HOP-ON's Shareholders Meeting on Expansion
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HOP-ON, INC. (OTC:HPNN - News) announced today that the Board of Directors selected Monday, May 21, 2007 as the date of the annual shareholders meeting. The meeting will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 2120 Main Street, Irvine, California at 8:00 a.m.
Mr. Peter Michaels, President of Hop-on, Inc., states, "There are new opportunities that we are focusing on and bringing to fruition. Like any technology industry, it's a race to market. I will demonstrate our new technology that will provide insight into our future profitable business ventures."
Hop-on is expanding to a new location in Gibraltar pending regulatory approvals. The Company has cut all unnecessary overhead. The Company has relocated its corporate offices to 222 Michelson, Suite #182, Irvine, CA 92614. The Texas R & D division was closed. The relocation and reduction in staff is expected to save the Company in excess of $1,000,000 per year. The Company will continue to work closely with their overseas manufacturers and utilize outsource engineers from China, Taiwan, India and Korea. Michaels stated, "To be competitive, we utilize the strength of our overseas partners along with Hop-on's creativeness and market knowledge." The Company still has presence in Mexico and India. Despite the fact that Hop-on, Inc. was in the red last year, the company still generated approximately $18 million in sales since 2005.
