Members of Aero Exhaust's marketing department who attended the SEMA Show reported that regional warehouse distributors of automotive supply products articulated a strong interest in distributing Dr. Gas, Inc. products, specifically its piping and oval tubing products.

"At the SEMA Show, a number of regional warehouse distributors, including those with established relationships with Aero Exhaust to distribute our products, expressed a strong interest in carrying Dr. Gas products as soon as possible. It was apparent from the feedback we received at the show that there is widespread interest in the products of both Aero Exhaust and Dr. Gas in the automotive performance supply industry, and that the synergies between the two companies will provide significant opportunities for cross-marketing and promotion," stated Justin Andersen, warehouse sales manager for Aero Exhaust, Inc.

"The SEMA Show was a successful event, and we are now following up with the numerous distributors who visited the booth and look forward to entering into discussions with them related to the supply of Dr. Gas products, while we move forward with our expected acquisition of Dr. Gas and execute the integration strategy between the two companies. The automotive performance supply industry clearly understands the potential of Aero Exhaust and Dr. Gas working together, and we will take every opportunity to increase the profile of both companies under the banner of a single public company," commented Bryan Hunsaker, chief executive officer of Franchise Capital Corporation and Aero Exhaust, Inc.
