OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 21, 2015 / Plaintree Systems Inc. (Plaintree, traded on CSE under the symbol NPT).

Plaintree announced today that it has purchased the assets and operations of Madawaska Doors Inc. The transaction was completed by way of an asset transaction and was paid for out of the Company’s internal resources. No debt of Madawaska Doors Inc. was assumed by Plaintree as part of the transaction.

“I was contacted about the opportunity to acquire this 40 year old, highly revered company about a month ago,” said David Watson, Plaintree CEO. “It has designed and manufactured doors for high end homes throughout the world including mansions for one of the top 5 ranked golfers and a certain rock star that had his own television reality show that took place in his Madawaska Door equipped home.”

“With the marketing and manufacturing knowledge experience that Plaintree has, we plan to expand Madawaska Doors’ product line and market place with further diversification,” Mr. Watson continued. “The company’s manufactured product being either 100% recyclable or biodegradable, we are proud to carry on this environmentally friendly operation and tradition.”
