by FundingPost

October 1, 2008—Portsmouth, New Hampshire—Eco Touch®, a Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based manufacturer of earth-friendly car cleaning products, has been named one of the top 50 emerging companies in the U.S. by FundingPost in their 5th Annual Pitching Across America™ competition. Eco Touch’s unique car care line gives consumers and businesses a safer way to clean their vehicles without posing a risk to their health or the environment.

A panel of over 100 Venture Capital Funds and Angel Investors selected Eco Touch from over 300 emerging companies nationwide. Judging criteria included: professionalism of the written summary, current stage of development (customers, revenue), competitive advantage and need in the marketplace, feasibility for success, and whether the company is "VentureWorthy(TM)."

Eco Touch’s line of car care products features water-based formulas with high
concentrations of biodegradable surfactants, solvents and polishing agents. The application is simple: Spray on, wipe off. All of the products are non-toxic and free of any VOCs, fragrances or dyes.

Eco Touch is proud to be recognized as a top emerging company among such a remarkable list of companies,” states Eco Touch Co-founder and CEO,
James Dudra. “We have seen tremendous interest from FundingPost’s investor community and look forward to closing our first round of capital intended to support the company’s future growth.”

“There are a few key factors that make a successful company: A great product, the ability to sell that product, and having a huge market to sell it to,” said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost. “Eco Touch has these points in abundance and the Investors have taken notice.”

Eco Touch was founded in 2007 by James Dudra and Anne Ruozzi, two eco-entrepreneurs who strive to make a difference by bringing consumers outstanding and truly green auto care products. Eco Touch products include waterless car wash + polish, dashboard and trim cleaner, metal polish, and carpet + upholstery cleaner.

Is your car making you sick? Take a closer look at automotive cleaning products.

September 23, 2008—Portsmouth, New Hampshire—Eco Touch, a cutting edge manufacturer of earth-friendly and people-safe car care products wants consumers to “de-tox” their cars this fall-- inside and out.

According to Eco Touch Founder and CEO James Dudra, “The green cleaning movement has focused almost entirely on household cleaners, while Americans’ second homes, their cars, have been overlooked. Americans spend an average of 25 minutes each way in their daily commute, yet few realize they can now choose to green their car interiors and say goodbye to the toxin-laden automotive cleaners of the past.”

Traditional car care products contain VOCs (volatile organic compounds), synthetic fragrances, and other harmful components that can lead to headaches and cause chemical sensitivities, allergic reactions and other health-related problems. Consider that as the temperature inside your car raises, the chemicals you’ve applied to the dashboard, carpet, upholstery and other surfaces evaporate to form a nauseating brew of toxic fumes.

Eco Touch offers consumers a complete line of car care products that are non-toxic, biodegradable, and free of VOCs, fragrances and dyes. The Eco Touch line includes three cleaners for the car’s interior: Dashboard + Trim; Carpet + Upholstery; and Metal Polish. For the exterior, the company’s Waterless Car Wash conserves water, eliminates toxic runoff, and simplifies the cleaning process.
