Processing to CBD
Who we are and What we do
Innovative Technologies Group Inc. ("ITG" or "the Company") is a growth-oriented, technology company that believes by bringing new technologies and innovations to commercialization, we will provide the marketplace with enhanced and lower-cost solutions to meet the needs of individuals and companies. ITG's strategy is to develop, scale and generate revenue from our proprietary technologies. Our initial focus has been to create nature-based solutions to replace chemical and fossil fuel-based processes and end products.
The Company was founded in 2019, is headquartered in Jacksonville, FL., and is led by a seasoned team of business and engineering professionals and shareholder-value focused Executive Management Team and Board of Directors.
As a keystone of our mission, ITG has acquired a license to a proprietary processing technology that gives the Company a unique, one-of-a kind competitive advantage over other processors and which the Company believes will be a major disruptive force in the CBD and other cannabinoid processing industry. Initially we will utilize our proprietary crude to THC-free distillate (CTD) technology and modular biomass processing unit (MBPU) technology to develop solvent free, efficiently produced clean, high-value cannabinoid and carbon-based products. The carbon biochar which is an additional output created by the MBPU will be further processed into activated carbon and in the future, graphene-based products. Graphene is a rare earth material which because of its chemical makeup is used to a small scale in electronics and component manufacturing. It has unlimited bandwidth and has 100 times the tensile strength of steel at a fraction of the weight. It is only beginning to be used industrially because it has not been able to be produced in large scale for commercial or industrial purposes. Our plan is to create much larger quantities at substantially lower cost than is presently available. If we are able to accomplish this, we can be a disruptor in numerous industries. There are a number of federal, state, and local sustainability grants and programs available which we are pursuing. Our intent is for the facility to be located within a qualified opportunity zone which creates special funding opportunities through tax incentive investments funds. The graphene development process is in progress.
As soon as our hemp processing development is completed, the Company also has plans to responsibly process wood biomass and other materials and manufacture all natural, plant-based products such as bio plastics and biofuels. This will be discussed in greater detail later in this overview.
Additionally, in an effort to utilize the product from our hemp biomass processing units and our desire to commercialize new technologies, we are in negotiations to acquire the rights to a developmental stage nutraceutical line of consumer products which has unique rehydrating capabilities and just as importantly, whose sales can be successfully expanded both online and through traditional distribution channels. We are also entertaining the possibility of acquiring a company which is already in this business space and augmenting their sales with a line extension of our products. We believe, this type of business expansion financing would be readily available. We are also in negotiations involving a licensing or joint venture agreement for a revolutionary particle reduction and moisture removal system, which will be employed across many industries. Additional funding would be required for these efforts.
Our initial project will encompass the creation of a CTD processing facility in Tennessee which should be operational in the fourth quarter of 2020. It will generate revenue from a tolling/service contract for products produced by the initial CTD unit which is in final development and on track to be online next month. Our contract provides healthy gross and operating margin profiles. The contract revenue will produce a steady stream of revenue which will require no cost for the raw material. The only cost will be the operational expenses of the facility. There will be an agreed-upon price to process the oil on a per liter basis. That amount will be paid to us when the client receives the processed THC free distillate. There will be no sales effort required on our part. The agreement will be a straight servicing fee contract.
Once we have the tolling revenue stream established, we will look to augment this revenue stream with a concerted sales effort. At that time, we plan to purchase our own crude, process the crude, and then market and generate revenue from sales of the crude. We have developed excellent opportunities in this area which we will pursue with a second processing unit which should be online in the first quarter of 2021 and a third unit which should come online by the end of 2021. The cost of the second and third machines has been included in our initial round of capital funding. At this point, without any other funding, ITG should be profitable and will be able to service the investor debt as outlined in the term sheet regarding investment in our first private placement offering.
With proposed subsequent rounds of financing we plan to continue our hemp and wood biomass processing effort utilizing the MPBU units. This process is a patent pending, university created catalytic pyrolysis method. We have acquired rights through a license to commercialize this technology. This effort will include the establishment of an additional processing facility in Tennessee which will encompass our wood biomass processing units. We will create contracts with local farmers in Tennessee and surrounding areas who will provide us with the hemp for our hemp processing facility. We will also create or house within the same structure (150,000 sq ft), our wood biomass facility. Our wood biomass will be provided by contracts from area wood mills. Our plan is to create a 1000 ton per day processing facility which will produce biofuel and bioplastics. We will provide a smaller pilot plant initially to establish profitability parameters before creating the 1,000-ton facility.
Also, as part of our long-term plan funded by subsequent rounds, we will launch a proposed hemp fiber division which will create hemp derived construction materials and high-value hemp derived consumer related products. We have started initial joint venture negotiations with a company which has extensive experience and developmental capabilities in this area.
In addition to these efforts, we are in negotiations with the manufacturer of a proprietary technology for use in drying crops far more effectively and with greater cost savings than processes now available. This technology can also be used in other industries and as an effective and cost -saving method for the conversion of all forms of liquid and solid waste. This market is extremely large both domestically and internationally and the use of this technology will be a disrupter in this area. This technology can also be used in mining to substantially reduce the cost of ore separation without environmentally dangerous chemical(cyanide) processes. Additional rounds of funding will be necessary to complete the purchase of these units once they are manufactured which we believe will be completed within 18 months.
It is important to point out that although most of our future development initiatives are dependent upon subsequent rounds of financing, we expect to achieve profitability with this initial round of financing.
Currently, the biomass processing division is focused on the following activities:
- Finalizing and completing production for the first processing plant in Tennessee.
- Announcing and completing an initial private placement offering of up to $1,100,000 Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes.
- Completing financial and engineering models of the Company's processing plant in Tennessee and future processing plants.
- Finalize agreements for joint ventures.
- Evaluating potential new processing projects, joint venture opportunities and potential acquisition opportunities.
- Ongoing development of innovative patent designs to develop lower-cost processing systems and applications.
- Adding qualified members to the Company's Board of Directors and Board of advisors.
