VAUGHAN, Ontario, March 21, 2011 - Genesis Worldwide Inc. (NEX: GWI.H) ("Genesis" or the "Corporation"), a
leader in software and industrial technology for residential and commercial
construction, today announced the groundbreaking for the new production
facility for its licensee, Megastar Engineering and Construction ("Megastar
E&C"), in Hung Yen Province, Vietnam.
Megastar E&C, an emerging and fast developing Vietnamese engineering and
construction company, is poised to take advantage of the rapidly growing
trends in the use of panelized cold formed steel construction and advanced
building information modeling technology provided by Genesis ("Genesis
Technology"). The new plant will enable Megastar E&C to build single and
multi-storey residential and commercial buildings with greater efficiency and
speed while producing less waste and providing buildings that use less power
than traditional structures.
Genesis' President and CEO, Richard Pope, and Genesis' Board member, Alan
MacQuoid, recently visited Vietnam to negotiate the final terms for the sale
of the Genesis Technology and equipment to Megastar E&C and provided a
presentation on the use of cold formed steel building solutions to a group of
contractors, engineers and government building officials.
Plans are underway to open the new facility by the end of the year, which
will be used to supply cold formed steel building panels to South East Asia
including Vietnam, China and Japan.
