McKinstry and Atmospheric Water Systems, Inc. Enter into Teaming Agreement

Oct. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Seattle, Wash. – McKinstry, a national construction, energy and facility services firm, announced today that it has entered into a teaming agreement with Atmospheric Water Systems, Inc., (AWS) a California-based developer and manufacturer of devices that extract water from humid, ambient air.  AWS provides healthy water with unlimited supply, improves air quality, reduces allergens and particulates and provides an eco-friendly replacement for bottled water as well as reducing the work load of HVAC systems. Under the agreement, AWS and McKinstry will jointly pursue opportunities to deliver energy services, sustainable solutions and safe, pure water to clients with a special emphasis on the federal market.

For years, McKinstry has been a trusted partner in the federal government’s efforts to promote energy efficiency, reduce operating costs and spur job creation.  McKinstry’s teaming agreement with AWS is an extension of the company’s commitment to conservation in both the public and private sectors, and reflects a renewed focus on overall sustainability.

“We’ve built a reputation on delivering energy efficiency and renewable projects, and we recognize their crucial role in building a stronger, cleaner economy,” said McKinstry CEO, Dean Allen. “The products AWS has developed represent the first of many steps toward creating a green economy that expands opportunities while preserving our natural resources.  McKinstry is extremely pleased to be part of this effort.”

As the economic impact of bottled water and the need for safe drinking water worldwide has come into public awareness, the partnership between AWS and McKinstry is timely.  Both companies share similar values on the issues of natural resource conservation and bring innovative technological expertise to the challenges facing clients who need sustainable, cost-effective solutions to meet the growing demands for water and energy.
