Donald F. Haller, Jr., director and major shareholder, commented, “SECOS has made tremendous progress in the past few years. We are grateful to Mark and his investor group for quickly recognizing the value of SECOS and participating in this placement. We value Deutsch Capital as true partners and look forward to working with Mark as we continue to build the business.”
Mark Deutsch, President of Deutsch Capital, said, “Having been in private equity for over 30 years, I have seen many companies that fall into the “sustainable” space. For many reasons, this sector is exceedingly difficult. SECOS clearly has a differentiated business model that has proven successful and, I believe, the company is in the early stages of building a transformative business that will change the bioplastics market. We are extremely grateful that SECOS has chosen to work with Deutsch Capital.”
