Acquires East Texas Industrial Gas Services Business
Acquisition
Adds Over $1 Million in Highly Profitable Service Revenues
TAMPA,
FL - February 19, 2019 -
Taronis Technologies, Inc. ("Taronis" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:
MNGA)
, a leading clean technology company in the renewable resources and environmental conservation industry, today announced
that the Company has completed the acquisition of an industrial gas services business based in East Texas. The acquired company
is one of the largest industrial gas infrastructure services businesses in the area, and the assets acquired through the purchase
significantly increase the Company's core asset base and infrastructure. The purchase price for the business was $1.5 million,
paid in cash at closing.
"This
acquisition represents continued forward progress in our growth plans", commented Scott Mahoney, Chief Executive Officer
of Taronis. "Over the past 14 months, we have made seven acquisitions that grew our revenues approximately six-fold
and
dramatically increased our asset profile. But we also understand that with growth comes added expenses. Consequently, the strategic
acquisition of this industrial gas services business will not only ensure our growing asset base is in good repair and available
to support our growing customer base, but also has potential to eliminate approximately $50,000 in recurring monthly operating
expenses."
Mr.
Mahoney continued, "This latest acquisition has the potential to have a significant impact on our profitability going forward
for several reasons. Firstly, this business provides a very high-margin service to a wide range of industrial gas distributors
in East Texas and Louisiana that we will now benefit from. Secondly, we can immediately begin eliminating recurring and redundant
expenses within our existing East Texas and Louisiana operations. Lastly, we intend to leverage the acquired employee's
skills and expertise to replicate this service model within our Florida and California operations in the coming quarters, which
will enhance our business operations".
About
Taronis Technologies, Inc.
Taronis
Technologies, Inc. (MNGA) owns a patented plasma arc technology that enables two primary end use applications for fuel generation
and water decontamination.
The
Company's fuel technology enables a wide use of hydrocarbon feedstocks to be readily converted to fossil fuel substitutes.
The Company is developing a wide range of end market uses for these fuels, including replacement products for propane, compressed
natural gas and liquid natural gas. The Company currently markets a proprietary metal cutting fuel that is highly competitive
with acetylene. The Company distributes its proprietary metal cutting fuel through Independent Distributors in the U.S and through
its wholly owned distributors: ESSI, Green Arc Supply, Paris Oxygen, Latex Welding Supplies, Tyler Welders Supply, United Welding
Supplies, Trico Welding Supply and Complete Welding of San Diego. The Company operates 17 locations across California, Texas,

antibiotics, hormones and other soluble drugs suspended in contaminated water. Lastly, the technology process is capable of reducing
or eliminating other contaminants, such as harmful metals, as well as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels that trigger
toxic algae blooms. The technology has prospective commercial applications in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, and municipal
waste markets. For more information on Taronis, please visit the Company's website at
