Valmie’s Vertitek in Expansion Mode as Drone Racing Becomes ESPN’s Newest Televised Sport

Like ESPN, Valmie Resources’ (OTCBB:VMRI) wholly owned subsidiary, Vertitek, is betting on drone racing to become the next noncontact “sport” to attain a mass audience. Following poker, spelling bees, and the recent arrival of e-sports, drone racing is primed to become the next sensation in nonathletic programming. As a result, Vertitek is poised to grow alongside the nascent sport with a new larger center of operations and home to its drone racing division.

Vertitek’s recently established division, Vertitek Racing, specializes in fabricating and selling racing frames for the competitive drone racing industry. The enhanced fabrication facility will enable the in-house production of Vertitek Racing’s expanded product line. The line of light and durable frames is expected to continue to grow in popularity among drone racers throughout the country.

On the heels of its successful racing frame venture, Vertitek Racing launched its team of sponsored drone pilots that promote the company brand and compete in racing events as the company’s branded team. The team consists of three racing pilots and a two-member freestyle crew. One of the team members participated in the US Drone Nationals in August, the first-ever such event to be nationally covered live on ESPN.

“Just as ESPN began eyeing drone racing, Vertitek had the foresight to enter the field at a very early stage and to establish its name among the industry’s pioneers and leaders,” said Gerald B. Hammack, President and CEO of Valmie Resources. “We couldn’t be happier to be part of the drone racing community, and acknowledge Vertitek for early recognition of the value of this exciting field.”

ESPN recently began broadcasting the Drone Racing League’s series of events, showcasing 10, one-hour shows on ESPN and ESPN2. An hour-long introduction to the sport was also broadcast on ESPN2.
