LadyBug Resource Group Acquires Controlling Interest in MAG International
02 November 2010 - 12:00AM
LadyBug Resource Group Inc. (OTCBB:LBRG) has acquired controlling
interest in MAG International, Inc. (MAG), a leader in gasoline and
electric mini-utility vehicles with $12.4 million in sales since
2008. Mag President, Eric Baron, has joined Ladybug as a director
and its new president.
MAG is a manufacturer and distributor of quality and
innovatively designed gasoline and electric mini-utility vehicles.
MAG's vehicles have an array of applications that can be seen
nationwide within various industries such as military bases,
government facilities, universities, paper mills, corporate
complexes, oil refineries, golf clubs and resorts. MAG's largest
customers include several divisions of the United States Federal
Government including the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army and the U.S.
Marines. Additionally, over the last four years, several hundred
MAG Trucks have been purchased by United States Prime Contractors
including Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) and Fluor Inc. for use by
the U.S. Military and are currently in service in the Middle
East.
Sales from inception grew to $19.8 million dollars by the end of
2009 with the largest growth occurring in 2008 when sales hit $9.3
million dollars. As the worldwide recession took hold, MAG
dramatically reduced inventory and cut costs during 2009, posting
sales of $3.1 million dollars by year-end. For 2010, the
Company has orders for $1.8 million but has experienced cash flow
problems and is arranging an expanded credit facility so that it
can ramp sales up to meet the demand by industry, government and
the military in the electric vehicle market.
Eric Baron, CEO and Founder of MAG, said, "MAG is extremely
excited about LadyBug's acquisition. MAG's strategic industry
placement positions us to capitalize on the booming electric
vehicle market, especially the Federal Government's multi-branch
effort to electrify portions of their vehicle fleets. We are
positioned at the right place at the right time with the right
products."
Craig Barton, COO of LadyBug, said, "Acquiring MAG is an
incredible opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the booming
alternative energy vehicle market. The Federal Government's
plan to transition portions of their gasoline mini-utility vehicles
to electric presents dynamic opportunities for LadyBug and
MAG. MAG is ahead of the game with their fully electric
mini-utility vehicles as well as their cost effective electric
retrofitting process, all using American made components and
batteries. This is the industry of the future and we are very
excited to be a part of it."
