UltraStrip Delivers Initial Filtration System to Pierce Manufacturing for Water Filtration Truck

UltraStrip Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: USTP), the Stuart, Florida-based technology innovation company for homeland security, marine, disaster relief and defense applications, announced today that the Company through its Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. subsidiary has delivered to Pierce Manufacturing Inc. a filtration system. Pierce will offer the water filtration system as an option in their fire and rescue vehicles to provide potable water from contaminated water sources.

Dennis McGuire, Chief Executive Officer of UltraStrip, commented, "We sought out Pierce Manufacturing to market our EPA/ETV verified water filtration system to its network of municipal, military, and homeland defense customers. After our experience providing clean water to the residents of Waveland, Miss., following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, we designed a filtration system to better meet the needs of victims of disasters. We have delivered this state-of-the-art filtration system to Pierce as scheduled. Pierce will integrate the system into their rugged six-wheel-drive, all-terrain vehicle. The vehicle's ability to respond to a manmade or natural disaster and clean virtually any contaminated water to meet drinking water standards is unsurpassed in the industry. The Pierce water filtration truck also has been designed to meet the requirements of military and homeland security agencies."

"By offering the new water filtration system as a Pierce option, we continue to provide our customers with innovative products that allow departments to better serve their communities and be prepared for any situation," said Jim Parker, vice president government and homeland security for Pierce.

"This is an important example of how private sector innovation can and should support our national interest," said Joe Allbaugh, President and CEO of The Allbaugh Company, LLC and a director of UltraStrip. "This mobile water filtration unit is a valuable tool for disaster preparedness, military troop hydration and even to provide clean water in developing countries."

Mickey Donn, President of Ecosphere Technologies, stated, "We are very excited to have completed our portion of the project and delivered to Pierce this one of a kind filtration system to be integrated into the water filtration truck. This multi-stage filtration system is capable of removing toxic chemical and biological agents from contaminated water sources, including seawater and it has a unique ability to monitor the contaminated water coming into the system and the clean water being processed out of the unit offsite through a computer line or satellite. We learned valuable lessons responding to the water needs of the people of Waveland, Miss., following Hurricane Katrina with our Mobile Emergency Filtration System, and this unit's ability to manoeuvre through terrain devastated by a hurricane will allow help to arrive quicker and provide water to the people affected and the agencies giving assistance."
