Dr. Gene Shelp Presents at Pujiang Innovation Forum 2017 - Canada Forum - Emerging Industrial Water Treatment Sector

GUELPH, ON--(Marketwired - May 24, 2017) - Last week, Dr. Gene Shelp, President and CEO of ENPAR Technologies, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ENP) ("ENPAR" or "the Company") was invited to speak at the PUJIANG INNOVATION FORUM 2017 - CANADA FORUM held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and to meet with representatives of potential joint venture partners and investors from China's water treatment and financial sectors. The highly successful event was sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality, and the Ontario Ministry of Research, Innovation and Science.

This International Innovation Forum showcased the historically strong ties between the business communities of Ontario and China and highlighted China's emerging industrial water treatment sector and corresponding growing demand for innovative water treatment technologies.

The event included a B2B session where Dr. Shelp met with representatives of several respected Chinese water treatment companies interested in learning more about ENPAR's disruptive electrochemical water treatment systems. The following day, ENPAR hosted these representatives with a tour of its facilities, as well as technology demonstrations, in Guelph, Ontario.

Dr. Shelp commented, "The China-Canada Innovation Forum and subsequent interactions with the representatives of several Chinese companies has renewed ENPAR's interest in establishing a presence in China. Historically, municipal water treatment applications have been the primary water market drivers in China; however, emerging markets are related to the treatment and recycle/reuse of industrial waters. To exploit these emerging markets, Chinese companies are actively seeking innovative technologies that provide both an immediate market advantage and represent potential longer term new market development opportunities. As a first step forward, ENPAR and each of these Chinese companies will execute a Confidentiality Agreement in order to initiate detailed discussions of current water treatment opportunities."

According to the 2016 issue of China's 'Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan' (also known as the "Water Ten Plan"), the expected cumulative GDP growth for the 5-year period, 2015 to 2020, will be around RMB5.7 trillion (CAD $1.117 trillion). This growth is expected to generate RMB1.9 trillion (CAD $373 billion) of new investment in industries associated with environmental protection; RMB1.4 trillion (CAD $275 billion) of this will be allocated to the purchase of products and services. Improving industrial water use efficiency and reducing ammonia pollution of water bodies are two of the significant issues that have been included in the Plan.
