Ameritek Ventures
Announces Plans to Initiate Production of Specialty Optical Fiber
Preforms at Roanoke, Virginia Manufacturing Facility
Las Vegas, NV -- February 14,
2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Ameritek Ventures
(OTC: ATVK) (“the Company”),
a leading manufacturer of high
quality optical fiber preforms to the global telecommunications
industry, today announced plans to complete the construction of
machines that will enable the production of specialty optical fiber
preforms (PCVD) at its Roanoke, VA manufacturing facility. Assembly
is expected to be completed in the third quarter of
2018.
Specialty optical fiber is a
fast-growing segment of the optical fiber industry and is currently
used in the telecommunications and the oil and gas industries. The
segment carries higher margins than standard single-mode optical
fiber. These machines will provide Ameritek with the capability to
manufacture and sell PCVD specialty optical fiber preforms, which
could represent an annual revenue opportunity in excess of $12.5
million to Ameritek.
Clinton Stokes, III, Ameritek’s
Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are excited about advancing our
production capabilities in the Roanoke facility. These specialty
PCVD optical fiber preform machines will help validate Ameritek’s
technology among the best in the world, while providing revenue
that can supplement our efforts to build out a new manufacturing
facility that will enable Ameritek to capitalize on the larger
opportunity to manufacture its OVD machines to produce and
commercialize OVD optical fiber preforms. We remain confident that
our technology will produce preforms that can compete with the
largest manufacturers in the world on the basis of cost and
quality, enabling Ameritek to participate in an industry with high
margins, few competitors, and a solid outlook for future
growth.”
