  7. $STCC enters into a LOI with R G Sales, Inc., a Pennsylvania based parts distributor
    NEPTUNE, N.J., Jan. 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sterling Consolidated Corp. (STCC) (the "Company"), a leading supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic seals to the automotive and industrial marketplace, today announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with R G Sales, Inc., a Pennsylvania based parts distributor that currently serves many industries, specifically the local underground mining and hydro-fracking market.

    Upon the closing of the acquisition, R G Sales' entire distribution business will become integrated into Sterling Consolidated's business and contribute directly to its top-line revenue stream. The transaction will be completed using only cash and no shares of Sterling Consolidated. The Company's recent bank financing of $2.425 million, secured during the fourth quarter of 2013, has allowed for the timely execution of this acquisition.

    Darren DeRosa, Chief Executive Officer of Sterling Consolidated, stated, "We are very excited to announce the pending acquisition of R G Sales, and look forward to expanding our business into the high-growth mining and fracking markets. R G Sales was profitable in 2012, generating close to $1 million in gross sales revenue over the course of the year. Along with the strong revenue contribution, RG Sales brings Sterling a loyal customer base and established regional distribution network."

    "This acquisition falls right in line with our strategy to continue expanding our footprint in the Northeast and will position us to grow our business organically. As this is a new market for Sterling Consolidated, we hope to leverage this opportunity and develop a strong distribution presence in the mining and hydro-fracking industries," concluded Mr. DeRosa.

  9. $STCC - Sterling Consolidated Acquires R.G. Sales Inc.
    NEPTUNE, N.J., April 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sterling Consolidated Corp. (OTCBB:STCC) (the "Company"), a leading supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic seals to the automotive and industrial marketplace, announces the acquisition of R.G. Sales Inc. West Alexander, PA. This is the Company's second acquisition as it continues its consolidation efforts.

    Due to R.G. Sales Inc. average revenue of $827,000, over the last 3 fiscal years, the company expects to add incremental revenue of $0.7-$0.8 million in the next year from this acquisition.

    R.G. Sales Inc. is a 20-year-old distributor of O-rings, retainer rings, lock nuts and springs to the oil and gas industry in western PA. The acquisition adds a strategic location to enhance the distribution network of Sterling Consolidated, which can now provide one day transit time from Maine to Florida and as far west as Illinois. The acquisition also provides the Company with additional expertise as management will remain for 2 years.

    Darren DeRosa, Chief Executive Officer of Sterling Consolidated, commented, "The expansion into western PA allows us to increase our market share in the oil and gas sector. Many of these seals are sourced locally and it is advantageous to have a local footprint. This additional revenue should also improve our profit margins."
    Mr. DeRosa further added, "We look forward to increasing shareholder value by continuing to execute our plan of strategic acquisitions."

  10. $STCC - Sterling Consolidated Updated Letter From the Chairman
    NEPTUNE, N.J., May 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sterling Consolidated Corp. (OTCBB:STCC) (the "Company"), a leading supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic seals to the automotive and industrial marketplace, wanted to thank its shareholders for the support they have provided to the Company as well as to review the last year of activity.
    The Company continues to execute its expansion plan to take advantage of the fragmentation of the o-ring industry throughout the United States by acquiring other companies in the marketplace. Since going public last year, the Company has completed the acquisition of RG Sales, Inc. in Western Pennsylvania and Superior Seals, Inc. in North Carolina. These acquisitions have added nearly $1 million to its projected top-line revenue and have expanded its 1-day delivery capability to now include the entire eastern seaboard.
    The Company continues to negotiate with additional acquisition targets and currently has issued a term sheet to a northeastern o-ring distributor. Additionally, the Company is in preliminary talks with 3 other potential targets and plans to aggressively pursue other opportunities.

    As one of the few public companies in the industry, Sterling is uniquely positioned to be the leader in consolidating the large number of smaller o-ring distributors throughout the country. The Company's stock has become a currency that it is using to self-finance these acquisitions. Additionally, the Company will continue to raise expansion capital through sale of stock utilizing its SEC-approved Equity Credit Facility.
    Since going public, the Company has achieved the following milestones:
    Refinanced bank debt with a $1.25 million line of credit and $1.2 million mortgage
    Increased employees from 19 to 28
    Increased actual sales by 5.7% from 2012 to 2013
    Added two sales and inventory locations
    Expanded our production capabilities
    Nearly doubled the rent roll for our real estate properties
    We look forward to continued growth. Thank you again for your support.
    Sincerely,
    Angelo DeRosa
    Chairman of the Board
