BURNABY, BC, March 31, 2016 /CNW/ - IWG Technologies
Inc. (TSX-V: IWG) ("the Company" or "IWG") reported today that its
subsidiary company, International Water-Guard Industries Inc.
(IWG-I) has received a provisions-only Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) from Transport Canada for the installation of a
new upload Ultra Violet (UV) Water Sterilization system for the
Boeing 737-600/700/800 family of aircraft.
An STC is the regulatory approval allowing a modification to an
aircraft's existing type design in order to install systems, like
IWG-I's UV Water Sterilization products, while maintaining
airworthiness certification. While the subsidiary company holds a
number of Transport Canada and FAA STCs for its business aviation
products, this is the first one that that company has specifically
targeted to meet the needs of the commercial airline industry.
Darryl Jacobs, Executive Vice
President of IWG Technologies, stated "IWG-I has been providing UV
Water Sterilization technology to the world's best Business
Aviation Aircraft for more than 30 years and we think we have the
right solution for the commercial aviation marketplace at the right
time."
IWG-I is also pleased to be showcasing its airline and business
aircraft offerings on two continents at once. From April 5-7, 2016, IWG-I will be attending the
Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO Americas) show in Dallas and exhibiting at the Aircraft
Interiors Expo in Hamburg,
Germany. IWG will meet with aircraft operators, completion
centers, airlines, and maintenance centers from all over the world
who are interested in IWG-I's powerful potable water solutions.
"The adoption of our UV sterilization technology will provide
airlines with an easy-to-install system that offers a better flight
experience for passengers along with improved water safety and
operational efficiency" said Steven
Bis, General Manager and Senior Vice President of
International Water-Guard Industries, Inc.
