Taronis Fuels Expands into Miami Market
Immediately Adds $2 Million in Revenue,
Access to the Caribbean Market
PHOENIX, AZ, Aug. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taronis Fuels, Inc., (“Taronis” or “the Company”) (OTCQB: TRNF), a global producer of renewable and socially responsible fuel products, today announced the expansion into the Miami, Florida market through the purchase of all the business assets of an existing industrial gas distributor based in South Miami. The transaction adds approximately $2.0 million in recurring industrial gas and welding supply revenues. The purchase price was $2.0 million in total, with $1.5 million paid as cash at closing, and $0.5 million paid in monthly installments over the next 12 months.
“This transaction represents a key component of our expansion plans for Florida, the Caribbean and Central American markets,” commented Scott Mahoney, CEO of Taronis Fuels. “Our existing Florida team had a record July sales month, despite the current COVID-19 pandemic and related economic headwinds. Our retail sales team is capitalizing on the current opportunity, and we want to support their expansion objectives.”
“We have developed a robust pipeline of prospective MagneGas users in the Port of Miami over the past year. In order to begin fulfilling MagneGas orders, we needed to establish a scalable base of full-service operations. This transaction accomplishes that goal.”
Mr. Mahoney continued, “In addition, our newly added senior sales team in Miami has a deep network of existing clients across the Caribbean and Central America. We firmly believe that we can expand this network and begin developing prospective client demand for MagneGas across multiple island economies in the Caribbean.”
“Acetylene pricing in many Caribbean markets is much higher than domestic price points due to added transportation and handling costs. It is our assessment that we can produce MagneGas locally in markets such as Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and the Bahamas at a fraction of the cost of acetylene, giving us a near-monopoly due to pricing power.”
“Lastly, our newly added sales executives have had success penetrating the industrial gas markets in several Central American markets, including Costa Rica and Guatemala. We believe we can further leverage this network in the coming quarters as we look to increase our international expansion efforts into Latin America,” concluded Mr. Mahoney.
