Item 7.01 FD Disclosure.
On August 30, 2007, International Barrier Technology Inc. (“Barrier”), a manufacturer of proprietary fire-resistant building materials, announced the addition of two sales representatives that will focus on market development of Blazeguard Fire-Rated Sheathing in two targeted regions.
Wayne Crutchfield has joined the Barrier team and will be responsible for developing the Blazeguard market in Southern California. Wayne has spent many years in the construction industry working for a major distributor in Southern California. He has built key relationships with architects, other distributors, and builders throughout the territory. With the State of California’s recent adoption of the International Building Code, all new multi-family construction will be required to meet the fire-resistant building codes that Blazeguard is designed for.
Jim Dukart has joined Barrier as a Sales Representative in the Midwest region. He is taking on the responsibility of continuing growth in the upper Midwest, but also to expand the territory to include the Chicago and Kansas City regions. Jim has many years of experience in the sales industry and product development. In his most recent endeavour as Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Sea-Legs, he grew sales of a start-up product by 1,900% in two years.
Please see the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99 for more information.
