“The EPA’s decision is an auspicious first step in the global distribution of TechroBond and one of which we are very proud,” said John T. (Cork) Jaeger Jr., president and CEO of Platinum Research Organization Inc. (PRO). “The EPA process can be a daunting task, but our experienced staff, our independent consultants, our U.S. law firm and its international consulting affiliates will positively impact PRO as we seek worldwide registration of TechroBond and as we ramp up manufacturing and distribution.”
