HONG KONG, Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited (Nasdaq: CLWT) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a program to repurchase up to 60,000 shares of its issued and outstanding stock by January 21, 2016. This gives Euro Tech the ability to purchase the stock in the open market or through negotiated or block transactions from time to time based on market and business conditions over the next 12 months.

The Board has a high degree of confidence in Euro Tech's future and believes that this expectation is not reflected in the current stock price which is also much lower than our net asset value on a per share basis.
