Jul. 27, 2011 (TheNewswire.ca) --
Toronto, Ontario Canada, July 27, 2011 (TheNewswire.ca) -- Pure Energy Visions Corporation (PEV - TSX Venture)(XYQ - FWB), ("PEV" or "Pure Energy"), is very pleased to announce the signing of an equity joint venture agreement with Linyi City Huatai Battery Industrial Corp. (Huatai), for the manufacturing, sales and distribution of Pure Energy's patented rechargeable alkaline (RAMcell) batteries to the Chinese domestic retail and OEM markets.
Established in 1998, Huatai is one of the leading battery manufacturers in China with annual production of more than 2.5 billion batteries. The new company will be named Linyi Huatai Pure Energy Co Ltd (the JV) and will be located in a brand new 6,000 square meter facility in Linyi City. The registered capital of the JV will be $10,000,000 with Huatai owning 51% of the JV and Pure Energy Visions Corp (TSXV:PEV) (OOTC:PUURF) , 49%. The initial term of the agreement is for 15 years.
Through the JV, Huatai will focus on RAMcell production and battery sales within China, while Pure Energy and its partners will focus on expanding sales outside of China. Production of AA RAMcells is expected to begin in the first half of 2012, using new state-of-the-art, high speed automated equipment from Hibar Systems Limited of Richmond Hill, Ontario Canada. The new high speed line, combined with Chinese production and Huatai's significant buying power, is expected to result in a high quality product at a reduced cost.
"We are delighted to be partnering with Huatai, one of the largest and most respected battery companies in China," said Paul W. Simmonds, CEO of Pure Energy. "The JV will have a very significant impact on all areas of our business including growing international retail sales with our partner iGo Inc. (NASDAQ:IGOI) and significant new opportunities in China - a new market for our technology. With the vast majority of OEM products being made in China, Chinese production will help reduce long lead times and various import/export issues we've experienced in the past."
"We very excited to be partnering with Pure Energy and its patented RAMcell green battery technology," said Wang Wensheng, Huatai's Board Chairman. "The unique combination of high performance, cost effectiveness and environmental superiority of RAMcell will be very appealing to our international customers and to consumers and OEMs alike in China."
