Six containers underwent several months of tests under different conditions. Some US-specific requirements were identified and these modifications should be completed by September 2012. Sales are expected to increase further when this second-generation container solution becomes available in the USA in September. ItN is working with marketing partner EIP to target the US market.
Dr Christoph Weiss, CEO of ItN Nanovation, said: “Following our container tests in the USA, the initial sales success there provides grounds for optimism. It is clear that we can now offer a marketable product in the USA for which we and our sales partner see considerable demand."
