Hong Kong investors pave way for Dais Analytic involvement in China
BEIJING, CHINA, April 1, 2015 -- Hong Kong investment and financing firms SAGE Technology Investment and JHSE Technology Investment have announced the equity investment in Dais Analytic Corporation (OTC.BB: DLYT), a U.S.-based commercial nanotechnology materials and process company; the creation of Dais New Energy Technology Co.; and a $60-million contract commitment to support the growth of Dais' products in Greater China
China is facing large challenges in the air, water and energy storage arenas that require new and innovative solutions. As a result of these unprecedented market needs, China has established itself as a world leader in implementing new technologies to address challenges regarding sustainability.
The Chinese market, under the leadership of its new government, provides support for emerging technologies needed to meet these needs. Dais' nanomaterial and engineering processes offer proven disruptive products possessing higher end-user value proposition in key areas such as energy efficiency and lower CO2 emissions, or hazardous effluent discharges.
SAGE and its partners studied products from various global companies in order to address solutions to China's challenges before deciding upon Dais' powerhouse technology platform. These products, coupled with an expert team, represents the capability of becoming a strong channel player in China, in South East Asia and worldwide.
"The $60-million 'take-or-pay' agreement -- part of the investment -- is just one of many opportunities SAGE and JHSE will work on with Dais," said Richard Zhang, Dais COO. "While ConsERV energy-recovery ventilator sales continue to grow, the first water product is being incorporated into a state-of-the-art contaminated-water-separation pilot facility, under construction in the Beijing area and targeted to be online this coming summer.
"We are experiencing strong interest from key China's environmental water cleanup industry firms for this exciting new product," he added. "The continued development of Dais disruptive air-conditioning system, strongly supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, has generated high levels of interest from developers and HVAC OEMs. The ability to store energy is exciting to the entire renewables industry and even at an early development stage is already being incorporated into forward-thinking engineers of second-generation solar and wind projects."
