("Zenova", the "Company" or the "Group")

FX500 Production begins in the USA and the UK with orders placed and paid for by Zenova's sub-distributor in the USA

Zenova Group PLC's sub-distributor in the USA - Omnis LLC has placed an initial order for 7,500 units of the FX500 mini fire extinguisher for immediate delivery following a very successful trial.   In the trial the FX500 extinguished a lithium battery fire. Omnis and Zenova are now engaged with a number of significant retailers and have invested in a number of key retail specialist reselling agents across the USA.

Zenova  - a provider of fire safety and heat management technology solutions to a wide range of users across the globe, has begun production of the FX500 in USA as well as the UK following a very positive trade show in November with orders received to arrive in early 2023. The FX500 is now ready for both the retail and commercial markets, having significant performance capabilities of extinguishing all fire types at the simple push of a button even operating at -10 centigrade.

Commenting on the first FX500 order placed. Beau Preston, president of Omnis said,

"We are excited to be involved with such an exciting product and fully expect the FX500 will do well in the USA, hence our initial order and investment in retail, logistics and commercial sectors. Feedback has been very positive following a successful product launch at the end of 2022 in California at the Anaheim disaster trade show".

Commenting on the FX500, Tony Crawley, CEO of Zenova Group PLC, said:  Following the production in the UK to service Europe it is encouraging news for the USA production and sales to begin simultaneously, enabling a key marketing campaign to begin early 2023 across multiple regions in unison. The FX500 will be the catalyst product in the FX range to build awareness and brand recognition ahead of the other planned FX fire extinguisher product launches in 2023.
