Distribution Rollout of SP34E Begins with First Shipment to U.S. Market

ARIZONA, PHOENIX, Apr. 6 -/E-Wire/-- Solpower Corp. (OTC BB: SLPW - news), worldwide leader in environmental technology, Thursday announced the first shipment of SP34E(TM) to fill various outstanding orders in the distribution rollout of SP34E(TM) in the U.S. market.

EVTC Inc. (Nasdaq: EVTC - news), the company's United States distributor, confirmed receipt of its first shipment of SP34E(TM) and has begun to immediately fill orders.

"We are very pleased with the initial response from our customers and look forward to a great season with SP34E(TM),' stated David Keener, president of EVTC Inc.

Initial orders are being received from both the HVAC/R and automotive markets through EVTC's refrigerant division, Full Circle(TM), and its fleet of on-site service and sales team, Full Circle's Nth Degree(TM).

SP34E(TM) is a HFC refrigerant, which is important given the worldwide phase-out of CFCs and HCFCs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists Solpower's SP34E(TM) as an acceptable refrigerant under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, established to identify alternatives to ozone-depleting substances.

The rollout of SP34E(TM) into the U.S. market positions the Solpower Corp. to record its best ever financial results and to meeting its earlier forecasted revenue projections.
