DynaPep Announces Distribution Deal With H.T. Hackney

Energy shot maker also sponsors racer, boxer
BOCA RATON, Fla. -- DynaPep Energy, creator of the world's first Supercharged Energy Micro-Shot, has signed a distribution contract with Knoxville, Tenn.-based wholesale distributor H.T. Hackney Co. Hackney services more than 20,000 retail customers and stocks more than 25,000 different products.

Steve O'Donnell, vice president of sales at DynaPep, said, "We are pleased to be working with such a customer service-driven organization and look forward to the close relationship that H.T. Hackney presently enjoys with their clients and retail customers."

With strategically [image-nocss] located distribution centers, Hackney provides a distribution network covering 21 states.
In other company news, DynaPep Energy has renewed its sponsorship of American Le Mans Series driver Kyle Marcelli, currently driving for Intersport Racing.

Lisa Krinsky, founder of DynaPep, said "We are thrilled to sponsor Kyle for another year; his incredible passion and drive reach new heights with DynaPep Energy and we're proud to be part of that."

Also, boxing fighter Molly McConnell, sponsored by DynaPep, prevailed in the Women's International Boxing Federation (WIBF) and Global Boxing Union (GBU) Junior Welterweight World Championship bout in El Paso, Texas, on March 25.

"We at DynaPep could not be happier for Molly or prouder of her efforts; inside the ring and out," said O'Donnell. "Molly is an amazing athlete; this was the fight of her life, and she handled it like a true champion. Our sponsorship of Molly reflects our respect for her talent and DynaPep's support of a great fighter's spirit."

Boca Raton, Fla.-based DynaPep is the manufacturer and distributor of the Energy Micro-Shot. Packaged in a liquid 4ml twistoff top ampoule, its time-released suspension ensures hours of energy without the jittery "crash" that other products cause, according to the company. This is the result of active ingredients derived from natural sources without the help of sugar, and the Micro-Shot contains less caffeine than 1 cup of coffee.

DynaPep products are available in more than 75,000 locations in the United States. DynaPep is a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerging Products Development Group. EPDG, formally known as Warm Front Inc., is a Canada-based holding company that is focused on acquiring and distributing health and wellness products on a global scale.
