The arrangement with Canon Financial Services will represent an additional important step in Applied UV’s growth. With best-in-class services for end-user financing solutions and the strength of the Canon brand, business users will be able to incorporate Applied UV’s air purification product suite into their everyday practices with financial flexibility. In addition, with the recently announced acquisitions of Puro Lighting and LED Supply Co, the Canon Financial Services strategic collaboration could further bolster the adoption of the Puronet Disinfection as a Service Solution, which incorporates the company’s software and hardware systems.

Larry Brittingham, Senior Manager, Sales Support and Marketing, of CFS, stated, “As a true captive finance company our goal is to provide best-in-class products and services to our customers. We are pleased to have been selected by Applied UV to assist with value added financial solutions. We look forward to this exciting new opportunity and creating innovative products and programs that will address the changing needs of the customers.”

Max Munn, Applied UV’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The collaboration with Canon Financial was a natural next step with our strategic manufacturing relationship with Canon Virginia, Inc. We believe that as governments address implementing improving indoor air quality (IAQ) initiatives, our fixed and mobile air and surface purification suite offer the best-in-class solutions. It is our intention to not only provide the best value for large institutional medical providers and businesses, we feel that this new financial collaboration with Canon Financial will help to significantly increase our market share and adoption of our entire suite of air and surface disinfection solutions and simultaneously enhance the financial strength of our Company."
