Newave Packaging Customers Report Use of ewrap™ Has Increased Quality and Sales

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Safetek International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SFIN) an incubator of and investor in green technology and eco-friendly start-up companies is pleased to announce positive responses from its customers who have reported Newave's eco-friendly, non-toxic ewrap™ food film is of better quality than wraps they have previously used and sales of meat products packaged in ewrap™ have increased.  

David Lester, Manager of the Oneota Community Food Co-op commented: "We really love the wrap and think the tighter fit really displays our meats and cheeses better than before. We have seen a considerable increase in sales in our meat department."

Dr. Fredrik Verkroost, President of Newave Packaging, Inc. said: "While our goal at Newave Packaging is to create a healthier, more environmentally friendly product for consumers, we are pleased to see our customers using ewrap™ film are experiencing increased sales in their meat and fresh food departments and in overall sales. We believe consumers are demanding safer products and have shown they will go to the supermarkets that can provide these products to them. We feel we have created a win/win scenario for consumers, our customers and the environment." Our current strategy is to focus marketing our food film directly to independent distributors, organic green stores such as Oneota and co-op food stores, which number in the thousands in the United States, hopefully giving ewrap™ a solid foot print.

Newave Packaging, Inc., a Safetek International subsidiary company provides ewrap™ food film used in packaging meats and vegetables for resale in grocery stores and offers a healthy alternative to PVC film. ewrap™ does not require any additional or specialized dispensers and can be dispensed from the same dispensers currently being used by food packagers.
