Naturally Iowa Featured as Only Food and Beverage Exhibitor at the 2008 USDA BioPreferred(SM) Showcase Conference
Naturally Iowa, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NLIA)
announced today that the Company was featured as the only food and beverage
exhibitor at the 2008 USDA BioPreferred(SM) Showcase Conference, where the
Company was only one of twenty companies in the United States selected to
participate.
The invitation to participate in the conference was only extended to
companies that can help the USDA "meet the challenge that Congress has set
for us -- to increase government procurement and use of biobased products"
(source: U.S. Department of Agriculture). Naturally Iowa is currently the
only dairy in the world that produces Ingeo bottles, which are made from
plants, not oil.
"Naturally Iowa was very well received at the 2008 USDA BioPreferred(SM)
Showcase Conference," said Richard Jensen, Plant Operations Manager for
Naturally Iowa. "We believe that this conference gave the company
tremendous exposure as the only dairy company in the world producing
biobased Ingeo containers." "This conference was an outstanding forum for
networking with officials from the GSA and procurement officers," said
William Horner, President and CEO of Naturally Iowa, Inc., "and it gave us
a roadmap for taking advantage of the BioPreferred program as we move
forward with our plans to aggressively market to the Federal Government."
