This means that GETH we expect to generate revenues in Q4 2017, a major milestone in the development of the company.” He further commented, “The centralized Carbon Finishing Plant will act as a ‘hub’ through which we will upgrade the reclaimed carbon black from our Tire Processing Plants, the first of which will be built in 2017 using this finance facility. We are very grateful to Rod Kagy at MEAH Global who introduced us to Rich Woods at READS Leasing and Credit, LLC and who has been instrumental in advancing this funding to closing.
