TAMPA, Florida, December 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

MagneGas Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNGA) a leading clean technology company that counts among its inventions a patented process that converts renewable and waste liquids into MagneGas2® fuel, announced today that due to growing demand for MagneGas2® that has created a substantial backlog, the Company has signed a Letter of Intent to purchase 2,000 additional fuel cylinders.

The Company has aggressively worked to expand its distribution network and in-house sales and marketing programs.  As a result, the MagneGas2® fuel continues to gain market acceptance.  The Company has added a number of new customers and other large potential customers are in the testing or product procurement phase.  In addition, the Company's wholly owned welding gas and supply distributor, ESSI, Inc. has expanded geographically into three additional retail locations, creating increased demand for MagneGas2®.

"Our strategy of seeding the market through marquee customers and increased distribution has continued to expand our footprint and the demand for MagneGas2®.  Our factory now has a significant backlog of demand that prompted the purchase of additional cylinders. MagneGas2® has been used as a door opener to other welding gas and supply sales, so for every cylinder of MagneGas2® that is sold, we may see a multiple of that in other products sold," commented Ermanno Santilli, CEO of the Company.

"We are excited by the potential to rapidly expand and strengthen our customer relationships, becoming a complete solution for clients in the welding supply industry.  We look forward to seeing the impact of these new cylinders on revenue and new client acquisitions in the coming months as we continue to expand," concluded Mr. Santilli.
