SOUTH NATICK, MA--(Marketwire - November 9, 2009) - Brightec, Inc., (
OTCBB:
BRTE) creator of
the world's first photographic quality glow-in-the-dark media, today
announced that it has retained The Collins Group, Inc., of Colorado
Springs, CO, to represent their PlayGlo™ line of glow-in-the-dark
puzzles and stickers in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina
and Florida.
The retention of The Collins Group is the continuation of Brightec, Inc.'s
nationwide launch that kicked off earlier this summer. "The Collins Group
brings to our relationship over thirty years of experience in this industry
and has extensive expertise in the sticker and scrapbook industry
representing the major lines. We're eager to get PlayGlo into the hands of
these pros," said Patrick Planche, Founder and President of Brightec. "This
experienced team also opens the doors to a wide diversity of stores and
already has the channels in place for future products," added Mr. Planche.
"We see great potential for growth with these PlayGlo products," said Tim
Collins, Principal of The Collins Group. "I was skeptical when I first
heard the words, 'glow-in-the-dark,' but I was totally wowed when I
actually saw this product perform. I had received a sample while traveling
but hadn't had a chance to look at it. That evening I had to rush out to a
meeting, I turned off the light in the hotel room and there it was glowing
in full detail. I knew right then we were onto something unique. Their
tagline is right on target -- 'it's glow in the dark like you've never seen
it before.' I can envision all kinds of wonderful new products with this
amazing material."
Brightec's initial PlayGlo puzzle collection features six 11" x 15", 100
piece, animal-themed puzzles for children ages 6 and up, at a suggested
retail price of $9.99. Also available under the PlayGlo brand, are
glow-in-the-dark stickers using Brightec's unique media. Each of the four
different sticker collections, with images that complement the puzzle line,
comes with repositionable backing, meaning the stickers can be applied to
almost any surface and then removed and relocated. The stickers have a
suggested retail price of $2.99.
PlayGlo puzzles and stickers are available to qualified retailers. All
PlayGlo products are manufactured in the USA.
