Winning Brands and Surefil are treating their strategic relationship as a model to illustrate the capabilities of both companies. In the case of Winning Brands, this capability relates to the design of environmentally progressive solutions that have profound long term growth potential -- and developing its branding strategies to justify breakthrough relationships with top retailers. In the case of Surefil, the capability being illustrated is super-efficient production capacity utilization for the benefit of brand partners. In the words of Surefil CEO Bill Hunt -- "Surefil's carefully planned expansion will allow us to keep up with Winning Brands capacity demands, in turn allowing them to scale up to meet the needs of even the most senior retail chains in the world. Currently, we have 125 million units of planned production capacity with more than 50 million units of capacity already in use by qualified brand partners like Winning Brands. If more capacity is required, we will expand and install new production lines."

Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner favours this form of production capacity for the benefit of shareholders. "Our retail investors know that we need to raise capital from the market. They will accept and support this as long as the capital that we obtain is put to good use and grows the value of our brands through marketing methods. This increases the value of Winning Brands by a greater amount than the investment itself. That is true growth. By letting Surefil apply their capital to be tops in production expertise and Winning Brands apply its capital to be tops in brand strategy development, then the stakeholders in both organizations get the most for their money."

Winning Colours® Stain Remover achieved initial distribution in the Paint & Decorating sector as an eco-solvent that is exceptionally kind to skin and to surfaces that would ordinarily be off-limits to conventional solvents. Initial results from early marketing have revealed that consumers have been expanding their uses of Winning Colours® Stain Remover into a wide range of additional applications. Accordingly, Winning Brands has revised its label for 2008 to suggest this wider range of uses at the point-of-sale and facilitate listing by retailers in sectors beyond Paint & Decorating. Winning Colours® Stain Remover is being positioned to become North America's favourite stain remover. Winning Brands has begun to use the phrase "Got Stains?" on its merchandising, packaging and advertising of Winning Colours® Stain Remover to make the existence of stains and Winning Colours® Stain Remover an automatic association.
