UltraStrip Systems, Inc. has announced that it has awarded Shaw-Robotic Environmental Services, L.L.C. an exclusive services contractor Agreement for North America pursuant to which Shaw-Robotic will be the exclusive contractor for UltraStrip's patented, robotic M3500 water jetting system used for the surface preparation of metal surfaces, such as naval ship repair, storage tanks, and fuel tanks. The agreement calls for Shaw Robotic to immediately purchase four automated systems. UltraStrip will receive a royalty on all work performed by UltraStrip's robotic equipment. Additional purchases are required to maintain exclusivity and will be necessary as Shaw Robotic expands its operation and secures additional contracting jobs.
UltraStrip develops and manufactures robotic solutions to environmental problems in the surface preparation and coatings removal industry and has developed portable, self- contained filtration equipment for possible use in homeland security. UltraStrip's patented robotic water jetting systems are designed to provide an environmentally safe coatings removal process in both heavy marine and above ground storage tank applications. The robotic systems represent a significant innovation in the surface preparation of ships and other structures. UltraStrip's patented systems have been used on the USS Eisenhower, a U.S. Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the USS Cole, the U.S. Navy destroyer attacked in Yemen in October 2000, the USS Doyle, a Navy guided missile destroyer, the USS Shreveport, LPD- 17, Carnival and NCL cruise ships, as well as in the Lisnave Ship Yard in Portugal, one of the world's busiest commercial yards for the heavy marine industry.
