Sale of 300KW Venturi Plasma Arc Unit for Immediate Delivery,
Company Executes 13 Country Marketing Agreement for New 50 Units
PHOENIX, AZ, Jan. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taronis Technologies, Inc., (“Taronis” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: TRNX), a sustainability technologies company, announced that the Company’s former subsidiary, Taronis Fuels, has executed a binding agreement with MC Consulting Teknoloji Enerji Danismanlik Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi (“MC Consulting”), an energy technology marketing firm based in Ankara, Turkey.
The agreement calls for the immediate sale of one 300KW Venturi plasma arc gasification unit for $5 million to MC Consulting from Taronis Fuels. Taronis has an existing inventory of gasification units, and it will facilitate the immediate sale of an existing unit to be refurbished to a like new condition. The unit has a target delivery date in Ankara of February 29, 2020.
MC Consulting and Taronis Fuels also entered into a multi-year regional marketing agreement. Taronis Fuels has granted MC Consulting an exclusive territory for the marketing and sale of Venturi gasification units for the production of MagneGas, a renewable metal cutting fuel that replaces acetylene, propane and other traditional industrial gases. The initial marketing territory includes Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Moldavia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
MC Consulting shall initially market fifty 300KW Venturi plasma arc gasification units at a sales price of $5 million, as well as industry standard royalty payments to be paid periodically, in perpetuity, based on MagneGas production within the territory of each buyer. MC Consulting shall earn an industry standard commission as a marketing consultant on applicable unit sales.
The immediate sale of one gasification unit to MC Consulting will serve as a fully functional technical sales demonstration unit to be based in Ankara. Multiple countries within the marketing territory have already expressed a high level of interest in replicating the joint venture model constructed between MC Consulting and Taronis Fuels. This joint venture has been highly successful in gaining the support of the Turkish government across multiple government ministries, including the conditional ban of acetylene to accelerate the countrywide adoption of MagneGas as the sole metal cutting fuel in Turkey within 24 months.
“We are very pleased to announce our expanded relationship with MC Consulting,” commented Scott Mahoney, CEO of Taronis. “The executive team at MC Consulting has demonstrated a unique ability to gain immediate access to the most senior levels of the Turkish government. They have also done an excellent job facilitating the joint venture to support the initial $165 million contract to deliver 30 gasification units into Ankara. We have the highest level of confidence in MC Consulting as a key partner in Turkey.”
“With this impressive success, we have decided to significantly expand our commercial ties with MC Consulting. We have already been introduced to multiple heads of state within the region as a direct result of our relationship with MC Consulting. We have been solicited to replicate the joint venture model established in Turkey with several additional countries in the region.”
“For centuries, Turkey has been the commercial hub connecting Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. With the successful launch of our Turkish joint venture, we intend to fully leverage this momentum to replicate our business model in many more countries in 2020 and beyond.”
“With the possible sale of an additional fifty gasification units, this has the potential to generate millions of dollars in additional royalties back to Taronis Technologies. We have recently announced a share buyback program. We hope that shareholders can now begin to better understand why we cancelled our recent proposed financing transaction and instead elected to pursue this strategy. We believe that the opportunity to collect scalable royalty income from international unit sales has the ability to deliver significant value beyond the initial Turkish joint venture,” concluded Mr. Mahoney.
