Mr. Li Hengfang, ReTo’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The market has evolved from customers considering the implementation of basic ecological management programs to where customers are now turning to ReTo to assist them in aggressively and quickly implementing sustainable environmental solutions. Based on existing demand and the expected long-term opportunity, and with the support of our Board of Directors, we are expanding our total solutions to allow us to capture our share of revenue from the ongoing operation and maintenance services. Our goal is to build our base of recurring, higher margin service revenue and add increased visibility into our business model and growth.”
