The merger would combine and integrate the synergistic technologies, Intellectual Property, products, revenues, engineering staffs, manufacturing operations, marketing, sales and services activities of both companies, including a new lab facility in the Philadelphia area. The focus of NovoFuel would be to pursue and capture backup and portable power applications and business opportunities in the U.S., Europe, and other market areas – multi-billion dollar markets
Meanwhile, pre-merger business development efforts of both companies are proceeding at a fast pace. In 2013 Genport already has booked over $1 million in revenues associated with its hybrid power products, including lightweight solar cell modules and lithium-ion battery pack modules for off-grid energy generation, and the GEN300 Hybrid Fuel Cell, which under NovoFuel will be integrated with the AlumiFuel Power hydrogen generation system. Genport has established a customer relationship with Arrow Europe, Autostrade Spa and ENEL Group, Italy’s largest power company, and a leading player in power and gas markets in 40 companies on four continents. ENEL is strongly committed to renewable energy sources, and ENEL Labs is sponsoring a $1 million competition, for which Genport has been selected as a finalist. At the same time, APTI continues to receive requests from many customers around the world for quotations regarding its PBIS (Portable Balloon Inflation System) products.
Capital raising efforts related to the prospective merger are continuing, and the parties are exploring options for conversion of NovoFuel into a new U.S. public entity at the appropriate time. Completion of this transaction is subject to further due diligence by the parties, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and any board of director and/or stockholder approvals that may be necessary.
AlumiFuel Power Technologies’ President & CEO, Mr. David Cade, and Genport’s CEO, Mr. Paolo Fracas, issued a joint statement: “We are more bullish than ever about the renewable energy technologies which will be embodied in NovoFuel, and the expansion of our target markets into other continents.”
