Trutek Corp. Selects R&J Public Relations/Reitman Group in Joint Venture as Agency-of-Record

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Trutek Corp., the exclusive marketer, distributor and licensor for NasalGuard® and its patented technology, has selected R&J Public Relations, LLC of Bridgewater, N.J. and the Reitman Group of Somerville, N.J., in joint venture as their public relations agency of record.  The R&J/Reitman joint venture has been tasked with developing and executing a comprehensive national public relations campaign in support of Trutek's vast array of drug-free, topical products that are becoming internationally known in the critical area of preventative healthcare and wellness.

Trutek's president, Ashok Wahi, is the company's chief inventor and licensed engineer.  Wahi is undeniably a man of many talents, experiences and innovative ideas, and is the author of several books.  Wahi's patented invention of NasalGuard, a drug-free product that traps allergens before they can enter into the nose and cause allergy symptoms, illustrates the commercial applicability of his inventions.  In 1995, Wahi founded Trutek Corp., and licensed NasalGuard to be marketed as an extension of the well known Chloraseptic® brand under the brand name AllergenBlock® in the U.S. and Canada.   Subsequently, Trutek successfully licensed the NasalGuard technology in Japan and Europe, where it is marketed under various brand names.

Trutek has an extensive pipeline of additional technologies and products, and is currently in the process of seeking qualified licensees and joint venture partners.  

"We are very excited to be working with Trutek and specifically with someone as visionary as Ashok Wahi," said John Lonsdorf, President of R&J Public Relations.  "With so many ideas, and so many potential revenue streams, Ashok is a brand in and of himself.  We will look to advantageously position his 'brand' and create media opportunities which allow Ashok to communicate his visions to a variety of audiences."  

Wahi is an alumnus of NYU Poly, The Polytechnic Institute of New York University, where he acquired the skills that have allowed him to act upon his drive to improve the quality of life for people every day.  He continues to be a strong adherent and supporter of i2e – the invention, innovation and entrepreneurship program at NYU Poly.

R&J Public Relations and the Reitman Group will develop and execute an outward-facing media effort that promotes licensing opportunities for Trutek, and positions Wahi as a leading inventor and entrepreneur.  While media will be the primary communications vehicle, the ultimate goal of the program is to have personal care and engineering companies contract with Trutek for strategic and joint venture opportunities, technology licensing, consulting services and product development and marketing/distribution agreements.
