FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 13, 2021 / Twin Vee PowerCats, Co. (NASDAQ: VEEE), ("Twin Vee" or the "Company"), a manufacturer of recreational and commercial power catamaran boats, announced today that it has signed a land purchase agreement giving it the right to acquire a 14.5-acre parcel near the waterfront in Fort Pierce, Florida. The terms of the agreement grant Twin Vee a 60-day due diligence period that ends on December 6. The Company is then provided with 150 days to accomplish necessary site and zoning approvals before closing on the site. "What attracted me to the area was that we would have quick access to the water, which would be ideal for testing new boat models and providing demonstrations," explains Joseph Visconti, President and CEO of Twin Vee PowerCats Co. "Maverick Boat Co, Cobia Boats, Hewes Boats, Pathfinder Boats, and Pursuit Boats all have factories nearby as well. This area is considered by many to be the central location for boat building."

The 14.5-acre parcel of land would afford Twin Vee the necessary space to develop a 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility designed to meet Twin Vee's increased production capacity needs. "While our current facility is capable of increased production throughout 2022 and into 2023, we anticipate that Twin Vee will require additional production capacity as we develop new models for the market," said Visconti. "The demand for our product continues to strengthen, and an inflow of new dealer inquiries will necessitate that we increase the distribution footprint throughout the United States. We are continuing our plans to develop and build new boat models to meet the growing demand for our products, including, but not limited to, larger boats, Bay Cats, dual consoles, and electric boats."

Twin Vee has hired civil engineer Roderick J. Kennedy of Engineering Design & Construction, Inc. to conduct the due diligence necessary to determine if the parcel is suitable for the planned manufacturing facility. According to Visconti, the Company also engaged a commercial architect and a general contractor to fill out their project team. "We will be consulting with Ft. Pierce Planning Department officials in the coming weeks to discuss the parcel and any local approvals and permits required for its intended use." Twin Vee and its project team will also be meeting with development authority officials to explore any incentives offered by local and state government agencies. These incentives could help offset or incentivize the development of the Company's new factory and the potential subsequent addition of up to 200-300 skilled labor jobs for the community.

"If we can close on this deal and build a new facility designed from the ground up, we'll be better equipped to meet future demand from our dealers and customers by increasing our production capacity and streamlining our manufacturing process," states Visconti. "Finding the right piece of land that meets our needs is the first step. While we're encouraged by the deal we've negotiated, we will be working hard with Mr. Kennedy and the rest of our project team to confirm this particular piece of land is the right fit for us."
