09:30 EST Monday, January 19, 2009

BURNABY, BC, Jan. 19 /CNW/ - IWG is currently holding more than $3M in shipments and backlog for the year, David C. Fox, IWG president and CEO announced today.

"Despite the world financial crisis, we currently have sales and backlog for 2009 amounting to three quarters of our 2008 revenue, and we are only one quarter into our 2009 year. This seems like a very solid start, although one cannot foresee if and when a downturn may affect the business," said Fox. "We are seeing conflicting signals as to the strength of the business jet market, but for now management believes that our prospects are good. This is especially the case as the industry increasingly acknowledges the need for water treatment, and our system engineering skills. With positive cash, no debt and careful management we will successfully work our way through this challenging period."

International Water-Guard is a Canadian aerospace company focusing on aircraft potable water treatment and full water system solutions. IWG has expertise in all aspects of water treatment, and has the products and know-how to provide high quality water for passengers and crew, and light weight, space saving solutions for the aircraft operator.
