Affinor Growers Engages Secure Strategy Group

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Marketwired – Dec 1, 2014) – Affinor Growers Inc. (CSE:AFI)(RSSFF)(1AF.F) (“Affinor” or the “Corporation) a patented provider of safe, high quality agricultural and vertical farming technologies, is pleased to announce that it has engaged Secure Strategy Group for financial and corporate advisory services.

Affinors’ vertical growing technologies use and control precise combinations of light, temperature, water, and nutrients to create specific growing conditions that result in optimum crop production with maximum product quality and shelf-life. The Affinor systems can be used to produce a number of high quality agricultural products including herbs, lettuce, spinach, cannabis and plants that require pollination such as strawberries. Advantages of the Affinor systems, over what has previously been considered to be the market leading system, include:

  • Estimated 60-70% labor savings due to automation and optimized workflow.
  • Improved lighting design for faster growth and significantly higher yield.
  • Estimated 25-35% reduction in equipment costs.
  • Estimated 30% reduction in space required to product the same output.
  • A patent-pending pollination technology allowing Vertical Designs facilities to grow crops like strawberries that require pollination (e.g. by bees).
  • A vertical farm of one square block, 30 stories high could produce the same amount of food as 24,000 acres of farmland.

Under the terms Secure Strategy Group will receive a monthly cash advisory fee of eight thousand dollars and one million warrants of the Corporation that are exercisable into one million common shares of Affinor at an exercise price of $0.32 per share on or before October 16, 2017.

Sebastien Plouffe, Affinor’s CEO, commented, “The global food system will experience a food security crisis over the next 40 years. Affinor’s exclusive technology can help to solve global food security and food shortages by utilizing automated, software-driven technology that is able to grow grade A1, non-GMO crops year-round without chemicals or pesticides. As we build Affinor we decided to engage an advisor that can not only help to bring capital and visibility within the investment community, but also expertise on building our team and accelerating our growth. This is why we chose to engage Secure Strategy Group and are proud to begin a long term relationship with a leader.”

Scott Greiper, Secure Strategy Group President, stated, “Food safety and supply is one of the primary risks affecting the entire globe.
