediation, and L-3 Communications, a leader in the aerospace and
defense industry, announced today that they have entered into a
relationship to commercialize current and future products developed
by L-3’s Applied Technologies Group (ATG). This partnership will
include rights to sell equipment in the United States, as well as
in Singapore, Thailand, India, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi
Arabia and Hungary.
L-3’s Applied Technologies Group has designed and developed a
binary ionization technology (BIT™) that produces a reactive oxygen
species which kills bacteria and mold spores, and inactivates
viruses, along with creating a transient sterilization of all
indoor and outdoor spaces. This technology is designed for fixed
installation in buildings, including hospitals or other health care
facilities. L-3's mobile unit, when worn as a backpack, can be used
to transiently sterilize public transportation systems, police and
fire vehicles or large public areas.
Dr. Halden Shane, CEO of TOMI, stated, “TOMI is thrilled to
partner with L-3 to commercialize its product line to our
remediating partners and foreign subsidiaries. I know that we can
now offer a solution to the complex problem of environments that
are contaminated by viruses such as health care associated
infections (HAI), which represent a $32 billion health concern.
This product also has homeland security decontamination
applications related to bioterrorism.”
“L-3 is excited to partner with TOMI to distribute our binary
ionization technology throughout the United States and abroad,”
stated Dr. Kurt Klimpel, COO of Binary Ionization, Inc. (BIT), a
division of L-3 ATG. “TOMI will introduce BIT to its existing
customer base, which gives us the potential to quickly expand the
reach of this technology worldwide.”
