(Nasdaq:HCCI) announced today that it has begun exploring entering the used lubricating oil re-refining business. Currently, the Company sells the used oil collected by its branches as fuel to electric utilities and asphalt plants. Entry into the used oil re-refining business would enable the Company to re-refine used oil into lubricating oil and capture the higher margins and profits associated with the higher value-added product. In connection with this initiative, the Company has hired Glenn Casbourne as Vice President of Engineering, and will spend up to $5 million on the initiative during the next year (which is expected to be capitalized).
Re-refining Risk Statement
HCCI's re-refining initiative is in the early stages of development. HCCI may decide to discontinue this initiative and HCCI could lose any investment that it makes in the development of a re-refinery. Even if HCCI completes the development of a re-refinery, HCCI may not achieve the results that it expects, which could cause HCCI's business and operating results to suffer.
