Recreatives Industries (OTC: RECX) Appoints RICAN Off-Road as Exclusive Importer and Distributor for UK, Europe, Northern Ireland, and Falkland Islands

Partnership expands MAX Amphibious ATV distribution and dealer network across key European markets

Bradenton, Florida, USA — August 13, 2

025 — Recreatives Industries, Inc. (OTC: RECX) (“Recreatives” or the “Company”), manufacturer of MAX Amphibious 6×6 All-Terrain Vehicles (www.maxatvs.com), today announced it has entered into a formal agreement with UK-based RICAN ATV, which has established RICAN Off-Road to serve as the exclusive importer and distributor for MAX vehicles, parts, and accessories across the United Kingdom, Europe, Northern Ireland, and the Falkland Islands.

Discussions between Recreatives and RICAN began in 2024 regarding opportunities to expand into the UK and European markets. In February 2025, RICAN placed its first order of MAX 2 units to import to its UK headquarters and began the process of securing CE and UKCA certifications, which are required for sales throughout the UK and European Union.

Although RICAN Off-Road is a relatively new company, its team brings over 25 years of industry expertise through its well-established sister companies — Rican ATV Limited and R & I Platt. Rican ATV Limited is an authorized Honda ATV dealership serving the county of Yorkshire and is also an approved dealer for both Logic and Wessex brands of agricultural implements. R & I Platt, established more than 25 years ago, began as a farm diversification project and has since evolved into a comprehensive ATV business, providing underwriting, sales, repairs, and global export of ATVs. This depth of experience positions RICAN Off-Road to hit the ground running with the MAX brand across its territories.

Under the exclusive distribution agreement, RICAN Off-Road will establish and grow the MAX ATV dealer network in its territories, ensuring MAX vehicles, parts, and accessories are consistently stocked overseas. By leveraging RICAN’s market expertise and logistics infrastructure, the partnership is expected to accelerate RECX’s international sales growth.

RICAN Off-Road intends to increase its MAX ATV and parts inventory with two additional shipments scheduled for 2025, with a combined value exceeding $250,000. Both companies anticipate further expansion in 2026, particularly with the planned relaunch of the MAX 4 (four-passenger) and Buffalo Truck models, as featured at www.maxatvs.com.

Looking ahead, Recreatives Industries plans to launch its first-ever MAX Amphibious 8×8 by 2027, targeting larger industrial, commercial, and military markets in North America and abroad. This milestone will mark the Company’s entry into a new high-capacity segment of the amphibious vehicle industry.

“This agreement marks a significant step in our strategy to expand the MAX brand globally,” said Andrew Lapp, CEO and President of Recreatives Industries, Inc. “By partnering with a capable and committed distributor like RICAN Off-Road, we can better serve international markets and accelerate the growth of our dealer network.”
