BRTE Brightec Inc (CE)

Brightec, Inc., (OTCBB: BRTE) creator of the world's first photographic quality glow-in-the-dark media, today announced that it has retained The Winters Group of Somers, CT, to represent their PlayGlo(TM) line of glow-in-the-dark puzzles and stickers in New England.

After a successful introduction at the International Toy Fair in New York City in February 2009 and test promotion the previous December, Brightec decided to kick off their nationwide launch of PlayGlo puzzles and stickers in its own backyard, and selected The Winters Group to help penetrate this territory. The Company is currently working to identify additional rep firms to bring PlayGlo to independent toy and gift stores throughout the US.

The introductory offering of PlayGlo products includes six animal-themed puzzles and four collections of stickers made with Brightec's patented glow-in-the-dark media. The great color rendition and print quality of these products belie the fact that they glow-in-the-dark -- no eerie green cast or over-painted outlines. Yet the real magic occurs when viewed in the dark where one sees the entire image as if backlit, something virtually unachievable with currently available glow-in-the-dark products.

"The Winters Group calls on exactly the type of stores that we are looking to be associated with," said Patrick Planche, President and CEO of Brightec. "PlayGlo is a perfect fit for toy, gift, and book stores, as well as tourist, museum, science center, aquarium and zoo shops. We thought it was important that the rep firm we selected handled these. We feel The Winters Group has the perfect combination of experience and enthusiasm, and PlayGlo is a good complement to their current product line. We're looking forward to working with their team and making significant inroads into the New England marketplace in time for the holiday season."

Brightec's first puzzle collection features six 11" x 15", 100 piece, animal-themed puzzles for children ages 6 and up, at a suggested retail price of $9.99. Also being introduced under the PlayGlo brand, are glow-in-the-dark stickers using Brightec's unique media. Each of the four different sticker collections, with images that complement the puzzle line, comes with repositionable backing, meaning the stickers can be applied to almost any surface and then removed and relocated. The stickers have a suggested retail price of $2.99.

PlayGlo puzzles and stickers are available to qualified retailers. All PlayGlo products are manufactured in the USA.
