IFG Asset Management (“IFG”) has committed equity capital to CleanFiber, LLC (“CleanFiber” the “Company”) which will enable CleanFiber to expand its state-of-the-art cellulose insulation production facility in Buffalo, leveraging its breakthrough insulation technology. IFG Asset Management made a significant investment and Turner Smith, a Managing Partner at IFG, accepted a board seat with CleanFiber. Turner brings extensive experience in investment banking and has a track record of successful investment in CleanTech and recycling ventures. Turner Smith commented, “CleanFiber’s unique technology positions it to take market share rapidly in insulation markets, and we’re excited to be playing a role in advancing this technology’s growth.”
CleanFiber’s first state-of-the-art 60,000 square foot manufacturing facility will be the nation’s first utilizing its breakthrough manufacturing process and will create 30-35 jobs. The company already has millions of dollars in pre-orders and is sold out well into 2020, with an expectation of ultimately producing approximately 3 million bags annually. Jonathan Strimling, CEO of CleanFiber added, “We’re grateful to all our backers, and in particular we are glad to have IFG Asset Management involved, as we know they are eager to continue to play a role in supporting our growth as we roll out nationwide.”
