CORTE MADERA, Calif., April 19, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:STTK) and its subsidiary, Smart-tek Communications, Inc. announced today its revised schedule for presentations of its RTAC-PM bird flu containment solution.
"Our presentation scheduled for Philadelphia on Monday April 24th at the Philadelphia Airport Hotel has been postponed at the request of our host," said Perry Law, President of Smart-tek Communications, Inc. "While it is unfortunate that we are unable to introduce our system to the United States as scheduled, we will now focus our attention on our meetings in Romania scheduled for the first week of May with a potential licensee in the area. We are working on coordinating a possible presentation of our system to interested parties during our visit in Romania and we will announce more details as they become available.
"We are also in the process of finalizing our plans to meet with our licensee for Hong Kong and Singapore in order to prepare for a presentation in those regions. Our meetings with our licensee are scheduled to take place in late May."
"While the United States market is very important to us and we will aggressively pursue it, we are focusing our attention on areas of the world that have already been affected by this deadly disease and their governmental agencies are seeking viable solutions to help the containment of disastrous outbreaks," said Law.
The system, "RTAC-PM," was designed for the livestock industry and is targeted specifically for the poultry industry with user defined alerts that may assist governmental agencies to monitor poultry movement. The RTAC-PM system incorporates leading edge technology and is customized around customers' requirements with the flexibility to adapt to various types of OEM products.
