TORONTO, Aug. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - McVicar Industries Inc. ("McVicar") reports that the production facilities of its wholly owned chemical subsidiary Zhejiang Hongbo Chemical Co. Ltd. ("Hongbo") continues to be illegally occupied by the factory managers and staff as announced in the previous press release dated on August 13, 2013. Currently, the local government authorities, upon the requests of the Company, have been involved in the negotiation with the occupying group. However, leaders of the occupying group have still not communicated any meaningful demands or conditions for the cessation of their illegal occupation.

McVicar has continued in its efforts with local government and law enforcement authorities to regain lawful possession and control of the Hongbo factory.  McVicar has also contacted the Canadian Embassy in China and the Trade Commissioner's office in Shanghai for assistance. McVicar continues to pursue various venues to rectify the issues and regain the Hongbo factory as the event has impacted the continuation of Hongbo's business.
