Veltex Corporation Expects Revenues in Excess of $40 Million for 2004 and is Entering the $6 Billion Surf Apparel IndustryCITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Veltex
Corporation (Pink Sheets: VLXC) expects revenues for 2004 to be over $40
million with net profits of over $7 million or $3 a share. The company
currently has approximately 1.3 million shares in the float. Veltex plans on
becoming fully reporting and moving off the pink sheets to a major exchange
upon completion of its audits, which the company is currently undergoing.
Veltex Corporation plans to enter the $6 billion surf apparel industry.
Using similar business models as Roxy and Quicksilver, Veltex will create and
design apparel and accessories in order to establish itself in the surf
apparel marketplace. Javeed Matin, Chairman and CEO states, "Entering the
surf apparel industry offers great growth potential for Veltex. Even
capturing a small percentage of this $6 billion industry will significantly
impact our bottom line. We can offer customers a quality product at much
lower prices than our competitors."
Veltex also announces the expansion of its sales force. Vice President of
Sales and Marketing, Jordan Ross, expects to hire up to 50 new sales
representatives in the first quarter of 2005. The new sales representatives
will primarily focus on expanding Veltex's presence in the U.S. and making the
Company a major player in the promotional products industry.
Veltex expects its products will also be offered in major retail and
department stores in the first half of 2005. The Company will offer its own
brand name products as well as private label apparel and accessories. A new
product line is currently being created and designed to offer additional
options in this market.
"We look to continue growing the company at increasing rates. Next year
should be an excellent year for Veltex as we establish our presence in the
U.S. We are taking numerous steps to make Veltex a world class apparel
company," states Javeed Matin.
