Pacific Sands (PFSD) to Ramp Up Production Capacity in Anticipation of 100% + Sales Growth
Company Prepared to Meet 'Overwhelming Demand' in 2008
| Source: Pacific Sands, Inc.
RACINE, WI--(Marketwire - March 6, 2008) - Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCBB : PFSD ), which
manufactures the 'low-chem' ecoone® lines of pool and spa water treatment
solutions, and recently acquired 'Natural Choices Home Safe Products, LLC'
announced today that the company is ramping up its production capability to
meet the demands of anticipated growth in excess of 100% in the coming
year.
"The recent acquisition of the Natural Choices 'home safe' product lines
and its accompanying custom label business, combined with more than 45%
growth in ecoone® pool and spa product sales, has generated an
overwhelming demand on our in-house liquid filling capacity," said Pacific
Sands President and CEO, Michael Wynhoff. "Our current liquid filler line
is designed for larger runs of a limited number of SKU's. The Natural
Choices model is primarily geared toward shorter runs of numerous different
products." Wynhoff continued, "As evidenced by our 14 consecutive quarters
of same quarter sales growth, we are committed to increasing our revenues
and look forward to meeting demand in a timely manner."
The Company is scheduled to install an automated, quick changeover, liquid
filling line on March 20 as well as a powder filling facility in April to
handle the increasing demand for its 'Oxy-Boost' and private label
products. Additionally, the Company is working to increase the capacity and
automation of its exiting liquid filling system.
Natural Choices, prior to being purchased by Pacific Sands, used contract
fillers for the majority of its large liquid and powder product production
orders.
Management anticipates that the additional production capacity will reduce
overall manufacturing cost of the Natural Choices products by as much as
15% to 18%. The Company has secured lease financing for the planned
equipment upgrades and anticipates that the immediate cost savings and
increased productivity will more than pay for added expenses immediately.
Pacific Sands, Inc., promoting earth, health, pet and kid-friendly
chemistry solutions, is publicly traded on the NASDAQ OTCBB. The company's
