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.”
