Boston, Massachusetts – RF Biocidics, Inc. a leading innovator in the development of RF based disinfection and disinfestation technologies, today announced a new reseller partner agreement with Pilar Agrisciences (www.Pilarquim.com), a global agricultural company headquartered in Canada, to provide our enhanced disinfection and disinfestation technology to customers in the Asia-Pacific and South American regions. RF Biocidics’ technology leverages novel radio frequency based disinfection and disinfestation that not only destroys pests and pathogenic bacteria on and within foods, but does so without the use of chemicals or ionizing radiation.
The announcement marks RF Biocidic’s first international reseller partner relationship.
Under the terms of the agreement, Pilar Agrisciences will become a certified reseller of RF Biocidic’s technology products. RF Biocidics will provide Pilar with engineering and technical assistance to allow custom solutions to be developed for Pilar customers.
"We are excited to expand the reach of RF Biocidic’s technology to the Asia-Pacific and South American regions," stated Marc Eichenberger, CEO of RF Biocidics. “In this new global economy a food safety failure in one part of the world can no longer be isolated and instantly becomes a global issue.”
RF Biocidics plans to leverage the Pilar Agrisciences relationship to sign additional reseller partners, both domestically and abroad. "Our business development plans call for the addition of new reseller partners to broaden the reach of our technology," continued Eichenberger. "Looking forward, we will enhance our in-house sales efforts with the addition of reseller partners like Pilar."
