Wellness Center USA, Inc. has announced that its wholly‐owned subsidiary, StealthCo, Inc. (Stealth Mark) is working with SFI Foundation, Inc. (SFI), the non‐profit organization established to issue and administer standards for the quality assurance of specialty performance and racing equipment.

The SFI Foundation has served the automotive aftermarket and motorsports industry since 1978 with a system of developing and administering various standards, certifications and testing criteria for use in motorsports. SFI strives to equally serve the manufacturers, consumers, sanctioning bodies, racers and government agencies through fairness, efficiency and respect.

The agreement reached between SFI and Stealth Mark signifies significant advancement in SFI's technology in their certification process, ensuring compliance to SFI quality standards, and to thwart the emergence of counterfeit parts and non‐compliant parts in the motorsports industry. Initial efforts to integrate into SFI's existing processes are already underway and production‐level activities utilizing the complete Stealth Mark technology suite, including its software, hardware, and marking systems, are scheduled to commence immediately and expand at various intervals over the coming year.

"Our decision to Stealth Mark our label is nothing less than our concern for the safety of racers around the world", stated Jennifer Faye, Vice President of SFI. "With this in mind, it is so very important that we do everything possible to not allow non‐compliant parts on track. We recognize the importance of our role in the racing industry and the team at Stealth Mark shares our passion and respect for motorsports which helps us do our job efficiently and to our fullest potential. We are pleased to be working with them to upgrade and enhance our quality assurance program."

SFI has an international presence with approximately 250 member and affiliate sanctioning bodies and well over 500 individual equipment manufacturers who participate in more than 110 specification programs. The primary users of SFI standards, or specifications (specs), are equipment manufacturers whose products are tested and self‐certified to the appropriate procedures. SFI Specs are included as part of the rules of race sanctioning organizations. Ultimately, the consumer benefits from the SFI program because it establishes recognized levels of performance or quality for a given product which results in a safer racing environment.
