Tekcapital Plc
("Tekcapital", the "Company" or "the Group")
Portfolio Company Update: Salarius, Ltd. ("Salarius")
Leading U.S. Supermarket Chain Onboards SaltMe! Snacks
Tekcapital Plc (AIM: TEK), (OTCQB: TEKCF) the UK intellectual
property investment group focused on creating valuable products
from investing in university technology that can improve people's
lives, is very pleased to announce that portfolio company Salarius'
subsidiary, MicroSalt, Inc. has been accepted for a roll-out of its
SaltMe! crisps in one of the largest supermarket chains in North
America. We anticipate the SaltMe! crisps will be available in more
than 800 of their stores in 2022.
This is a significant milestone for Salarius for the following
reasons:
-- SaltMe! is expected to become a national brand in the low-sodium-full flavour snack category
-- E-commerce sales should be positively impacted, given a
correlation between retail distribution, brand awareness, and
expected increased ecommerce sales,
-- Salarius is expected to have a stronger go-to-market success
story to present to other key accounts in the following months,
and
-- MicroSalt(R) as a brand could be elevated to a national-level
ingredient, which we believe will encourage other food
manufacturers to incorporate MicroSalt(R) into their products.
MicroSalt aims to revolutionize the food industry with its
patented sodium microparticle, that delivers the full-flavour
experience of salt with roughly half the sodium. MicroSalt's salt
particles are approximately 100 times smaller than regular table
salt, allowing them to rapidly dissolve, producing a large
sensation of saltiness. MicroSalt(R) is all-natural, non-GMO, and
Kosher.
"We're excited to launch our SaltMe! snacks into national
distribution with one of the leading supermarket chains in the
U.S.," said Victor Hugo Manzanilla, CEO of MicroSalt. "This is a
major milestone for the Company and one that we believe will lead
to reduced sodium consumption for customers nationwide."
About Salarius Ltd.
Salarius, is the developer and manufacturer of a proprietary
low-sodium salt called MicroSalt(R). We are passionate about
improving peoples' lives with better-for-you snacks by taking the
lead in the industry by providing the best low-sodium salt
solution, based on the mechanical transformation of the salt
particle itself. This solution is the only one that delivers real
salt flavor because it is salt. Our new patented technology
produces salt crystals that are approximately one hundred times
smaller than typical table salt, delivering a powerful saltiness as
the micro-grains dissolve in the mouth, with approximately 50% less
sodium consumption.
Additionally, the ultra-small particle size enhances product
adhesion, which reduces waste and provides improved flavor
consistency. MicroSalt(R) and SaltMe(R) are registered trademarks
of MicroSalt Inc.
