AbTech Holdings Addresses News Stories RE: New York Legislator Probe
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Abtech Holdings, Inc. (OTC QB: ABHD) ("AbTech" or the "Company") is a full-service environmental technologies and engineering firm dedicated to providing innovative solutions to communities, industry and governments addressing issues of water pollution and contamination. AbTech has become aware of news stories that mentioned it in regards to an investigation of a New York legislator.
AbTech is a company of integrity and transparency, from its executive officers to its field employees. AbTech is not a target of any investigation and intends to fully cooperate with investigators involved in the New York probe.
The news stories mentioned one of the company's projects, Nassau County, which is one that will significantly improve the environment and profoundly benefit the local community. In New York, as elsewhere, decisions on awarding projects take into consideration the ability of a service provider to deliver the desired results timely, efficiently and economically. Not all stormwater solutions are created equal. Contract award decisions are not based solely on initial cost outlays, but also on ongoing maintenance and operating cost requirements and technical merit, which are all weighed against a solution's efficacy.
AbTech has had sales and has offered support for water quality treatment systems in communities across 46 states, including New York, for over 10 years. We have 17 patents on our technology that address water contamination issues in a variety of highly effective applications that are unique offerings. The process through which local authorities selected AbTech was comprehensive and diligent, involving several levels of Nassau County government. AbTech has the ability to effectively and economically achieve the County's near term and long term objectives.
AbTech is proud of its long history of good corporate citizenship and to have earned this contract after a thorough and fair review process conducted by Nassau County. We are pleased that the benefits that can be achieved from our technology can be deployed in protecting and enriching the environment.
