CONCORD, Ontario--()--Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. (OTCBB: ESWW) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange FWB: EOW) announced today that David J. Johnson, President and CEO and Anthony P. Straggi, President of E Global Solutions, the Company’s exclusive New York distributor, participated in a expert panel discussion to provide guidance on New York State and City emission control requirements covering mandated retrofit installation and compliance deadlines for diesel on-road and off-road engines.
“We welcome the opportunity to participate on panels such as these”
With deadlines for retrofit compliance in effect, the General Contractors Association of NY hosted industry seminar on October 18th in White Plains, New York, for contractors regulated by New York State, New York City and surrounding counties for emission control requirements for diesel engines. Well over 100 attendees representing the independent construction companies serving State and City contracts heard panel members from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, the Metropolitan Transit Authority and the Westchester Department of Health cover the effective dates of enforcement, the affected equipment and vehicles, the reporting requirements and the consequences of non-compliance.
“We welcome the opportunity to participate on panels such as these,” remarked David J. Johnson, ESW’s President and CEO. “Understanding the laws and overlapping jurisdictions and requirements is critical, but owners and operators also need detailed information on available diesel engine emission retrofit options to make informed decisions, particularly as the timeline to enforcement is shortening. We are confident that an objective review of the unique benefits and flexibility of our on-road and off-road ThermaCat™ Active Level III Plus technology, which was designed with the end user in mind, will help ESW become a leading player in this important market.”
Anthony Straggi, President of E Global Solutions, commented – “The complexity of these mandates and cost of non-compliance means the construction industry needs a partner not a part. EGS is happy to be that partner by bringing what we believe to be the best Active Level III Plus—technology solutions to the general contractor community. Increasingly, contractors are relying on EGS and the ThermaCat™ technology for their equipment retrofits. We are currently working with a multitude of conference attendees to book orders, size equipment and to help them comply with these laws and regulation.”
