Two companies, AmeriGuard Security Services Inc. and Aduro Clean Technologies Inc., have recently made significant strides on the OTC Markets Group Inc.'s platforms. Today, both firms announced their listings on the OTCQX Market and the OTCQX Best Market respectively.
AmeriGuard Security Services, a Fresno-based firm providing security services to various sectors, has begun trading on the OTCQX Market under the ticker "AGSS". This listing is seen as a major growth milestone for AmeriGuard as it seeks to increase shareholder value through improved liquidity and visibility. The firm's CEO, Lawrence Garcia, attributed this success to robust financials and shareholder commitment. AmeriGuard plans strategic expansion through organic growth and acquisitions. The company's listing was sponsored by Sheppard Mullin and is expected to broaden its investor base and enhance transparency.
On the other hand, Aduro Clean Technologies, known for its patented Hydrochemolytic(TM) technology for recycling waste plastics and converting heavy crude into lighter oil, has graduated from the OTCQB Venture Market to the elite OTCQX Best Market. Now trading under the symbol "ACTHF", Aduro aims to boost its visibility, liquidity, and investor access in the U.S. The company's CEO, Ofer Vicus, sees this transition as a testament to their unwavering commitment to enhancing transparency, accessibility, and shareholder engagement.
Both these transitions are facilitated by OTC Markets Group Inc., a regulator of markets for trading U.S. and international securities. The group operates three public markets: OTCQX(TM) Best Market, OTCQB(TM) Venture Market, and Pink(TM) Open Market. These moves by AmeriGuard and Aduro are anticipated to raise their profiles within the U.S. investment community and provide broader shareholder access as they continue to expand and evolve.
