KINDERHOOK, N.Y., May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Maple Hill Creamery, America’s original 100% grass-fed organic dairy brand, has launched the nation’s first Zero Sugar Organic Ultra-Filtered Milk.

The latest product innovation from Maple Hill gives consumers a choice they never thought possible – a zero sugar, zero added sweeteners and zero carb organic milk. The average serving of milk has 12 grams of sugar and Maple Hill’s Soft-Filtering process skims out the sugar, carbs and lactose from the milk, but retains the incredible farm-fresh taste and nutrition.

“The word that comes to mind when I think about Zero Sugar Organic Milk is freedom,” said Carl Gerlach, CEO of Maple Hill. “It’s freedom to enjoy cow’s milk without the worry or guilt over sugar, carbs or lactose. Freedom for parents to provide nutritious milk to their children with no sugar or sweeteners. Freedom to have milk in your coffee again. All from a brand that consumers trust.”

The new Zero Sugar Organic Milk builds on Maple Hill’s product lineup that provides a number of low and no sugar added dairy products including Yogurt, Kefir and Reduced Sugar Grass-fed Organic Chocolate Milk.

“Maple Hill has been growing the industry from the very beginning when we started doing dairy differently and making the highest quality products sourced from small family farms in New York,” said Julia Joseph, co-Founder of Maple Hill Creamery. “Our new Zero Sugar Organic Milk pushes the envelope yet again, bringing a product to the shelf that has never been done before.”

Maple Hill’s Zero Sugar Organic Whole Milk contains 8 grams of protein and 110 calories, and the Reduced Fat variety contains 8 grams of protein and 80 calories.

“As a Registered Dietitian, I am thrilled about Maple Hill’s newest product,” said Leah Silberman, MS, RD, Tovita Nutrition and Maple Hill partner. “Maple Hill removed the sugar while maintaining the robust nutrient profile of milk. This product puts milk back on the table for so many people who left for non-dairy milk alternatives. It contains no added sweeteners and is simply delicious organic pasture-raised cow’s milk.”

Maple Hill Zero Sugar Organic Ultra-Filtered Milk is available nationwide at Whole Foods Market.

Expands the Company’s proprietary product offerings with the addition of Tek-Event’s Cell-Tek Microscope Chamber

Provides a direct sales and support platform for the entire Hamilton Thorne product portfolio in Australia

BEVERLY, Mass. and TORONTO, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hamilton Thorne Ltd. (TSX-V: HTL), a leading provider of precision instruments, consumables, software and services to the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), research, and cell biology markets, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Tek-Event Pty Ltd.

Tek-Event, based in suburban Sydney, Australia, is the manufacturer of the Cell-Tek Microscope Chamber, a specialized product for controlling temperature, air flow, humidification, and air quality that is used in ART and laboratory markets worldwide. The Cell-Tek Chamber is designed to create an optimum environment for visually examining, manipulating, transferring, or assessing oocytes and embryos for in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Tek-Event is also a value-added reseller of a select range of capital equipment and consumables, including those manufactured by Hamilton Thorne. Tek-Event serves approximately 90% of IVF clinics in Australia.

Acquisition Details

Hamilton Thorne acquired the capital stock of Tek-Event Pty Ltd. for a purchase price of approximately A$1.1 million (approximately US$860,000), plus closing adjustments, paid at closing, with the potential for the payment of additional purchase price of up to approximately A$590,000 (approximately US$460,000), based on achieving certain financial targets. The purchase price paid at closing is equal to approximately 1.15 times Tek-Event’s annualized nine-month sales for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

“This acquisition represents a unique opportunity to add a high-quality product line with significant growth potential to our product portfolio, as well as to establish a direct sales presence in Australia,” stated David Wolf, President and CEO of Hamilton Thorne. “While this is a relatively small transaction, it is strategic and accretive. In addition to this transaction, we have an active pipeline and are actively working on multiple opportunities. We are mindful, however, that acquisition completion is hard to predict and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic could affect this goal.”

Key Benefits of the Transaction:

• Addition of the Cell-Tek Microscope Chamber, a premium product that diversifies and increases Hamilton Thorne’s product offerings to the ART laboratory
• Provides a direct sales and support platform for the entire Hamilton Thorne portfolio of products in Australia
• Opportunity to increase Cell-Tek Microscope Chamber sales by leveraging Hamilton Thorne’s established worldwide sales and marketing resources
• Non-dilutive transaction financed through its cash on hand
• Expected to be accretive to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in 2021

Tek-Event will operate as a part of Hamilton Thorne’s Planer Limited subsidiary and will retain its brand identity and all personnel. Additional information on Tek-Event and the Cell-Tek Microscope Chamber can be found at https://tekevent.com.

New York, NY, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. (OTCQB: GTII) (“GTII” or the “Company”), www.gtii-us.com, a Nevada corporation, announced today an update regarding its recently acquired Picasso engraved etching.

As previously announced, the original Picasso acquired by the Company to form part of its planned digital fine arts and collectibles platform is entitled ‘Quatre femmes nues et tete sculptee’ and was executed in 1934 on Montval laid paper and published by A. Vollard, Paris, in 1939 (the “Picasso Etching”).

The Company intends to tokenize the Picasso Etching and is evaluating the process for issuing to its shareholders pro-rata fractional interests in the tokenized Picasso Etching that would trade on a blockchain-based Alternative Trading System (”ATS”), which the Company plans to develop with Alt 5 Sigma once the ATS has completed the required regulatory filings. It is anticipated that fractional interests in the tokenized Picasso Etching would be held only in accounts with broker-dealers who subscribe to the Company’s ATS, which would initially include Wynston Hill Capital, LLC, a FINRA member broker-dealer.

David Reichman, GTII’s Chairman, stated, “With the Company attempting to deepen its relationship with Alt 5 Sigma to include an ATS and a FINRA member broker-dealer, it makes sense that we would seek to have our first digital fine arts piece exclusive to our ATS where trades of the tokenized fractional interests can be settled in a secure and timely manner,”.

LOS ANGELES, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”), a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The Stock2Me Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The Stock2Me Podcast features a fascinating array of companies and individuals, many of whom are actively revolutionizing age-old business practices within their respective markets. Stock2Me’s latest podcast features Paul Duffy, President of Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF).

During the interview, Duffy explains how the company’s technology uses your smartphone to “augment” your view by superimposing a hologram into your physical location.

“What makes us different is that we put augmented reality into everything that we do. AR is the ability to take photorealistic objects – it could be people, products or places – and superimpose them using your smartphone,” Duffy said. “So, as you view your phone over a location you can conjure up a hologram and literally augment the reality of that space. If you want to view a vacuum cleaner, you could literally press a button on our website, and it will conjure up through your browser that particular vacuum as a hologram. You can pinch it, zoom it, rotate it, put it in your closet and take a selfie to send to your partner and say, ‘That’s the one we want to buy.’ AR is very useful in converting online shoppers into buyers.”

Duffy emphasized that e-commerce is not the company’s only application for AR technology. Nextech AR Solutions has additional lines of business.

“We also use AR with a virtual experience platform. With COVID, most events have gone virtual to some degree. Our Digital Experience Platform lets you beam in a speaker during a virtual event as a hologram into your home or office,” he explained. “In January, we launched the AR Ad Network. The digital ad space is a thriving industry. Because we have our e-comm business, we know a lot of customers visit our website through these AR ads. We put AR 3D ads out into the wild, and we notice an enormous click-through rate, which is wonderful for increasing conversions for our clients.”

The company expects the wider availability and adoption of 5G mobile phone networks to be a boost for its business lines.

“The world of 5G is coming fast. If you think about everything we do as a business, it only gets better when it runs in 5G, which is 10 to 100 times faster than current speeds. The enablement of that bandwidth for the type of experiences that you can produce and deliver and then track and measure is just phenomenal.”

Join InvestorBrandNetwork’s Stuart Smith and Paul Duffy, President of Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF), to learn about the company’s rapid revenue growth and its management team staffed by executives who formerly worked at leading tech companies like SAP, Microsoft and IBM.
