Key business highlights from the third quarter include:

  • Puradyn’s exclusive distributor for the oil and gas segment, NOW, Inc. (DNOW), continues to open new doors and secure new clients: 
    • The last of the largest contractors targeted in the land drilling segment began installing Puradyn systems on their fleet.
    • Puradyn was featured in a World Oil webinar that shared the success experienced by Legend Energy Services, who began testing Puradyn on their pressure pumping equipment earlier in the year and quickly proceeded to make Puradyn standard on their entire fleet after realizing such strong and immediate results. The webinar produced a number of leads that are currently being pursued by DNOW’s national sales team.
    • Continued growing interest and testing by clients in the midstream and pipeline segment
  • As previously announced, MNI Diesel, LLC became the exclusive distributor of Puradyn products to the commercial marine industry for the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys and areas along the U.S. Gulf Coast.  MNI has significant experience with selling, installing and monitoring the success of Puradyn systems on their clients’ vessels, making them a powerful advocate for the product line.
  • A large order bound for Afghanistan to be used on power generation systems was fulfilled.

Ed Vittoria, CEO, commented, “We are pleased to see revenue growth this quarter even surpass the record growth we experienced last quarter.  Demand for replacement filters has doubled as more installed systems become active, and we have seen sales of new systems increase over 65% so far this year versus this point last year, which will further drive filter demand going forward.  Our pipeline of new and engaged prospective customers continues to grow across the oil and gas and commercial marine segments, and we’re seeing improved receptivity in the sales process thanks to more customer testimonials and greater market penetration.”
