Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2021) - Universal PropTech Inc. (TSXV: UPI) (OTCQB: UPIPF) (FSE: 8LH) ("UPI" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the company is expanding the distribution of Air Sniper products across Canada and exploring sales into the United States. The company and Air Alpine Innovation Research Inc. ("Air Sniper") have agreed under a revised distribution agreement ("Agreement") to expand the Company's geographic reach, which now includes all of Canada and the United States. This revised distribution agreement comes as an update to its original agreement previously announced on February 1, 2021. The Company has agreed to convert its status as an exclusive Master Distributor for eastern Canada to a non-exclusive one covering both Canada and United States.
This amended Agreement will serve to both expand international markets for indoor air quality ("IAQ") products and enable the Company to have additional options in IAQ equipment, one that enables the Company to sustain its trusted advisor status with customers.
The company is currently in the process of speaking with various interested entities for the sale and distribution of Air Sniper products, and the company expects to update stakeholders in the coming days.
The President and CEO of Universal PropTech Inc., Mr. Chris Hazelton, stated, "We are excited to begin the process of increasing our geographic footprint with Air Sniper and provide potential customers across Canada and the United States with indoor air quality solutions they can trust." Mr. Hazelton further commented, "We have begun conversations with distribution and dealer partners seeking to provide customers with state-of-the-art MADE-IN-CANADA indoor air quality solutions."
