MagneGas Acquires
Independent Fuel Distribution Company
Company Acquires Equipment Sales and
Service, Inc. of Florida
TAMPA, FL - 10/27/14 -- MagneGas
Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNGA), a technology company that counts among its inventions
a patented process that converts liquid waste into a hydrogen-based fuel, announced today that it has completed the acquisition
of Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. ("ESSI") of Clearwater, Florida. ESSI is an established industrial gas distribution
company with estimated 2014 gross revenues of almost $2 million earned through the sales of industrial gases and related products.
MagneGas has purchased this established
local industrial gas distributor to provide a platform to further MagneGas® fuel sales and expand its customer product availability.
The Company believes that the purchase of ESSI will allow more rapid market penetration to grow recurring sales of MagneGas®
fuel while offering a wider range of services to industrial, metalworking, and fabrication customers. Established more than 20
years ago, this distributor is one of the largest independently owned gas distribution companies in the area offering a broad range
of welding gas products and services. Magnegas purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of ESSI in exchange for $3 million in cash
paid at the closing. The acquisition is expected to bring the overall MagneGas fuel division to a breakeven level in 2015.
"Having founded
ESSI over 20 years ago based on customer service, I am pleased to see that it will stay independent with a Company such as MagneGas
that is focused customer satisfaction and innovation. I am excited to have found an independent Company that is growing and cares
about its customers as much as I do", stated Robert Ficocelli, Founder and CEO, Equipment Sales and Service, Inc.
"After acquiring
this local well-established gas distributor, we are now entering the next phase of our expansion into the industrial, metal working,
and fabrication markets. This purchase will provide a springboard to introduce and sell Magnegas2® fuel to a wider audience
of customers around the Tampa Bay area", stated Ermanno Santilli, CEO of MagneGas Corporation. "Separately, we have
purchased a nearby industrial building which will allow for the expansion of MagneGas headquarters as we continue to attract customers
and partners from around the world".
