ACAT Global Receives $33 Million L.A. Recovery Zone Bonds Allocation -- Creation of L.A. County Production Facility Begins in 2011

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 3, 2010

ACAT Global LLC, a leader in clean air technology for emissions control, has received approval from the County of Los Angeles for a $ 33 million allocation of Recovery Zone Bonds for use in creating a large production facility in Southern California.

ACAT Global manufactures and markets an advanced line of catalytic converter substrate cores made of stainless steel alloy foil. Utilizing patented technology and relying on unique and proprietary construction and assembly techniques, ACAT produces compact, lightweight and durable catalytic monoliths for pollution reduction in a wide range of combustion engine applications.

ACAT Global?s $ 33 million proposal was among eight approved by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors for Facility Bond allocations in the amount of $ 214.7 million. Los Angeles County received a total allocation of $ 271.5 million in Facility Bonds authorization, which under present law must be issued no later than Dec. 31, 2010.

Following a private-activity bond sale, upgrades to an existing manufacturing plant will begin in the first quarter of 2011, according to the company.

?We anticipate that in the first year after the new production facility comes online, we will create approximately 500 jobs in L.A. County,? said Leisa Cuddy, ACAT director of communications. ?And since we are a global company, this project will also have a positive economic impact across the nation and around the world.?

The selected site for the facility has been narrowed down to a few prime candidate locations in Los Angeles County, according to Cuddy.

?Right now, all we can say that the plant is in L.A. County in the recovery zone,? she said. ?We are considering a ?green? development, which for the time being has caused us to postpone making our final decision."

Recovery Zone Facility Bonds are a new type of tax-exempt private activity bond created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), passed by Congress in February 2009. As part of the Obama Administration's efforts to stimulate economic growth and jumpstart the availability of financing critical for economic recovery, the U.S. Treasury Department announced in 2009 the availability of $ 25 billion in bonds authority under the Recovery Zone Bonds program. The bonds may be used to finance certain kinds of business development activities in areas of significant economic distress. There is no federal subsidy with the facility bonds, which are tax-exempt and can be issued by the county and the funds loaned to private borrowers developing projects within the recovery zone.

In January 2010, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors designated the entire county as an economically-distressed ?recovery zone,? which paved the way for the board to issue hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bonds to fund an array of projects. In addition to $ 271.5 million in facility bonds, Los Angeles County?s allocation is nearly $ 181 million in economic development bonds.

About ACAT Global

ACAT Global LLC has a deep commitment to research and development, and is exploring partnership opportunities with various progressive companies to bring about industry-changing solutions to emissions challenges. ACAT?s patented technology capitalizes on aggressive emissions policies worldwide and in North America as set by both the EPA and the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

ACAT Global?s converter substrate technology was originally developed by Delphi Corp. and its former parent General Motors, from whom ACAT acquired all technology and full-scale manufacturing rights in 2009. GM/Delphi invested an estimated $ 475-$ 500 million during an 18-year period to bring the technology to the point of full commercialization. As such, components produced via the manufacturing processes acquired by ACAT have passed GM?s durability and efficiency protocols.

Facebook Contest Winner Patrick Franklin Receives a $500 4 Wheel Parts Promo Card

Compton, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2011

Congratulations to Patrick Franklin, the December 2010 winner of the 4 Wheel Parts Facebook Dream Upgrade Contest. 4 Wheels Parts, America?s largest supplier of aftermarket off-road parts for SUVs, trucks, and Jeeps, recently asked their Facebook fans to post photos of their vehicles, as well as their #1 upgrade wish and why they deserve to win. Patrick Franklin was chosen by random as the second winner and he received a $ 500 promo card to be used toward his dream upgrade.

On the 15th of each month starting in November 2010 and continuing through January, a winner will be randomly chosen and contacted. Then, the winner will be asked to write for the 4 Wheel Parts blog describing their vehicle, the upgrades, what they would do with the $ 500 promo card, and how it will improve their ride/life. Since the start of the contest on October 15th, 4 Wheel Parts has doubled their Facebook fans.

Patrick Franklin, who recently completed his fourth year in the United States Army and is currently a Captain, was the second of three winners of the $ 500 promo card contest on Facebook. Patrick was initially conflicted with the choice between purchasing a 4x4 or a convertible. Wisely, he chose a Jeep. Patrick states, "I love my Jeep because it's just fun; fun to drive, go off-roading, and fun to work on."

Patrick plans to use the $ 500 gift card to buy the parts he needs to install a Ford 8.8 rear axle. Patrick?s Jeep is already nicely modified with a 2.5" Skyjacker lift kit, 1" body lift kit, 33x10.5 BFG A/T tires, Kilby gas tank, skid plate, 63mm throttle body, HMMWV-style snorkel, Edelbrock headers, MagnaFlow catalytic converter and muffler, and the 4.7L Stroker engine that he built.

"I have been shopping from 4 Wheel Parts since I've owned the Jeep. I bought my Bestop Supertop and Upper Door Sliders, wheels, and tires online," said Patrick. In April 2010, Patrick attended the Truck & Jeep Fest event in Puyallup, Washington held by 4 Wheel Parts. While at this Truck & Jeep Fest event, he was able to find great deals, save money, and get the parts he needed to finish his 4.7L Stroker engine.

In 2011, from February to August, 4 Wheel Parts will present Truck & Jeep Fest events across the country, now including Hawaii. Truck & Jeep Fest is a free admission event and those attending can enjoy over 100,000 square feet of custom trucks and Jeeps on display. Manufacturers will be on site with over $ 100,000 in inventory and product demonstrations. Attendees can expect to find some of the lowest prices of the year with factory direct pricing, hourly promotional pricing, and up to 50% off installations. Some attendees will win free stuff with hourly giveaways.

4 Wheel Parts offers competitive pricing on all transfer case upgrades, shocks, steering stabilizers, winches, tonneau covers and other off-road parts. To get more information, call 877-474-4821 or visit 4WheelParts.com. To enter the Facebook Dream Upgrade Contest for a chance to win a $ 500 promo card, visit the 4 Wheel Parts Facebook fan page at facebook.com/4WheelParts.
