FSI Inks New Contract for Food-Grade Manufacturing Business

Zacks
01-21

Flexible Solutions International, Inc. FSI entered into a contract with a U.S.-based company to manufacture food-grade products. The contract is for a term of five years with an automatic renewal for up to five additional successive five-year terms if neither of the parties provides written notice of a non-renewal at least 180 days prior to the conclusion of the then-current term. The products will be manufactured for the U.S.-based company on a non-exclusive basis. 

Revenues are expected to begin in roughly six months after allowing FSI to expand its clean room space and install the equipment required to produce the product. FSI predicts the contract to potentially generate revenues per year between $15 million and $30 million or more. 

In addition to being one of the leading manufacturers of biodegradable polymers for oil extraction, detergent ingredients and water treatment as well as crop nutrient availability chemistry, FSI is expanding its presence in the food and nutrition supplement manufacturing markets. The contract further underscores FSI’s move to enter the food-grade market and build a strong base as it looks to obtain more business in food-grade products. 

FSI’s shares have soared 228.7% in the past year against a decline of 17% in its industry.
