This initiative marks a continuation of Iofina (OTC: IOFNF) 's strategy to enhance its iodine production capabilities, reflecting the company's commitment to long-term growth. 

In a statement, CEO Tom Becker expressed enthusiasm about the recent developments, highlighting that an agreement has been finalized with a brine water partner for the new plant. This partnership reinforces Iofina's efforts to solidify its position in the iodine market and build on the growth rates in iodine production observed over the past three years. 

Becker noted that the expansion is aligned with the company's strategy to drive long-term value, emphasizing that the new facility represents a crucial step in Iofina's operational and growth ambitions. The decision to enhance production capacity through this new plant is indicative of Iofina's proactive approach to capitalize on opportunities in the market, aiming to position itself favorably for future growth in the iodine sector.
