ATLANTA, October 19, 2010 -- EcoSMART Technologies Inc. today announced the closing of a $2 million equity investment from Greenmont Capital Partners and the funding of an additional $2 million under its credit facility with Western Technology Investment (“WTI”). The company will use the funds to provide additional growth capital and to support the working capital requirements as it continues to rapidly grow the sales of its complete line of safe and effective pesticide products.

"Greenmont brings a deep expertise in branded natural products to the company,” said Vern Kennedy, CEO of EcoSMART. “In short order, we have become the undisputed market share leader amongst natural pesticides. We look forward to leveraging Greenmont’s experience and relationships to dramatically expand the awareness and distribution of our products.”

“Greenmont looks for companies in the Natural Products categories with proven customer traction and natural products that are unique and compete effectively with their non-natural alternatives,” said David Haynes of Greenmont Capital Partners. “EcoSMART’s impressive growth through leading home centers, grocery chains and natural retailers validates the consumer demand for a safe and effective alternative to synthetic pesticides.”

Mike Lemberg, CFO of EcoSMART, added “Western Technology Investment has been a great partner to the company, providing the working capital needed to support the rapid growth. The capital from Greenmont and WTI supports the continued growth and scaling of the company.”
