$STCC - Sterling Consolidated Updated Letter From the Chairman
NEPTUNE, N.J., May 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sterling Consolidated Corp. (OTCBB:STCC) (the "Company"
, a leading supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic seals to the automotive and industrial marketplace, wanted to thank its shareholders for the support they have provided to the Company as well as to review the last year of activity.
The Company continues to execute its expansion plan to take advantage of the fragmentation of the o-ring industry throughout the United States by acquiring other companies in the marketplace. Since going public last year, the Company has completed the acquisition of RG Sales, Inc. in Western Pennsylvania and Superior Seals, Inc. in North Carolina. These acquisitions have added nearly $1 million to its projected top-line revenue and have expanded its 1-day delivery capability to now include the entire eastern seaboard.
The Company continues to negotiate with additional acquisition targets and currently has issued a term sheet to a northeastern o-ring distributor. Additionally, the Company is in preliminary talks with 3 other potential targets and plans to aggressively pursue other opportunities.
As one of the few public companies in the industry, Sterling is uniquely positioned to be the leader in consolidating the large number of smaller o-ring distributors throughout the country. The Company's stock has become a currency that it is using to self-finance these acquisitions. Additionally, the Company will continue to raise expansion capital through sale of stock utilizing its SEC-approved Equity Credit Facility.
Since going public, the Company has achieved the following milestones:
Refinanced bank debt with a $1.25 million line of credit and $1.2 million mortgage
Increased employees from 19 to 28
Increased actual sales by 5.7% from 2012 to 2013
Added two sales and inventory locations
Expanded our production capabilities
Nearly doubled the rent roll for our real estate properties
We look forward to continued growth. Thank you again for your support.
Sincerely,
Angelo DeRosa
Chairman of the Board
