"We have emphasized the importance of expanding our regional footprint, and these results highlight the success of our strategy," commented CEO Ermanno Santilli.

Our main focus now is continuing to drive sales growth and unlocking the potential of our technology in the marketplace."
"We are pleased to report these results that we believe further validate our growth strategy," commented Scott Mahoney, CFO of MagneGas. "While a 42% year over year revenue growth is compelling, we are also beginning to benefit from the economies of scale. As such, we are rapidly heading towards sustained, profitable growth."
