NewGen Announces Completion of Definitive Long-Term Biofuels Supply Agreement with Titan and APPCO
NewGen Technologies, Inc. ("NewGen”)
(OTCBB: NWGN) announced today that it and Titan Global Holdings, Inc. ("Titan”)
completed a definitive Biofuels Supply Agreement which will become
effective upon Titan’s acquisition of
Appalachian Oil Company ("APPCO”),
the closing of which is scheduled to occur on September 12, 2007.
Under the agreement with Titan, NewGen’s
wholly owned subsidiary, ReFuel America, Inc. ("ReFuel”),
will become the exclusive supplier of biofuels including
renewable and environmentally friendly ethanol and biodiesel products
for APPCO. The term of agreement is for a period of 10 years giving
NewGen the exclusive right to supply biofuel products to APPCO at the
prevailing market price for such biofuel products at the time an order
is placed. It is estimated that APPCO’s
requirements for biofuels will be substantial and will grow as the
company grows as well.
APPCO (www.goappco.com), formed in
1923 and based in Blountville, Tennessee, is a privately held petroleum
company that owns and operates an extensive fuel distribution network.
APPCO distributes petroleum products to more than 160 dealers in the
southeastern United States and owns and operates 56 convenient store
locations. APPCO has more than 550 employees and maintains long-standing
partnerships with strategic fuel terminal operators and major oil
companies.
S. Bruce Wunner, Chairman and CEO of NewGen stated, "APPCO's
diverse wholesale and retail fuel outlets and exceptional 84-year
history provides NewGen and ReFuel with an ideal platform for long-term
biofuel supply and further expansion of our biofuel distribution
opportunities. Given APPCO’s current
distribution of over 225 million gallons of fuel products per year, our
initial expected ethanol supply to APPCO should exceed 1 million gallons
a month and increase as they provide bio-blends to additional locations
and customers.”
James Peeples, SVP Business Development and Government Relations with
NewGen and President of NewGen’s Biofuels
division added, "It is fantastic to see the
distribution and use of ethanol and biodiesel blends expanding in
Tennessee, neighboring states, and across the Southeast instead of just
the Midwest. APPCO’s forward thinking enables
NewGen to launch its biofuels supply and distribution network across the
region with a reliable partner, allowing fuel marketers to meet their ‘renewable
fuel standard’ (RFS) obligations as of
September 1, and providing regulated federal and state vehicle fleets to
conform to the alternative fuel vehicle refueling requirements under the
Energy Policy Act. Our agreement with APPCO is a needed platform for
NewGen’s aggressive Field to the
Wheels™ biofuels program which will be
evident over the next several years.” "The access to these additional sources of
biofuels will help us lead APPCO’s markets in
the distribution of such products,” said
David Marks, Chairman of Titan Global Holdings. "Titan's
initiatives in the energy sector are consistent with Titan's unwavering
commitment to the creation of shareholder value. This agreement
leverages our financial and management strength with the biofuel
know-how of NewGen.” About NewGen Technologies, Inc.
NewGen’s strategic business plan will enable
the Company and its subsidiaries to become a leading global fully
integrated Fields-to-Wheels™
manufacturer, blender, supplier, and distributor of premium biofuels and
petroleum blends that dramatically reduce the environmental and economic
impacts of world transportation fuel consumption. NewGen believes it has
developed a slate of high-quality fuel products by utilizing
technologies that allow for more complete fuel combustion and reduced
emissions and the means to deliver them to the customer at the best
possible price.
The vision of NewGen and ReFuel America, NewGen’s
wholly-owned U.S. distribution subsidiary, is a world less dependent on
petroleum-based fuels, using secure, renewable, homegrown fuels which
better preserve our most important resources – the air we breathe and water we drink.
