The new manufacturing facility in San Diego has the production capacity that exceeds even the most optimistic sales projections for many years to come, and the company is logistically and financially prepared to support extraordinary growth.

For the first ten years of production, the product was available only to commercial and fleet customers, and only in very large quantities.  While the drum filling machine continues to remain busy (filling an entire barrel in only one minute), the warehouse is also stocked with millions of empty plastic bottles and cardboard boxes, and the equipment to fill, label, and pack for shipment.

Ethos CEO Enrique de Vilmorin credits much of the success of the company to the support of one of their major customers, Allied Waste, the second largest solid waste collection company in the country. 

Eight years ago, their fleet manager reluctantly agreed to allow Enrique to test his product in a 29 year old garbage truck that had been taken out of service and earmarked for the junkyard because its exhaust was testing at 84% opacity, and it took 55% opacity to meet California standards at that time. 

After three weeks of treatment with Ethos FR, the truck tested at 30% and was consequently placed back into service for several more years. 

The company has since donated the truck to Ethos Environmental, and during our visit an opacity test was done as a demonstration and the truck scored 5.95%!!!
