Green Star Products Announces New Patent, Initial 2014 Sales and
Product Shipments
SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - Mar 28, 2014) - Today the
President of Green Star Products, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GSPI), Joseph
LaStella, assessed the outlook for the second quarter of 2014 for
GSPI and reviewed the first quarter accomplishments.
Mr. LaStella stated, "Early in 2011 Green Star announced a new
business strategy to increase revenue for the company without
requiring additional capital investment by licensing sales of our
line of environmentally friendly products to other companies. In
2012 and 2013 we saw significant spending by many of these
potential new partners on research into and future marketing of our
products. GSPI at that time also formed alliances with other green
companies to offer their products to Green Star's customer base as
well."
The first quarter of 2014 has begun to show the results of
GSPI's new strategy as follows:
1) After nine years of patent pending status, Joseph LaStella,
President of Green Star Products, was notified by the US Patent and
Trademark Office that his high-tech loop reactor patent was issued
on February 11, 2014 (US Pat. #8648209) "Loop Reactor for Making
Biodiesel Fuel". The loop reactor is the backbone of the highly
efficient biodiesel plants manufactured by Green Star Products.
Most present day biodiesel production systems require up to three
hours and three different processes to convert feedstock oils
through a transesterification process to produce crude biodiesel.
The loop reactor does all these processes in one step and in less
than five minutes. As a result, this patent significantly reduces
the capital cost of a biodiesel plant. It also increases plant
production capacity with less man power, reduces maintenance costs,
reduces final product costs and reduces the carbon footprint of the
plant. Although in the United States support for continued use of
biodiesel in fuel markets has been weak due to high biodiesel
feedstock prices, this is not true for the rest of the world. In
countries around the world fuel prices are twice those in the
United States. The issuance of this patent continues to propel GSPI
into the forefront of this emerging industry.
2) In 2013, GSPI signed an agreement with Modern Spartan
Systems, LLC (MSS) for the development and sales of our anti-wear
and anti-friction product line, which would be used for high-tech
lubrication in military, police, competition firearms and hunting
weapons (see http://modernspartansystems.com and
http://tvtsales.com for more information). In 2013, Modern Spartan
Systems commenced ordering product and has aggressively pursued
markets for GSPI lubricant products as follows: A) MSS Accuracy Oil
has been verified by many professionals to significantly increase
the long range accuracy of military and sporting rifles (rifle
barrels). B) Due to the success of its testing program, MSS in
recent months has been able to sign agreements with four arms
manufacturers. Specifically, these manufacturers have agreed to
include MSS products in their primary sales packaging as a standard
product for use with their firearms. C) Recent tests also include
the MSS lubricant effects on the high speed mechanical actions of
automatic weapons. One test included firing an AR-15 semi automatic
rifle without cleaning the rifle. The AR-15 succeeded in rapid
firing 2,000 rounds without a mishap, which is an astonishing
accomplishment. D) MSS has also expanded into the agricultural
industry. Already in 2014, GSPI has delivered a moderate size order
(85,000 ounces) to MSS for this market. Furthermore, this order
also included a newly developed product requested by the
agricultural industry, namely TVT Green Grease Formula, which MSS
anticipates will be a high demand product.
3) Green Star is also marketing a variety of advanced coatings
offering strong, rust and thermal resistance with up to 15 year
field warranties. The company participated in successfully
completing a four building project at an important U.S. Government
facility in 2011. At the same time, we have concentrated heavily on
introducing these products into China and other Asian markets. The
Chinese marketplace has been difficult to break into because they
do not accept most of the test work done by outside entities. GSPI
has had an office in Beijing for over two years, which has
integrated with both private firms and government agencies to
bridge this gap and has been successfully completing all the
required tests. GSPI has delivered minor orders to China during the
past two years and anticipates much larger orders (shipping
container size) in 2014.
4) Green Star Products is also recognized as a leader in the
algae industry. We have proceeded with several research and
development programs during the past years and will continue in
2014 and beyond. These programs include our participation with
private companies and universities as well as federal agencies. We
have also introduced our algae technology into the Chinese
market.
In conclusion, we expect 2014 to be an exciting technological
year for Green Star and we fully expect that we have emerged from a
very difficult economic downturn over the past five years to
produce our first revenue and profit quarters in 2014.
