WENZHOU, China, Feb. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ZK International Group Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ZKIN) ("ZKIN", "ZK International" or the "Company"), today announced the formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary, XSigma Corporation, focused on creating, servicing, and enabling technologies in the blockchain ecosystem.

XSigma will aim to give the Company the ability to develop innovative solutions to support its core operations while exploring new opportunities in the fields of smart contracts, distributed ledgers, supply chain management, and other efficiencies afforded by blockchain architecture. Blockchain is a technical phenomenon with the ability to dramatically reduce cost and heighten services by automatically and permanently recording transactions, in the cloud, with complete transparency, solving numerous problems in documentation, contracts, data and content management, and manufacturing.

Mr. Jiancong Huang, Chairman and CEO of ZK International, stated, "Our continual pursuit of innovation made our decision to invest and explore a move into the blockchain highly strategic, with enormous potential for improved profitability and competitive advantages. With the recent investment into ZK International from global blockchain leaders, Tony Guoga from Bankera.com and Blockchain Center, along with Layla Dong from Blockshine Technology Corporation, we have been provided with the opportunity to leverage their knowledge, experience and relationships. We remain committed to being a leader in improving the global water and gas infrastructure challenges."
