MIAMI, July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Onteco Corporation (OTC.QB: ONTC), (the “Company”, or “Onteco”), announced today that its subsidiary, NexPhase Lighting, Inc. (“NexPhase”), a designer, developer and manufacturer of high efficiency, high quality LED intelligent lighting fixtures, is providing further financial and project details referencing its previously announced contract to provide product and services to New York University (NYU)-Poly.

Jon Cooper, President of NexPhase, stated, “Our first project with NYU-Poly centers around the relighting of the Donald F. and Mildred Top Othmer Residence Hall with NexPhase LED lighting solutions. This residence hall is an eighteen-floor structure originally opened in 2002 and currently houses over four hundred students. The first installation of product will occur the first week of August with a second installation occurring in early September. We expect the final installation of product for Othmer to occur and be completed in November. This Othmer phase of the NYU-Poly project is valued at $356,000.00 (including emergency lighting) and will utilize our LED cove, down light and troffer product lines. We anticipate that these same LED product lines will be deployed in other areas of the University as we advance to subsequent project stages. We expect to make further NYU-Poly announcements in the coming months, which detail our ongoing progress and provide case studies documenting our successes. We will also provide additional financial information related to future project valuations as stages are released for this on going project. We are very excited to have been selected as a lighting solutions provider for NYU-Poly and are anxious to provide the University with incredible products and services that meet NYU-Poly’s i2e Campus transformation initiatives.”
