CerMedia Announces New MarinePure^™ Marketing Personnel, Regional Distribution Partner and Sales Support Initiatives

BUFFALO, N.Y., October 12, 2012 - CerMedia^™ LLC, a technology developer, manufacturer and international provider of high surface area ceramic media, announces several initiatives supporting the marketing and sale of its MarinePure^™ line of Thin Bio-Film Technology^™ products for managing the nitrogen cycle in aquatics applications.

The company recently appointed Nancy Jackson as business development manager, with the responsibility of expanding distributor relationships and overseeing marketing and sales outreach initiatives for the MarinePure product line.  Jackson brings more than 20 years of experience in the home improvement and pet product supply industries, having served in former roles including her most recent as territory manager for Stainmaster Carpet.

In her new role, Jackson has helped the company secure a distributor relationship with Wilson, N.Y.-based Fedko Enterprises, which will expand MarinePure product reach in Western and Central N.Y., Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern Ontario (Canada), and throughout the states of Maryland and New Jersey.  Fedko Enterprises became an official distributor of MarinePure products in August of 2012.

"As a family-owned business operating for more than 25 years, we are proud to offer quality products and service support to the pet supply industry," said Vince Papsidero at Fedko Enterprises.  "We see the MarinePure product line, and particularly its history of exceptional performance in the aquatics industry, as a promising addition to our business, and look forward to working with CerMedia to expanding its reach throughout our distribution channels."

CerMedia is also executing several marketing strategies to bolster awareness of the MarinePure product line and support the sales efforts of its distribution network.  This includes development of a new retail store display and marketing kit, both of which are being launched at H.H. Backer's Pet Industry Christmas Trade Show, Oct. 12-14 in Chicago (booth No. 1828).

"We've developed these tools to make communication of the MarinePure message both easy and effective for aquarium supply stores," said Jackson.  "Our new retail displays are visually attractive and provide hobbyists with a list of compelling advantages to using MarinePure biofilter media, and the marketing kit provides store owners with additional suggestions for selling the product line.  In addition, our new culture kit enables store owners to offer pre-cultured spheres to new MarinePure customers, which can improve their initial success in the hobby."

The company has also launched a new CerMedia website (www.cermedia.com), which provides detailed information on the complete offering of MarinePure products.  The website includes easily navigable technical data, product specifications and instructions for use, as well as customer testimonials and purchasing contacts.

MarinePure^™ with Thin Bio-Film Technology^™ Offers Premium Bio-filtration Capabilities for the International Aquatics Industry

CerMedia LLC, a technology developer, manufacturer and international provider of high surface area ceramic media, offers its MarinePure line of Thin Bio-Film Technology^™ products for managing the nitrogen cycle in aquatics applications.

With an interconnected open-flow pore structure that facilitates up to 100 times more inhabitable surface area than competing bio-media filters, MarinePure products provide an ideal substrate for thin bio-film development. The thin film makes the supply of necessary nutrients immediately available for the growth of beneficial bacteria, which aid in removing ammonia and nitrites from the aquatic environment while also offering the potential to reduce nitrates. It also prevents the buildup of thick flocs that cause clogging with other bio-medias. MarinePure is equally suitable for salt and fresh water fish tanks, and in outdoor ponds including koi ponds.

“MarinePure offers exceptional bio-filtration capabilities facilitated by approximately 150,000 sq. ft. per cu. ft. (510m²/L) of available surface area for bacteria growth – all within a light, smaller-footprint substrate,” said Nancy Jackson, CerMedia business development manager. “This translates to reduced tank maintenance while allowing for higher fish loads, and can provide an overall greater value for the customer due to the product line's premium-level performance characteristics.”

MarinePure products are composed of an inert inorganic aluminosilicate material that has been fired to temperatures of up to 1850°F (1010°C). Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, MarinePure products are designed for use with all types of bio-filters, including sumps, canister filters, shower filters, wet/dry filters and hang-on-the-back filters, or can be placed directly in the tank.
