ScreenPro Security (SCRN) has commenced its first COVID-19 testing contract in Montreal with approximately 20,000 tests on a Hollywood feature film.

The company will be testing using the 1copy™ COVID-19 qPCR Multi Kit, (1drop), that can identify the new variants of COVID-19, including the Delta variant, and providing other services to the production’s personnel including office staff, on-set crew, carpenters, painters, film executives and actors.

Andrew Ryu, Chief Executive Officer of ScreenPro, commented on the contract.

“This is a significant milestone for the company. This new contract for approximately 20,000 tests over 3 months, will boost ScreenPro’s revenue and its margins. With Delta variants spreading rapidly around the world, we believe that our testing business will continue growing. Communities will need to be vigilant and test regularly to minimize the danger of coming down with COVID-19.” 

ScreenPro also announces that Mr. Alexander MacKay, a former capital markets executive has joined the board effective immediately. Mr. MacKay is a Toronto area capital markets veteran, having worked on Bay St. in numerous positions.
