MM2 Group Establishes New Venture for Sofgel Manufacture in China

LIVINGSTON, N.J., Dec 07, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- MM2 Group, Inc. (MMGP) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Genotec Nutritionals, Inc., a New York based nutraceutical company which generates its sales from the distribution of its branded products and through custom formulations for several large strategic partners, has entered into a strategic venture to manufacture sofgel capsules in Zhongsan City, China.

The current capacity of the state of the art plant is 1.5 billion capsules per year. The plant was designed and built according to the latest cGMP requirements, in full compliance with both U.S. and China standards. The plant is capable of expanding capacity to 5 billion sofgel capsules per year.

Genotec's partner in this new venture is Anshi Pharmaceutical (Zhongsan) Inc. of China.

Anshi Pharmaceutical is a well regarded company in China. Its Executive Chairman, Mr. Xiaoxian Xu, is a famous entrepreneur in China who previously founded Livzon Pharmaceutical Group, a well known publicly-traded pharmaceutical company in China. Anshi is well positioned to provide research and development, manufacturing, and export services to the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries in the United States.

George Kontonotas, President of Genotec, stated, "We are very excited about this venture. The plant is a China SFDA certified facility that complies with cGMP manufacturing standards. These high standards, which allow the plant to currently manufacture pharmaceuticals, make this among the highest quality plants which can be found manufacturing products in the nutritional supplement marketplace."

Mark Meller, CEO of MM2 Group, commented, "We have already met with some of the largest users of sofgels in the nutritional supplement market. Our current focus is to supply large quantities of Vitamin E capsules to several users. We are now negotiating supply agreements with various companies, and hope to be in a position to make several exciting announcements in the near future regarding sales activity from this new venture."

Meller continued, "We are excited about our business prospects. We recently announced net income of $951,855 for our fiscal first quarter, up from a loss of $1,379,761 in the same period last year. We announced last week that we secured a large $1.1 million order for our omega-3 fish oil sofgels. We also recently announced a listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, which we expect will give us greater visibility in Europe and will provide us with an opportunity to broaden our shareholder base to Europe. We anticipate that we will be in a position to announce more exciting business developments in the near future."
