June 8,
2010, Vancouver – Viridis Energy has
completed the acquisition of Westwood Fibre Products Inc., previously announced
on March 22, 2010. Westwood is a private company engaged primarily in the
business of manufacturing wood pellets and bagged animal bedding shavings. It

products is further solidified by this acquisition," says Chris Robertson,
