Integrated Coffee Technologies, Inc. specializes in applying biotechnology to plantation beverage crops such as coffee and tea. Our lead products are caffeine-free coffee plants and controlled ripening coffee plants. Additional products will include coffee and tea plants with improved disease resistance and tolerance of environmental stresses such as cold and drought. We have exclusive licenses to two patents; one for the production of caffeine-free beverages, and the other for controlling the ripening process of coffee fruit. Although coffee is the second largest commodity in world trade after oil with an annual trading volume of US$ 40 billion, the major agricultural biotechnology and seed companies have not pursued this market. Because of the market size and the lack of competition we believe that there are significant business opportunities in the coffee and tea markets for the sale of plants with unique characteristics, such as the caffeine-free trait, and improved agricultural traits. Integrated Coffee was incorporated in 1995 and is privately held. The corporate offices, laboratories and experimental field plots are located in Waialua, Hawaii on the north shore of the island of Oah'u. Facilities include 7,400 sq. feet of office and laboratory space. Leading the company is its CEO Christian Stüdlein and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. John Stiles. Mr. Stüdlein has many years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, interim management, and corporate fund raising. Dr. Stiles has over 30 years experience in genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology and has worked with coffee for the past fourteen years. Integrated Coffee Technologies is currently in the process of raising capital for continued research and for development of production capabilities.
