IRIS-GROUP:
Iris Boutique Arrives in
South Florida
The Iris-group leads the fl ooring industry in innovative design
and technology research around the globe and consists of Iris
Ceramica and Fabbrica Marmi E Graniti (FMG). Currently, Iris
Ceramica exports its ceramic products to over 100 countries.
It is committed to producing high quality, avant-garde fl oor
and wall ceramics for residential, commercial, and industrial

Iris US, a new division of Iris Ceramica, was established in
December 2004 as an American division to deliver U.S. made
products to the fl ooring industry and to promote Iris-group
products throughout the nation. Iris U.S. is committed to

Aventura Mall (www.irisus.com).
Magnegas Corporation, a company based in Florida (Tampa area) has recently obtained approval to be quoted on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board (OTCBB:MNGA). This is an important milestone for Magnegas Corporation, an alternative fuel company, which has
recently obtained an exclusive license to manufacture Magnegas refi neries based on the patented Plasma Arc Flow system.
This system recycles sewage, sludge, manure and certain industrial and oil-based liquid wastes into a clean burning natural gas
alternative called Magnegas. The development of this cost competitive fuel is the result of the many years of hard work by the Italian-
American scientist Ruggero Santilli, a well known physicist and mathematician, formerly of Harvard University.
The Magnegas refi nery uses a patented electrical process to decompose the liquid waste molecules into atoms. Subsequently, the
atoms are recombined into Magnegas, a hydrogen based natural gas alternative which can power bi-fuel cars running on natural gas,
cooking grills, industrial equipments and homes. Magnegas is also an ideal metal cutting and welding fuel that is now initially sold in
the Tampa area and in Georgia. When used in bi-fuel cars the Magnegas exhaust has been independently certifi ed to surpass all E.P.A.
requirements without a catalytic converter, making it dramatically cleaner than fossil fuel (www.magnegas.com).
