We look forward to the valuable opportunities that this relationship creates for both parties, as well as the economic benefits of participating in the development and expansion of PCR technology across the Dominican Republic market.

Our official product launch into the Dominican Republic is a significant step for the commercialization of our company’s products, and one that shows our ability to build on the momentum we have been creating over the past several months. Our dedicated sales team continues to add to our distributor network worldwide in anticipation of following the same model in other countries that is now being implemented in the Dominican Republic, and those markets will be notified as similar training seminars and product demonstrations are scheduled.”
