HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries Inc. has retained Consulting For Strategic Growth I, Ltd. (CFSG), an investor relations firm specializing in domestic and international companies new to American financial markets, to launch a massive investor relations campaign on behalf of the Company. The campaign will include visits to regional broker-dealers in the northeast United States, introduction of the company to numerous stock portals, and introductions to the financial and business media. CFSG is targeting over 1,000 broker-dealers in the coming year.

Stan Wunderlich, CEO of CFSG, said the financial partnership with Amalgamated Resources Holdings Inc, announced this week, provides for loan guarantees of up to $70 million to support HQ's expansion plans. In the last 12 months.

“The company, in our opinion, has positioned itself clearly as an international leader in zero-toxin aquaculture by enhancing its vertical integration with an expanded state-of-the-art processing plant, the acquisition of a nutraceutical manufacturing facility, and plans for a zero-toxin feedmill scheduled to open in 2006”, he said. “This is coupled with new marketing and distribution initiatives, the opening of a new corporate headquarters in Seattle, and new financing. We believe the investment community will soon correct what we believe to be HQ's currently undervalued stock price."

Norbert Sporns, CEO of HQ Sustainable, said, "We worked with Stan and CFSG shortly after we became a public U.S. company and we believe their expertise will once again be important to our growth. We have built the company's fundamental business substantially in the past year, and we are now well positioned in a high-growth international market. We believe CFSG can make our potential clear to key members of the U.S. investment community and the financial and business press."
