"I have had the pleasure to work with Hatem over the past two years through his involvement with Earth Innovations. His skill set and experience along with his diligent attention to detail and proactive approach to operations has proved to be a valuable asset to the Company," said CEO Ray Paquette. "The consolidation of Earth Innovations accounting and administrative functions with those of International Zeolite is a natural progression to improve synergies within both entities. I am pleased that Hatem has agreed to take on the role of Chief Financial Officer. I also wish to extend my personal thanks to Mark Groenewald for his efforts and counsel over the past years and I'm pleased he is continuing on in an advisory capacity to the Company."
The Company is also pleased to announce the moving of its head office to Toronto. This move follows consolidation of its sales and marketing operations to Eastern Canada and will assist in further streamlining corporate management activities of the Company and its subsidiary Earth Innovations Inc.
