PR: ZK International, XSigma Corp sign exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with TNT blockchain

ZK International Group Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary, XSigma Corporation have signed an exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with TNT Blockchain to implement its patent pending software and blockchain technologies into its manufacturing process and supply chain management system. 

TNT Blockchain's patent pending technologies, are focused on streamlining three distinct areas of manufacturing within the supply chain which include:

• Track-n-Trace Technologies
• Internet of Things (IoT) Devices
• Blockchain Technology

Track-n-Trace is designed to improve the traceability and inventory systems of small-to-medium sized manufacturing companies to track raw materials and finished goods at the source, supplier, or factory, through the entire supply chain to the customer. By combining the TNT with the IoT devices, every device within the manufacturing process is registered on the Blockchain to create a digital identity, which cannot be manipulated. Finally, the Blockchain technology would provide transparency and security, as permissions and identity the technology would require will ensure the appropriate visibility of transactions.

Mr. Jiancong Huang, Chairman and CEO of ZK International and XSigma, stated, "As we continue to grow our business, it is critical that we evaluate and implement technology that amongst other important areas of our business, improves efficiency, lowers costs, and enhances security. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary's global distribution agreement, we look forward to staying at the forefront of our manufacturing process. We will continue evaluating opportunities to implement these Blockchain technologies into our network of manufactures."

TNT Blockchain is led by President David Christensen, who has over 25 years’ experience in building manufacturing and supply chain companies. Mr. Christensen is a "Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma", which is a recognized expert in Global Strategy Deployment with unique expertise in Global Supply Chain, POS Systems and Security, Logistics, Freight, Distribution, Inventory, Service Repairs, CRM, Customer Service and Call Center. Additionally, his International team includes industry experts in Engineering, IT Hardware, ERP Applications, Security Management, as well as Marketing and PR. He has previously worked for companies such as Compaq, HP, Cal Cartage, Qualcomm, Wal-Mart International, Rexnord Carlyle, Hypercom, and Verifone.

David Christensen commented, "We are pleased to begin collaborating with ZK International and XSigma and implementing our patent pending technologies into their manufacturing process. We deploy a real-time manufacturing, distribution, and inventory traceability system that helps prevent counterfeit products from suppliers and improves process efficiencies while reducing costs. By implementing blockchain technology into the supply chain, we will be able to significantly reduce transaction costs, human errors, and delivery delays. Additionally, the security of each transaction is enhanced and can be efficiently maintained, reducing fraud."
