Pushfor Investments Inc. Closes Acquisition of AFX Networks Inc.
SURREY, British Columbia, Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pushfor Investments Inc. (CSE: PUSH, OTC: PUSOF, FSX: 713) (the “Company” or “Pushfor”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the share and asset acquisition of AFX Networks Inc. – dba American Freight X-change – (“AFX”), a shipping and logistics Blockchain platform focused on the trucking industry, in consideration of 15,000,000 shares of the Company at a per-share price of CAD $0.10 and USD $250,000 paid in cash at the closing. The AFX shares were acquired from Professional Trading Services S.A., a privately held corporation.
The trucking industry is the dominant freight model for hauling goods within North America and is essential for a growing global economy. Transportation companies are excellent problem solvers; however, many of these companies operate with 20 or fewer trucks. They simply do not have the capital or means to develop digital platforms that can provide seamless communications and digital interactions within the numerous trucking companies across the continent.
The AFX platform is a 3rd generation dedicated Blockchain application and is designed to remove the risk and streamline key ‘pain points’ of the North American trucking industry by eliminating data redundancy, allowing immediate payment settlements, mitigating fraud, supporting digital identification, and providing end-to-end supply chain visibility.
Employing the AFX digital smart contracts, a structured and secure repository of all information of the goods, compliance requirements, and carriers provides ease of validation and immediate payment as products are moved from source to final destinations even through multiple shipping companies.
“We recognize that Blockchain technologies are set to revolutionize transactions for the accounting, banking, and financial world,” stated Michael Noonan, President and CEO of Pushfor Investments Inc. “We believe the innovative AFX platform will provide customers superior ease-of-use and seamless integration into the multibillion-dollar transactional shipping and trucking infrastructure.”
“We are very pleased that Pushfor Investments has acquired AFX Networks and its shipping and logistics Blockchain platform, they will bring an additional level of expertise in the cyber and security space to further enhance the platform.” stated Carlo Civelli, Director of Professional Trading Services S.A. “We look forward to supporting Pushfor and AFX in this and future endevours.”
