WENZHOU, China, Aug. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ZK International Group Co., Ltd. ('ZK International') (NASDAQ: ZKIN), a manufacturer and engineer of high-performance stainless steel products for projects that require sophisticated water and gas pipeline systems predominately in China, today announced the closings of its initial public offering of 1,068,346 ordinary shares at an offering price of $5.00 per share. ZK International completed two closings on August 28, 2017 and August 30, 2017, respectively and received an aggregate of approximately $5,300,000 in gross proceeds before expenses. The shares are anticipated to begin trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market on September 1, 2017 under the symbol 'ZKIN'.

Jiancong Huang, Chief Executive Officer of ZK International, commented, "We are honored to have closed our initial public offering and successfully finance the Company with just over $5.3 Million. The additional working capital will allow us to grow and execute on our business objectives. In China there is a commitment from the government and local municipalities to replace aging piping, while upgrading the piping used in new developments, especially in the high-growth Western Provinces of China.  Today 85% of our piping is primarily used for clean water and secondarily to transport gas. Our piping could significantly impact the quality and safety of water being transmitted throughout China. Several major cities have launched programs to improve water supply systems by replacing existing plastic or copper pipes with new stainless-steel systems. ZK International is at the forefront of this movement with a growing backlog. As China continues to grow so too will ZKIN with the aspirations of bringing clean water to China one pipe at a time."

Mr. Huang continued, "Our use of the NASDAQ IPO proceeds will be focused on increasing manufacturing capacity at our facility as well as hiring additional engineers to meet this demand. We look forward to communicating these and other exciting developments with our newest U.S. shareholders, as well as those who have supported ZK International over the years."
