PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - January 10, 2017) - Eco3d, a portfolio company of Ecoark Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: EARK) that measures existing topographic, structural, mechanical, and architectural conditions using a variety of instruments in 2d and 3d, commented today on a landmark year in 2016 where it achieved a business growth of 92% from 2015. The tremendous results follow a 2015 where the Company grew 73% over the year prior.

The Company completed more than 440 projects across North America in 2016 as it continues to cement itself as the largest digital as-built service provider in North America.

"I am extremely proud of our achievements in 2016. What started with a handful of us working from picnic benches in a local park has turned into 60+ employees working from our newly renovated headquarters in Phoenix. We have enjoyed tremendous success meeting custom client needs on unique projects, working with the largest brands in the world," said Ken Smerz, President & CEO of Eco3d.

"As we continue to lead the industry of 3d measurement and digital documentation, we are excited for the ever-changing dynamics involved with keeping at the forefront of the technology curve to save time and money for our clients on their renovation and construction projects. We are looking ahead to 2017 with a focus on continuing our exponential growth," said Smerz.

While completing many projects across the country and opening an office in NY, the Phoenix-based company remains dedicated to its community in Arizona, with recent project work like Meetinghouse 3080 . Eco3d has created more than 50 jobs within the last three years, more than doubling its number of employees in 2016 alone.
