CALGARY, Alberta and TORONTO, March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magnetic North Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: MNC; MNC.PR.A) (“Magnetic North” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on Previcare, Inc. (“Previcare”). As previously disclosed on February 12, 2020, Magnetic North controls 32% of Previcare, a healthcare company focused on assisting its customers to protect themselves during, and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the initial spread of COVID-19, world-wide supply chain dislocation has negatively impacted the Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) industry’s ability to serve surging demand. Previcare has worked closely with its suppliers to largely overcome these issues and is shipping, both in bulk and in various size formats, to its customers with production levels ramping continuously.
Previcare’s product offering includes the ability to supply disinfectant wipes, which continue to see massive demand at the same time as there is a significant worldwide shortfall of supply. From a regulatory standpoint, over the past year Previcare has secured US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and Health Canada registrations for its disinfectant wipes and US Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) and Health Canada registrations for its hand sanitizer products; without these product registrations, no sales can be made into the Canadian or US markets.
Jeffrey Fredenburgh, President of Previcare stated, “Previcare’s focus on securing multi-source manufacturing for its sanitizer and disinfectant products, supported by certifying each active ingredient that goes into every batch, provides a competitive advantage for the company as a number of non-regulatory compliant PPE products are being recalled worldwide.”
Kevin Spall, Co-CEO of Magnetic North added, “With the global economy facing significant re-opening challenges, Previcare has identified several broader customer product needs. There is a large demand for some PPE products with an offsetting limited supply, and Previcare has positioned itself well to provide an even broader range of PPE protection against deadly pathogens over the coming months and years.”
As the world continues to navigate a number of re-opening efforts, new and existing customers are engaged with Previcare to assist them in securing a broader range of PPE and other therapeutics. Previcare is actively negotiating a series of potential large PPE transactions with existing suppliers. While there is no certainty that these transactions will be completed, Previcare, through Magnetic North, will share the specifics of each transaction upon completion.
