NEW YORK, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Gas, Inc. (DIGG - Pink Sheets) today announced that its newly formed subsidiaries, Qingdao Harbor Trading Company Inc., and Digital Kommerce Network, Inc., have begun operating several businesses in China for export-import, the Internet, and the manufacture and distribution of advanced computer systems and networked information terminals.
The Qingdao Harbor Trading Company subsidiary of Digital Gas has signed 2-year agreements with some 100 manufacturing consumer products, electronics. chemical and other companies to create a web-based electronic exchange. Qingdao Harbor has been named a ''most favored distributor'' and the Chinese partners will showcase their goods and services on the new exchange.
Under the new venture, Qingdao Harbor will receive revenues from participating Internet sites and through advertising and sales on the electronic exchange. Qingdao Harbor will also receive substantial income from direct facilitation of export and import between these Chinese companies and the West in those instances where products and services showcased through the electronic exchange require sales and marketing persons to close the transactions. In addition, Qingdao Harbor will be adding sales and marketing persons to its present staff to foster the growth of the new business. Qingdao Harbor has already arranged a transaction for its first imported item from China, a revolutionary product for the kitty litter market that is completely safe for cats and the environment.
Petcetera, Inc., of Bayonne, New Jersey, a wholesaler and distributor of pet products for in excess of thirty years will distribute the new product under the name ''Litterly Amazing''. The product will be showcased at the Backers Pet Industry Spring Trade Show at Atlantic City in March. Digital Gas forecasts that the product will earn a significant market share and will be just the first of many similar trading activities generated by qingdaoharbor.com over the coming years.
Qingdaoharbor.com will be powered by U-Know Software Corporation's leading product information search technology (shopping bot), which can be accessed at shopbest.com. U-Know which has a 20% interest in Qingdao Harbor Trading Company is a technology company focused on unique web merchandising solutions. U-Know Software developed one of the first comparison-shopping engines, as well as an early merchandise transaction system with an integrated shopping cart. The product information search engine uses advanced parallel processing techniques combined with an innovative agent that provides for true real-time results for the most accurate and up-to-date product information available. Additionally maintenance of existing sites and the integration of new sites, along with their respective inventories are almost automatic and require no programming significantly reducing overall costs.
Robert Solomon, the President and Chief Executive Officer, of U-Know Software, said that, ''Qingdao Harbor Trading Company is taking the concepts of shopping bots and B2Bs one step further by actively creating export-import opportunities with dramatic income potential for itself, Digital Gas and U-Know Software from the real-time, electronic exchange.''
