Doug Mann is quoted as saying, "After the 2009 economic downturn, several people worked diligently to find a Business Model that would restore value to our shareholders and a return of credibility to the company. Where several other OTC companies turned off the lights and closed the doors, we continued our search for a new business. It seems our tenacity has been rewarded."
Jean-Eric Plamondon, President of Amero International Inc. says, "This is an excellent opportunity for us and the logical next step in our growth. As our revenues and inventory levels continue to grow, it only makes sense that the public vehicle is the way to go.
