Joel Kanter, Applied UV’s Chairman of the Board, stated, “We are thrilled to have been able to attract John to Applied UV. While the Company has completed a lot of ‘foundational building’ in the last year with the multiple acquisitions and offerings, now it is time to move to the ‘building phase’ when we hope to be better disciplined in choosing our opportunities, and generate the disciplined growth we hoped would result from the accumulation of superb products. John’s vast experience in growing superb and focused teams, that are then able to engender the growth we and our shareholders believe is possible, is a huge step forward in ultimately seeing these hopes become a reality. We look forward with great excitement to what will be achieved in the coming months and years.”

John Andrews states, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity of leading Applied UV at this most important time for the company as we are in position to accelerate our growth in the global air purification and pathogen elimination market. The growing market tailwinds created by the recent government initiatives, guidelines and policies surrounding improving indoor air, Applied UV’s best in class suite of air purification technologies is well suited to fill this growing global demand of cleaner in-door air and pathogen elimination. I look forward to working together with our Board of Directors, senior executives, employees, and consultants as we embark upon this journey.”
