Beyond Oil continues to grow its Global footprint, with Three Customers Piloting the Company's Innovative Solution as part of its Advancement into the U.S Food Service Market

VANCOUVER, BC and KIBBUTZ YIFAT, Israel, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Oil Ltd. (CSE: BOIL) (OTCQB: BEOLF) (Frankfurt: UH9) ("Beyond Oil" or the "Company"), a food-tech innovation company dedicated to reducing health risks associated with fried food while lowering operational costs, minimizing waste and enhancing sustainability, is pleased to provide an update on the significant progress it has made in its growing U.S. market penetration, including initial pilots with three U.S. customers and initial sales.

As part of its U.S. expansion, the Beyond Oil recently appointed Jason Hatfield as Director of U.S. Sales. Hatfield, a veteran of the food service industry, brings over 20 years of experience at leading organizations such as Sysco Corporation, Ecolab (NYSE: ECL), and Restaurant Technologies, Inc., where he specialized in oil management and food service solutions. His deep expertise in sales and operations is already driving meaningful results for Beyond Oil in the U.S. market.

This appointment has led to key milestones, including the launch of pilot programs with three notable U.S. customers: a regional multi-unit restaurant group based in the U.S., a nationally recognized full-service restaurant group, and a leading American university. Beyond Oil has also achieved initial small-scale sales, providing further validation from the U.S. market for its proprietary oil filtration technology, which reduces oil consumption, improves operational efficiency, and enhances sustainability. These milestones set the stage for a broader rollout across the U.S. food service industry.

The U.S. is home to a large and fast-growing food service market, which was valued at US$820 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to US$1.37 trillion by 20291. With FDA clearance and compliance with rigorous international standards such as HACCP, FSSC 22000, ISO 9001, Kosher, and Halal certifications, Beyond Oil believes it is well-positioned to scale its sales and operations in the U.S.

Jonathan Or, CEO of Beyond Oil, commented: "Expanding into the U.S. market is a pivotal step in our mission to revolutionize the food service industry with sustainable and cost-effective solutions. Under Jason's leadership, we are already seeing meaningful progress, including initial pilots with key customers. We are thrilled to welcome Jason to the team and look forward to his contributions as we grow our U.S. operation. This is a particularly exciting time for Beyond Oil, as we expand our reach to multiple new geographies, including, most recently, Europe and Asia, as well as these latest developments in the U.S."

Jason Hatfield, Beyond Oil's new Director of U.S. Sales, added: "Beyond Oil's innovative technology addresses critical challenges in the food service industry, offering a compelling value proposition to operators. Having seen firsthand how customers in the U.S. are responding during initial pilots, I have been truly impressed by the product's ability to reduce costs while improving sustainability and operational efficiency. I am excited to help expand Beyond Oil's presence across the market."
