Applied UV Expands Reach into Global Cannabis Market

Recently Acquired Kes Science Continues Cannabis Market Penetration

MOUNT VERNON, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 1, 2022 / Applied UV, Inc. (NASDAQ:AUVI) ("Applied UV" or the "Company"), a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light ("UVC") for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, announces that its recently acquired Kes Science and Technologies acquisition continues its penetration into the Global Cannabis market. Kes recently received a large order for its AiroClean 420 from its US Distributor Growers House.

Applied UV's internal research estimates that the legal cannabis industry grew 46% from 2019 to 2020 achieving revenue in excess of $17B. The cannabis crop is subject to many viruses that could impede growth and destroy crops. Powdery mildew is one of the most potent destroyers of cannabis grows in the world. The pathogen spreads through the air and gets into the vascular system of the plants. It remains hidden until two weeks into flowering before it wreaks havoc on the entire grow. When it is detected, growers must destroy the crop, remove all their equipment, and conduct an intensive and costly deep clean. Certain fungicides can combat powdery mildew, but these are illegal in some states and are of questionable safety given they are sprayed on something intended for human consumption. Kes Science's AiroClean420 eradicates powdery mildew and other airborne pathogens and not only protects the crops but helps protect the personnel from airborne pathogens working in the facilities growing them as well.

Applied UV believes the Kes Science acquisition may allow Applied UV to further expand into the booming global legal cannabis market and capitalize on its rapid growth where further market penetration could result in increased market share, revenue, and earnings growth. The Kes Science & Technology Airoclean 420 Air Purification systems are currently used by numerous commercial cannabis grow operations throughout the US to help protect crops from all kinds of dangerous and contagious pathogens, including powdery mildew, grey mold/botrytis, allergens, bacteria, viruses, odors, VOC's.
