MARKHAM, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2021 / Pond Technologies Holdings Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Pond") (TSX.V:POND), (OTCQB:PNDHF) an ESG company addressing global sustainability challenges of climate change and nutrition, is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pond Naturals, has received a white label order for 5,000 bottles of Astaxanthin from a U.S. client.

Pond Naturals operates a 10,000 square foot algae production facility, in Agassiz, British Columbia, Canada. Pond Naturals sells algae, health food, and supplement ingredients generated from its own Regenurex brand and from third party producers. Pond Naturals' Astaxanthin is unique because it uses a proprietary natural extraction process that is both sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The Astaxanthin market is encumbered by the high cost of production and quality that can vary widely between manufacturers. Pond Naturals sees itself as a market leader in quality of natural Astaxanthin. Backed by controlled bioreactors and a proprietary natural extraction process where the product is never dehydrated or exposed to harsh chemicals, the quality of Pond Narural's Astaxanthin is high and is characterized by a sweet flavour profile rather than the fishy smell that is often experienced by many manufacturers. The primary advantages of naturally produced Astaxanthin are safety, efficacy, and sustainability. Natural Astaxanthin also has anti-inflammatory properties, which provides additional benefits for skin, joint, and eye health.

As compared to 2019, Pond Naturals revenue grew 24% in 2020 to nearly $4.5 million. With continued strong re-order levels, new client onboarding, and ongoing discussions in regard to entering new formulation verticals with CPG and CBD companies, Pond anticipates continued growth in 2021 and beyond. Additionally, Pond Naturals' existing customers are increasing order volume, resulting in more predictable cash flow. Pond Naturals will also be launching a powdered Astaxanthin product, which is generating strong early demand.

"We believe that growing consumer knowledge about the benefits of natural Astaxanthin and the risks of synthetic antioxidants has led to increased demand for natural antioxidants like Astaxanthin," commented CEO, Grant Smith. The importance of increasing consumer awareness about the benefits of natural Astaxanthin and its role within the natural products market is the key in continuing to aggressively scale Pond Naturals. We are excited to have received our first white label order and anticipate additional white label orders through 2021. Moreover, we will continue to have dialogue with a variety of verticals where our natural Astaxanthin can be applied and believe the sphere of opportunity continues to significantly grow."
