TAMPA, Florida, May 22, 2017  —

MagneGas Corporation (“MagneGas” or the “Company”) (MNGA) a leading clean technology company in the renewable resources and environmental solutions industries, announced today that revenues for its newest Florida location for industrial gas and welding supply have grown 265% measured April 2017 versus December 2016.

Know in the industry as ESSI, MagneGas’ wholly-owned subsidiary MagneGas Welding Supply LLC (MWS) is an established competitor in the industrial gas and welding supply industry in Florida. MWS opened its newest branch in January of 2017, and has enjoyed immediate market penetration, revenue growth and profitability.  This branch is the fastest growing location within the MWS operation in 2017.

“This is another clear indication that the MagneGas2® product is a disruptive technology in a commoditized industry that is quickly gaining traction in the local market,” stated Ermanno Santilli, CEO of MagneGas. “Not only is MagneGas2® opening doors as an excellent wedge product, it is enabling our experienced sales team to present our full suite of industrial gas and welding supply products.”

“When combined with superior customer service, our team has been highly successful in quickly generating profitable cross-sales opportunities,” continued Mr. Santilli.  “We are actively adding experienced industry sales members to our team today.  We are excited to expand our team and drive accelerated revenue growth so that we can fully capitalize on our opportunities for success in the near term.”

“We are excited to bring on so many new clients that have quickly demonstrated their trust in our team to consistently deliver excellent service and competitive solutions,” stated Scott Mahoney, CFO of MagneGas.  “We are hopeful that our Sarasota location will become a $1 million location as measured by annualized revenue in the coming quarters.  We plan on replicating this success as we expand our Huntington, IN location next, followed by additional locations planned in Florida in the coming quarters.  We seek to drive organic growth to rapidly enhance profitability in 2017 and beyond.  This is a very cost-effective mechanism to self-fund accelerated revenue growth within a low risk business model.   At the same time, we expect to selectively execute on near term acquisition opportunities in complementary markets in the coming quarters.”
