IRVING, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 17, 2009 -- MP2 Technologies (MP2) (Other OTC:MPTO.PK - News) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Weatherly Aircraft Nevada, has reached an agreement with Agro Importer, CA to be its exclusive distributor for Venezuela. Agro, based in Caracas, is currently working with the Department of Agriculture of Venezuela for the supply of 15 new crop duster planes and Weatherly is a strong contender for this contract. Agro also has other private Agricultural Operators who have expressed a strong interest in the new Weatherly fuel injected radial engine model 620B.
Richard Corlin e, Weatherly's CEO, stated, "This is another milestone in implementing our international sales plan and we are delighted to have found such a strong partner. The cost advantage to our new customers in adopting the new fuel injected radial (piston) engine is considerable. In addition, the Weatherly allows for the use of alternative fuels such as ethanol which reduce operating costs and is better for the environment."
In an unrelated matter, the Company announced that it is working closely with the FAA to complete compliance for its new manufacturing operations in Bogalusa, LA. Following an on-site meeting with the FAA last week, Weatherly agreed to take certain remedial actions to reach total compliance prior to commencing full production.
