B: Airsopure Expands Distribution Base DALLAS (June 2) BUSINESS WIRE -June 2, 1999--Airsopure, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Airtech International Group, Inc. (OTC BB:AIRG) has expanded its franchised distribution centers into four new states, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Kentucky. Airsopure, Inc. is an international franchisor whose primary product distribution are though its' franchised independent representatives. The franchise was stated in April of 1997 and is currently the number one indoor air purification Franchise Company in the country. Each franchisee is thoroughly trained in all aspects of indoor air purification. Indoor air purification has been the primary market for Airsopure's parent company, Airtech International Group, Inc., since 1994. The company began carving out a unique market niche by positioning themselves as the authority on smoke control in restaurants and nightclubs. The technology behind the Company's product line features a three-stage filtration system that is completely self-contained and designed to work separately from the HVAC system. The synergistic effect of a pleated prefilter, an odor controlling trisorbent filter and a hospital grade HEPA filter allows their products to capture up to 99.97 percent of all smoke, viruses, bacteria and hazardous gases found in all sealed buildings. Some of the Company's corporate customers include Del Frisco's, Sullivan's, El Chico, Houston's, Denny's and Host Marriott Services. Recent increased consumer demand for the Company's first, mass produced, automobile air purification unit and an "industry first" system for hotel rooms and country clubs, has forced the company to select outside contract manufactures to facilitate order fulfillment. Two recent tradeshows have been credited with Airsopure's increased product demand. The National Restaurant Association/Hotel-Motel Show in Chicago and the Country Club Management Association Show in San Francisco, both created strong consumer interest. An aggressive franchise marketing campaign is underway to select new Airsopure distributors in states not currently covered by existing franchisees. The Company anticipates signing six new franchisees by the end of June. For additional information contact Airsopure President, Douglas S.
