EPIC Green Solutions, a UAE-based international water management solutions company specialising in highly efficient sub-surface irrigation and drainage systems, announced today that it has finalised an agreement with Firestone Building Products Company LLC, a subsidiary of Firestone in North America.
EPIC Green Solutions, the holder of world-wide rights to the EPIC (Environmental Passive Integrated Chamber) system launched its international offices in the Middle East in October 2010 in addition to its existing offices in the United States.
Since its launch, the company has continued in its efforts to help tackle the issue of water scarcity in the region and water management across the globe by providing sustainable water solutions for urban landscapes, green roofs and parking areas, golf and equestrian facilities and most importantly, alternative methods of highly-efficient water usage within the agriculture sector.
Firestone is a century-old leading manufacturer of quality technical products and systems, with an extensive distribution network across the United States.
The strategic partnership will position Firestone Specialty Products, a division of Firestone Building Products Company, as the exclusive North American distributor for the EPIC product line, offering effective and proven storm water management solutions. This partnership aligns the companies so that the EPIC technology is combined with Firestone’s quality EPDM geo-membrane — a waterproof rubber liner — resulting in an innovative sub-surface irrigation/water management system.
EPIC Green Solutions has a highly-qualified team in the United States to work alongside Firestone and support their network of distributors and applicators across the country.
“The United States has very strict regulations when it comes to storm water run-off and it is therefore important for us to be able to offer solutions that can efficiently treat excess water, allowing for it to be filtered and reused,” commented Charlie Fleifel, Chief Executive Officer of EPIC Green Solutions, “We look forward to developing a fruitful relationship with a company as reputable and well-established as Firestone in promoting our solutions around North America.”
The agreement was signed during the Firestone Specialty Products Annual Sales Meeting in Dallas, Texas, United States.
John Goers, General Manager of Firestone Specialty Products, said of the agreement, “Our corporate vision is to be leaders in positively impacting the environment. Joining hands with EPIC Green Solutions has given us the opportunity to progress in this goal by making it a priority to bring the full range of EPIC products to the water management market in North America”.
Bart Rehbein, Managing Director of EPIC Green Solutions commented, “Firestone’s enthusiastic endorsement and unique embracement of the EPIC technology is a testimony to the value and quality of the EPIC system. We are excited to have the opportunity to work closely with Firestone to successfully promote the many benefits of implementing the EPIC technology across North America.”
