ALLENTOWN, Pa., and TAIZHOU, China, February 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuling Global Inc. (NASDAQ:FORK) ("Fuling Global" or the "Company"), a specialized producer and distributor of environmentally-friendly plastic serviceware, with precision manufacturing facilities in both the U.S. and China, today clarified its January 15, 2016 press release regarding its desire for its subsidiary Domo Industry Inc. ("Domo") to supply disposable cutlery to the western region of Bunzl Distribution USA Inc. ("Bunzl USA").
The earlier press release stated that Domo will begin supplying certain products from January 2016. While Domo stands ready to supply such products to the western region of Bunzl USA's R3 Redistribution Division ("R3"), any such cooperation will depend on proposed orders from R3 and attractive bids from Domo, neither of which is guaranteed to occur. The parties have held exploratory discussions and R3 is willing to receive bids from Domo, but the parties do not have any agreement at this time.
