Matthew Flemming, Chief Executive Officer of SMGI, stated, “SMG’s activities and developments that occurred during 2017 generated significant year-over-year growth.

MG Cleaners built a solid reputation for its 13 branded products and its rig support services since its 2010 founding.” Mr. Flemming continued, “Currently SMG’s market benefits from an approximate 146% increase in the domestic drilling rig count when comparing May 2016 lows to the present day. The Company anticipates continued growth in 2018 including a favorable product sales margin mix and operating expenses reflective of current revenue trends. The rename to SMG Industries, Inc. is completed and management is now scheduling investor conferences and venues to appropriately get the company introduced further to investors. Currently, the Company anticipates 50% sequential growth with its first quarter 2018 revenues compared to the fourth quarter 2017 the result of expansion in the Permian Basin of West Texas and added service crews addressing additional customer demand.”
