VANCOUVER, May 14, 2013 /CNW/ - Garmatex Technologies, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of scientifically-engineered performance fabrics and apparel technologies, announces the appointment of Mr. Martin J. Doane as Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors.
Mr. Doane joins Garmatex with over 25 years' experience as an entrepreneur and senior business executive. As Founder and Chairman of Ubequity Capital Partners, he has been an established leader in the corporate finance, law, M&A, financial services and private equity fields and was awarded the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal for his contribution to the Canadian justice system.

"He carries a unique pedigree in that he is very entrepreneurial by nature and is adept at operating within well-established environments. His results-oriented approach and ability to think strategically will play a pivotal role in extending our track record of bringing innovation to the marketplace. "
Concurrent with Doane's appointment, Ubequity Capital Partners will be spearheading a capital raise of $15 million to accelerate the company's growth and is committing its own capital to the pool in advance of a planned initial public offering in 2014.
"I am thrilled to join the Garmatex team" said Doane. "The company operates from a very unique technology platform that is capable of evolving and expanding quickly to serve an enormous global market. As a result, I anticipate robust uptake across many industry sectors and look forward to steering the company through its next stage of growth.
"With the addition of Martin," said Gracey, "the executive leadership team is poised to accelerate the company's growth trajectory while continuing to deliver innovation for Garmatex's products and services as the company pursues new market opportunities."
