Earlier today,
Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: OGES) announced plans to
commence a three-part, 90-minute TV business mini-series that will take a
closer look at the evolution of Oakridge from a true R&D company to the
only U.S. manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries. The biographical exposé, titled
‘Power Up America’, will feature award-winning television host Ken Evseroff,
who viewers may recognize from investment program ‘New To The Street’, touring
on location at Oakridge’s newly-completed 70,000-square-foot manufacturing
facility in Palm Bay, Florida. The first 30-minute episode is expected to air
in early June on FOX Business, with date and times yet to be announced.
“When I first met
with Steve Barber on our NYC film set and learned all he was doing, I thought
to myself this company has so much going on they need a whole TV show for
themselves,” Vince Caruso, president of FMW Media Works Corp., stated in
today’s news release. “Then my team visited OGES in Florida with Governor Rick
Scott. We shot a lot of footage and interview content, whereas our TV editors
expressed the difficulty of cutting out anything — it all makes sense and needs
to be shown.”
Over the past year
and a half, Oakridge, under the leadership of chief executive officer Steve
Barber, has significantly advanced its strategy of becoming a leader in the
global lithium-ion battery market. In 2015, the company focused on achieving
balance sheet liquidity, paying down all of its $2 million debt. Since then,
Oakridge has introduced a wide range of stored energy solutions – including its
Pro Series battery systems for golf cars and local area electric vehicles, its
Liberty Series motorcycle batteries, and its Patriot Series lithium-ion
batteries for professional unmanned aerial vehicle pilots and remote control
vehicle enthusiasts, among others. Leaning on the marketability of these
products, the company entered the second quarter of 2016 with an existing
pipeline of orders totaling $24 million.
Moving forward,
Oakridge is well-positioned to build on this strong start as it capitalizes on
its unique position as the only U.S. manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries.
More than 35 percent of global demand for lithium-ion batteries is attributed
to the U.S. market, divided across military, civilian and medical applications.
Oakridge leads the way across these applications with a commitment to
innovation and commercialization of top quality products. The company estimates
that its rechargeable power sources are the longest-lasting on the global
market, boasting a battery life up to three times greater than
foreign-manufactured counterparts.
