LEEP, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LPPI), has received a contract from the United States Government to manufacture sixteen specialized, insulated screening buildings to be used at various United States Embassy locations around the world.
The buildings are to be constructed of the company’s patented LeepCore™ structural insulated panel, which is used for all walls, floors, and roofs. The buildings, as part of the U.S. Government’s counter-terrorism initiatives, will be used to screen incoming mail for bio-terroristic agents, such as anthrax and other chemical agents, as well as potential explosive devices, before inspected mail is allowed into embassies or other government buildings abroad. Each structure under this contract will be constructed by LEEP, Inc. and equipped with specialized screening equipment, tested and installed at the LEEP, Inc. plant, prior to being shipped. A spokesperson from the state department praised the strength, R-25 insulation value, and lightweight characteristics of the LeepCore™ panel. The buildings will be ultimately located in both extremely hot and cold climates, and will be self contained, separate from other structures. The company has been designated by the government as a “preferred, pre-approved” contractor.
A spokesperson for the company stated, “We are confident that our business with the government will grow, and are pleased to be able to contribute to the safety and well-being of persons serving in government facilities abroad. Management plans to expand its initiative to market these and similar structures to other agencies within the U. S. Government, as well as allied foreign governments. The diversity and flexibility of use of the LeepCore™ panel make it ideal for a host of uses within various government operations."
Government business presents an excellent avenue for LEEP, Inc. to significantly expand its market opportunities. The company also continues its marketing initiative and business plan, both domestically and overseas, to utilize LeepCore in a vast array of applications in both residential and commercial construction in the private sectors.
