George's early foray into the international arena in 2001 and 2002 searching for reliable, less costly production facilities culminated in the present day strong joint venture relationships and affiliated companies in China and elsewhere in the world. The development of these relationships has allowed Paragon to grow exponentially in the last few years in its ability to provide quality products at reasonable prices for the customer's of Paragon Water Systems, Inc. As a result of the strong ties with the China production facilities Paragon today is in the unique posture to take new production projects from conception through full production in a very short turn around time unlike many of Paragon's competitors. George's role as CEO is a natural progression of the application of the knowledge he attained during his tenure with Paragon Water Systems, Inc. George brings the unique insider's knowledge of the entire water filtration product process from the formation of a product concept thru tooling, testing, certification, production and distribution of various water filtration products to each of the customers Paragon Water Service, Inc. services.
