MagneGas Generates $1.04 Million in Sales for May


182% Year over Year Revenue Growth  

TAMPA, Fla., June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MagneGas Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:MNGA), a leading clean technology company in the renewable resources and environmental solutions industries, announced today that the Company generated sales of $1.04 million for the month of May, surpassing last year’s sales during that same time by 182% year-over-year.  These are some of the highest combined industrial gas and welding supply sales in corporate history. The strong growth was largely due to strong results in San Diego and Sacramento, where the Company has been actively expanding the sales team and continues to promote MagneGas2® as a differentiating product for accelerated market expansion. 

“We are very pleased to see continued strong results across our three major markets,” commented Ermanno Santilli, Chief Executive Officer of MagneGas.  “California in particular has experienced strong sales results recently.  MagneGas’ sales in the San Diego market have experienced 49% revenue growth from January, following the acquisition and absorption of San Diego-based Complete Welding, to May, which was Complete Welding’s best month under MagneGas management to date.  Our highly-accretive acquisition strategy has already lent new networks of clients and strengthening existing relationships. For example, we are expanding our existing relationships around the Coronado Bay industrial complex in particular.  We are also seeing good sales results in Sacramento driven primarily by an expanding our customer base among the region’s agricultural companies.  We firmly believe that moving into the California and Texas markets will give us access to a very robust target market for MagneGas2®, the world’s only renewable metal cutting fuel.  We are committed to expanding in these markets to become an innovation leader in the industrial gas industry.”

“We are very encouraged by the continuously-growing momentum generated from these and other recent acquisitions,” commented Scott Mahoney, Chief Financial Officer of MagneGas.  “I am proud that our momentum has enabled us to swiftly integrate and build on our new markets. We have nearly fully-integrated Green Arc following its recent acquisition,  and expect full completion in June. Following that, we expect to fully integrate Trico by late July.  With a fully integrated IT, sales management and accounting platform, we have improved our monitoring and management of sales and business development activities, and can better analyze where the most profitable growth opportunities lie for MagneGas.  We have made very strong progress with our combined sales team to date, and we are optimistic that we can steadily accelerate our growth in the coming quarters.”
