GlyEco, Inc. Board of Directors Elects Joe Ioia as Director
GlyEco is a pioneer in the emerging glycol recycling market.
PHOENIX, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of GlyEco, Inc. GlyEco, Inc. (OTCQB: GLYE) today announced it has elected Joe Ioia as a Director of the Company, effective immediately.
Mr. Ioia is a leader in the emerging glycol recycling industry. He has a 40-year accomplished background in the petrochemicals and petroleum lubricants industries. Mr. Ioia founded the largest ExxonMobil Distributor in the Metro New York and New Jersey area for the past 25 years. At NY Terminals II, he revamped an aging and underachieving liquid bulk storage terminal into a modern, state-of-the-art facility commonly referred to as the "crown jewel" of the regions privately held terminals. He created and operates a separate transportation business that services both NY Terminals II customers, and clients in the petroleum lubricant and petrochemicals industry.
Mr. Ioia also founded Full Circle Manufacturing, one of the largest and most sophisticated glycol recycling facilities in North America. Under his leadership, the business has grown to over $4.3 Million in estimated revenues for 2012. The company is known for its success in recycling difficult to clean hazardous waste glycols created by the automotive services industry.
GlyEco completed an integrated agreement with Full Circle Manufacturing in December 2012. The company plans to run an unprecedented processing capacity run rate of 10 Million gallons per year at the Full Circle plant during 2013.
The company intends to leverage key components of this facility to drive its plan for exponential growth in the underserved glycol recycling market. That includes state-of-the-art computerized control systems, which enables mass production while controlling quality. The location is cost beneficial and the plant has exceptional transportation logistics, a key resource in glycol recycling. The facility also has over 3 million gallons of glycol storage capacity with space available for expansion of storage and processing capacities.
GlyEco is on schedule to integrate its groundbreaking GlyEco Technology™ during 2013. This technology improves recycled glycol quality to meet ASTM Type 1 standards – indistinguishable from refinery grade glycol.
GlyEco Technology™ opens the door for the company to expand services beyond the used engine coolant recycling market. Services can be offered to an additional four large industrial markets which create waste glycol. The majority of potential clients in these markets do not currently have the option of recycling this hazardous waste.
About GlyEco
GlyEco is a green chemistry company with a patent-pending technology for transforming a hazardous waste into green products. GlyEco Technology™ has the unique ability to clean the polluted glycols from all five waste producing industries: HVAC, Textiles, Automotive, Airline and Medical. This technology recycles waste glycol to meet ASTM Type 1 specifications – the same level of purity expected of refinery grade glycols.
This patent-pending technology enables our clients to handle the removal of their waste glycol in a responsible and environmentally safe manner. Our clients can treat glycols as a more sustainable resource, recycling and re-using waste glycols repeatedly. Since most polluted glycol is disposed of in our surface waters - which can have devastating results for aquatic life - the GlyEco Technology™ solution gives our customers a way to reduce waste while caring for the environment, and reducing their costs.
About Glycol Recycling
Recycling waste glycols presents an inventive solution to supply shortages and increasing costs for refinery-produced material. Global consumption for refinery produced ethylene glycol is over 5.5 Billion gallons per year and climbing. GlyEco Technology™ is uniquely able to process all five sources of waste glycols, opening new avenues of supply. With proper handling, glycols can be recycled and reused indefinitely, creating the opportunity to utilize this valuable material as a predominately sustainable resource.

Yes, that's a good read! Long ago, I was actively involved with selling cable TV private placements put together by a small brokerage and managed by McCaw Communications....Those were the days....
Yes, Potomac, I was around for that and remember it well. Fortunes were made by just buying some and putting it away and holding on.
This was last year but still a good read...
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=79075890
Reminds me of the cable TV industry when it was in its infancy...Mom and pop operators being gobbled up by companies through private placement offerings.
Seems like a great deal if you can get it. Sadly we cant.
8-K filing...
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/931799/000118518513000057/glyeco8k_2-011113.htm
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The Company has retained its placement agent and has initiated a new offering that contains terms that are materially different than the terms of the Company’s previous offering. The Company’s new offering (the “Offering”) is for a purchase price of $0.65 per Unit. Each Unit consists of (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of common stock of the Company from the date of issuance until the third anniversary of such date for a purchase price of $1.25 per share. The Offering will be made to accredited investors only, in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. The Offering commences on January 11, 2013, and will close on February 28, 2013 or at such later date as may be determined by the Company.
The information contained herein shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of the Company’s securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. The securities to be offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
The raise is .65 vs. .50 for the last one and so far the current price has been staying way above those which is a good sign, imo. In the long run it won't matter but at this point it would be better to see them raising money closer to where the stock is trading now. Time for another phone call...
I spoke with the owner of Evergreen recycling in Indianapolis and for what its worth he spoke highly of the acquisition and believes his growth prospects are strong. He doesn't know of anyone else who is consolidating profitable recyclers other than GlyEco. He plans on hiring more employees. However it appears from the 8k filed today that shareholder dilution continues. Any thoughts on the 8K? Will 2013 be a year of continued capital raising/shareholder dilution?
Okay, got it. I'm just riding what I have for now and plan on holding and won't hesitate to add at higher levels when warranted. So far so good...
Acquistions primarily, But anything that would be a positive for the company. Thanks.
What do you mean "what's next"?
Anyone know whats next for glye?

and continue to hold what I have and will add on any substantial dips IF it happens. I like the prospects of this company very much and have the patience to wait and act accordingly on any substantial developments...
This stock is like watching paint dry. I am not to worried about the lack of volume, But it is a little freaky. AS for the price, if I could hear a little encouraging news I would hit the buy button. Anybody hear anything?
Here is an extraordinary story; at the least it's one for you to ponder and track.
GlyEco (GLYE.OB) is well underway with its roll-up strategy acquiring profitable companies. Since February of this year they have acquired seven (7) companies (see Bloomberg article re the last acquisition). While the company is relatively new and undiscovered, management carried out 3 years of legwork in preparation for their official launch. They had the idea, developed their technology, researched the market, and developed the key business relationships and hit the ground running. (See the seven and the hyperlinks to the SEC 8-K docs below.)
There are Risks in Rollups
In the book BILLION DOLLAR LESSONS authors Paul Carrol and Chunka Mui postulate that, "about two-thirds of rollups fail to create value for investors"; and my several decades of investing experience suggest the same. The 'sudden' increase and complexity in dealing with the multiplication of 'moving parts' while orchestrating the benefits of centralization and integration of multiple and growing entities can be a formidable task. Questions re pricing power, the cost of capital and disparate regulator bodies to satisfy also multiplies to complicate the undertaking. In many cases much of senior management's time is spent in putting out fires and coordinating disparate activities; rollups are definitely not a sure thing.
The Business Model
GlyEco is devoting its energies to acquiring the near limitless quantities of the hazardous waste glycol ("feedstock") reclaimed from sources such as anti-freeze from the automotive industry, heating and air-conditioning systems, polyester fiber and plastic bottle manufacturing, aircraft de-icing, and medical sterilization. Then they process the feedstock (that is acquired at a cost of near zero), with their patented technology that returns it to its original 'virgin' quality and then sell it back into the market. Demand for glycol continues to exceed supply with exponential growth predicted.
Globally, over 5 billion gallons ($25 billion) of glycol is annually consumed in the sectors listed above, where North America currently consumes an estimated 1.1 billion gallons each year. The opportunity here is that a large amount of waste glycol is 'created' in the several uses of the petro based chemical; in North America about 700 million gallons of the waste glycol 'feedstock' are created while the rest of the world likely generates another billion gallons or more. Fundamental to the GLYE thesis is that the waste glycol 'feedstock' is acquired at an extremely low price; in some cases, as in Europe, 'you' can be paid to take it away. Moreover, what makes this deal resonate is that, after processing, the recycled glycol can be sold for at least as much as refinery-produced glycol-historically that's about one dollar more per gallon than gasoline. Hence the "too good to be true" consideration.
The average sale price of ethylene glycol in 2011 was approximately $5.69 per gallon, with a seven-year average sales price of about $4.57 per gallon.
GlyEco plans to increase processing capability in its New Jersey plant to 10 million gallons per year during the installation of its patent-pending GlyEco Technology™. Demand for high-quality recycled glycol product that meets ASTM standards far exceeds supply in every market segment.
Management Team Is Key
While most rollups don't fly, let's remember the story of one that did; $15.8 billion market-cap Waste Management (WM), and how it grew in seven years from $2 million in revenues to $14 billion through a series of acquisitions of smaller cartage / garbage / waste companies. The key is that GlyEco's acquisition strategy is being replicated and orchestrated by Waste Management's creator, John Lorenz. Certainly previous experience is not a guarantee of future success, however investing alongside Lorenz, GlyEco's CEO, who has 35-years of experience, coupled with a strong track record provides better leadership and knowhow than a person who has no experience at all.
GlyEco's management team is seasoned in the operational details of big-footprint commercial applications. The team is comprised of experts in solid waste management, mergers and acquisitions, chemical engineering, and glycol recycling.
The Technology
The patent-pending GlyEco recycling process is the only technology that can process and clean all five types of hazardous waste glycols to meet or exceed ASTM standards. Furthermore, the US Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] requires most federal agencies buy antifreeze with the highest recycled content level practical. Most agencies report a lack of supply to meet their demand.
Re Financial Risk
GlyEco has raised a total of $6.5 million to date. They have already closed on the first acquisition (Minnesota) and their 6 additional acquisitions are subject to further capital injections. Because of management's history of a major success on a very big stage I believe they will have minimal difficulties closing their current $5 million equity offering that will add additional dilution of 10 million shares. So fully diluted you're at 35 million shares. Importantly, this would put them into Type 1 glycol production and any future acquisitions could be made via cash flows.
New Targets in the Roll-Up Strategy
The company has further identified additional potential customers and developmental partners in North America, Europe, throughout Asia, Mexico, South America, India, and Australia.

The glycol waste data I use is compiled and verified by several sources including the U.S. government, reporting from each of the five industries, as well as distributors and customers, e.g. Dow Chemical (the world's largest producer), MEGlobal and SABIC within each industry. ICIS Chemical News is arguably the most reliable source for allocation breakdowns of global glycol distributions as it is the world's largest petro chemical information provider.
Revenue & Earnings Projections
Management's revenue/earnings snapshot paints an eyebrow raising picture.
· year one EPS are projected at $0.40 a share
· projected 2012 revenue is $6 million
· projected 2013 revenue is $48 million
· projected 2014 revenue is $73 million
Going Forward
With the above-mentioned markedly successful Waste Management roll-up as a model, I believe that GlyEco management complete additional acquisitions along the lines of the seven recently announced deals. In my opinion, revenues and profits would expand exponentially as the acquired assets upgrade to the GlyEco technology and that news flow will drive share price.
More Detail on Key Management
Mr. John Lorenz is a founder, the CEO and Chairman of the Board (19.3% shareholder) of GlyEco (GLYE). Mr. Lorenz founded Environmental Waste of America, Inc. in 1986, where he served as President and CEO between 1986 and 1997 until its merger with Envirofil, Inc. This is the public company which, through a series of mergers and acquisitions, morphed into Waste Management, Inc. NYSE with a market cap of $ 15.8 billion. Waste Management currently offers environmental services to nearly 20 million customers. Together with its competitor Republic Services, Inc., the companies handle over 50% of the municipal solid waste disposal and recycling in the US.

I posted this last week...
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=78625788
I will be calling the company soon and asking those questions, haven't had the time yet to do so...
Have you asked management what they estimate total share dilution will be in order to achieve their goals?
As in, at what point can cash flow fund acquisitions rather than selling shares.
I like the story, but am wary because a lot of acquisition spree companies ending up diluting too much.
I'm in this for the long term, too. As the story progresses I will add but for now I'm holding what I have. If GLYE takes a hit on price for any reason I will also add. For now things look pretty stable so we'll see what happens going forward. I do like the prospects very much...
Joby, I am in this for the story. Not what you would call an astute investor. It seems to me that you need money to make money so its not suprise that they will sell shares. With the total outstanding shares and the float so small I am not to conserned.What do you think about the 10k? and the future?

GlyEco Completes Agreement to Acquire Antifreeze Recycling, Inc.
June 13, 2012 08:11 ET
http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/glyeco-completes-agreement-to-acquire-antifreeze-recycling-inc-otcbb-glye-1668789.htm
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - Jun 13, 2012) - GlyEco, Inc. (OTCBB: GLYE) (OTCQB: GLYE) announced today it has completed a preliminary agreement to acquire certain assets of Antifreeze Recycling, Inc. located in Tea, SD. The transaction is scheduled to close July 31, 2012.
Antifreeze Recycling, Inc. is a privately held company founded in 1996 by owner Robert J. Kolhoff. The business provides waste glycol recycling services to the SE South Dakota region. Mr. Kolhoff is considered a pioneer in working with newly developed automotive and HVAC coolant blends.
The company actively services 390 waste glycol customers in SE South Dakota and is successfully expanding in their immediate region. The company has grown through strategically concentrating sales efforts on the small to medium business market while developing a reputation for customer care and product quality. Their proven track record of excellent service has drawn the attention of larger operations.
This is the seventh preliminary acquisition agreement GlyEco has announced in 2012.
"We are looking forward to welcoming Antifreeze Recycling to our team," said John Lorenz, GlyEco's Chairman and CEO. "Mr. Kolhoff has an in-depth understanding of the latest coolant blends used for building heat and cooling systems, as well as engine antifreeze. This expertise is a valuable addition to our operation."
The company plans to initially target the U.S. antifreeze market to market GlyEco Certified® recycled glycols. The four target markets within this group are vehicle manufacturers, vehicle service centers, branded bottle automotive antifreeze formulators, and government agencies. In the future, this could be expanded into international markets around the world.
GlyEco is a green chemistry company which transforms used glycols, a hazardous waste, into profitable green products. The Company's patent-pending technology recycles polluted glycols to a purity level equal to refinery-produced material. This unique process cleans polluted glycols from all five waste producing industries: HVAC, Textiles, Automotive, Airline and Medical. Global consumption for refinery produced ethylene glycol is over 5 Billion gallons per year.
The company is rapidly expanding operations by strategically acquiring assets of existing profitable recycling businesses. The Company believes each facility can increase market penetration exponentially when enabled to process additional types of waste glycol.
The management team is a collection of c-level managers from the solid waste, chemical engineering and glycol recycling industries. They have accomplished backgrounds in both the private and public sector, each bringing over 20 years experience in their field of expertise.
