BioQuest Technologies Announces "Great Success" with Test at Tire Kingdom

JUPITER, Fla.--BioQuest Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of innovative, environmentally safe antimicrobial products, today announced it has completed a 16 store test of its DX-12 degreaser product with Tire Kingdom, the largest independent tire and automotive services retailer in the U.S. The successful test has led Tire Kingdom to approve DX-12 for a nationwide rollout of all 650 Tire Kingdom stores coast to coast.

DX-12 driveway cleaner is a revolutionary new product which effectively cleans an extremely wide range of oils, greases, transmission fluids, and other troublesome contaminants from all driveway surfaces with minimal deleterious effects on the environments or the surfaces cleaned. DX-12 is water-based and contains no caustics, acids, petroleum solvents or phosphates.

“We have had great success with our test of DX-12 and the bay cleaning program at Tire Kingdom,” said Arne Rotne, President of BioQuest Technologies, Inc. “Our product is much safer for the Tire Kingdom staff since it is environmentally friendly and it has better cleaning properties providing a stronger, more intense deep cleaning of the store bays. The nationwide rollout of DX-12 by such a reputable retailer like Tire Kingdom is a testament to the proven effectiveness of our powerful water based cleaners and degreasers. We are aggressively pursuing other relationships similar to this one and anticipate we will be very successful in product placement.”

Chicago-based Schwarz Supply Source will offer the North American distribution for the Tire Kingdom program with the DX-12 product. Schwarz Supply Source has been a national leader for over 100 years in the distribution of packaging and other supply items for some of the biggest retailers in the U.S. Schwarz Supply Source serves over 30,000 unique locations nationwide.
