Fantuzzi
Fantuzzi was founded in 1939 by Medardo Fantuzzi, an automotive engineer, in Modena Italy. Medardo and his brother Gino Fantuzzi were involved in building the Maserati A6GCS, Maserati 350S and Maserati 200S during the 1940’s and 1950’s. Medardo went on to work for Ferrari until 1966, where he became known for building bespoke low-production performance cars including the Ferrari Tipo 156 “sharknose” Fantuzzi, additionally working for De Tomaso, Scuderia Serenissima, AMS and Techno, emblematic designs that are still cherished today.

Marazzi
Marazzi was founded by Carlo Marazzi and his two sons, Serafino and Mario in 1967, in Milan Italy. Marazzi first completed the Lamborghini 400GT 2+2 series, followed by a series of 125 Lamborghini Islero, and the first few of the Lamborghini Jarama. Then came the beautiful Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.

Officine Stampaggi Industriali
Officine Stampaggi Industriali (OSI) was founded in 1960, by Luigi Segre, former president of Carrozzeria Ghia, and Arrigo Olivetti from Fergat. OSI was based in Turin Italy and was a short-lived company that produced custom built vehicles based on Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Ford. Although production was short, OSI made a lasting impression in the automotive industry, renowned for the conception of the 1960 Innocenti 950 Spider and the Ford 20M TS Coupé, few of which are still around today.

Brewster & Co
Brewster & Company dates back to 1810, when James Brewster quickly formed a reputation as America’s premier carriage maker. Brewster then went on to work on automobiles, with the first being ahead of the times with an electric car based on a gas-powered Delaunay-Belleville chassis in 1905. The Company was well-recognised in America as a supreme coachbuilder for a variety of vehicles, with an on-off relationship with Rolls-Royce. Brewster & Co paved its way in the bespoke vehicle industry, winning numerous awards.

In connection with the Acquisition, EV Technology Group issued a total of 1,950,000 common shares of the Company (the “Payment Shares”) to Mr. Mark Stubbs, the shareholder of the Target, and to PrivCap Group LLC in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target.

Wouter Witvoet, CEO of EV Technology Group said, “The completion of this Acquisition brings four incredible brands into our strategic portfolio. The legendary brands of Officine Stampaggi Industriali, Fantuzzi, Marazzi and Brewster & Co will sit alongside the MOKE as we work to develop the future of the electric vehicle industry - defined by well-loved brands.”
