Kane Biotech Expanding bluestem(TM) to the USA
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/01/16 -- Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KNE) (the "Company" or "Kane Biotech") is pleased to announce it will be launching its bluestem™ brand of premium pet oral care products at Global Pet Expo in Orlando Florida March 16th-18th.
bluestem was released to select pet specialty retailers in Canada in 2015 and quickly demonstrated a high level of response from Canadian pet parents as well as excellent sell-through rates for its retail stores. The attractiveness and close proximity of the larger US market enticed Kane Biotech to expand bluestem's availability south of the border. "We are thrilled to be showcasing our innovative, clinically proven, safe and effective bluestem products at the world's largest pet industry gathering. I personally invite all buyers attending Global Pet Expo to visit our booth, meet our team and learn more about the bluestem opportunity," says Kane Biotech CEO Mark Ahrens-Townsend.
Global Pet Expo is the pet industry's largest annual trade show, presented by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA). More than 6,000 buyers from over 80 countries are expected to attend this year.
bluestem oral care will be located at booth #5344 in the 'What's New!' section of the exhibition hall. Meeting invitations are extended to distributors, retailers, and industry insiders. With a new booth, product samples, and advertising support in the Global Pet Expo directory and dailies, the show is expected to be busy and productive, generating lots of new opportunities for the sale of bluestem in pet specialty stores across the US. Later this year bluestem will also exhibit at Super Zoo in Las Vegas, followed by the Canadian PIJAC show in September.

About Kane Biotech Inc.
Kane Biotech is a biotechnology company engaged in the development and commercialization of products that prevent and remove biofilms. Biofilms develop when bacteria and other microorganisms form a protective matrix that acts as a shield against attack. When in a biofilm, bacteria become highly resistant to antibiotics, biocides, disinfectants, high temperatures and host immune responses. This resiliency contributes to human and animal health problems such as tooth decay, chronic inflammatory skin disorders, recurrent urinary tract infections, chronic wounds and medical device associated infections.
Kane Biotech uses patent protected technologies based on molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation/dispersal and methods for finding compounds that inhibit or disrupt biofilms. The Company has evidence that these technologies have potential to significantly improve the ability to prevent and/or destroy biofilms in several medical and industrial applications.
