Company Profile
Industry: Eco-safe Consumer & Industrial products
Mariner's Choice International, Inc.
(Pink Sheets: MCII) is a developer,
manufacturer and marketer of eco-safe, superior performance products with a
wide array of industrial, commercial and recreational applications for the
global marine industry and beyond.
The
Company has adopted the term “eco-safe” in order to differentiate its products
from the “environmentally friendly” class of products, which are not typically neutral
or safe to the environment (just less harmful than other comparable products).
Further, the quality of these ‘less harmful' products usually do not meet the
performance of their non-environmentally friendly competition.
Mariner's
Choice has developed and positioned its products as totally natural, eco-safe,
high quality solutions that consistently deliver performance
levels equal to or superior than current products on the market, including
those that contain caustic or hazardous ingredients.
Further,
the Company offers these products at attractive economies of scale -- in terms
of both direct cost and return-on-investment to the industrial/commercial user
all the way to the retail end-users.
Mariner's
Choice is servicing the global marine market with a full line of products for
cleaning and maintaining marine assets while offering specific product
categories that are applicable to
the recreational marine market,
the industrial market and the commercial marine market. |

Once
again, Mariner's Choice International targets two principle segments of the
marine market: the industrial/commercial marine segment and the recreational
marine segment.
The
industrial/commercial segment includes commercial shipping, cruise lines, crew
ships and boats, industrial shipyard operations, waterfront resorts/hotels and offshore
oil drilling platforms.
The
recreational segment of the market includes the everyday
boater and the boat yards, marinas and marine operations that service them.
The
corporate strategy has been to develop products that outperform current
products in the industrial/commercial market and then transition the
performance orientation from that market segment into the recreational market.
It
is important to note that Mariner's Choice does not anticipate the recreational
market to initially comprise more than 15% to 20% of total revenue. The
industrial/commercial market represents higher volume and profitability.
Mariner's
Choice has categorized its product offering into three distinct categories for
both recreational and industrial/commercial applications: Deck Solution, Under
Deck Solutions and Personal Care Solutions.
These
categories allow end-users to understand the product focus of Mariner's Choice
better, as well as, to offer the end-user expectations, and a method whereby
they can anticipate or desire product introductions.
The
categorization of products is also unique from the competition. It allows
Mariner's Choice to compete in multifaceted verticals (i.e., sanitation,
maintenance, etc.). Most of the competitors only compete in a single vertical
(i.e., sanitation).
Additionally,
the inclusion of Personal Care Solutions allows Mariner's Choice further
differentiation from the competition, whereby the end-user clearly identifies
with Mariner's Choice branded products.
All
of the products developed and manufactured by Mariner's Choice are completely
natural and eco-safe solutions, and when released into the environment, pose
absolutely no harm. Yet, all of the Company's products are equal or superior in
performance to most products containing harmful compounds or ingredients.
As
such, all Mariner's Choice products meet or exceed worldwide
environmental
compliance regulations and naturally work to preserve the
environment and ecology for everyone.
