Cart Guys Inc. and Globalsoft Equipment join MAX dealer network as the Company expands distribution alongside active MAX 2 production and upcoming model launches
BRADENTON, Fla., March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recreatives Industries, Inc. (OTC: RECX) (“Recreatives” or the “Company”), manufacturer of the legendary MAX 6x6 Amphibious All-Terrain Vehicles, announces the addition of Cart Guys Inc., located in Gastonia, North Carolina, and Globalsoft Equipment in Rochester, New York, as authorized MAX ATV dealers.
Cart Guys Inc. represents the second new dealer added in 2026, following the recent onboarding of Globalsoft Equipment in Rochester, New York, operating as Global MAX ATV. With these additions, the Company’s U.S. dealer network has expanded to a total of nine locations.
The MAX brand historically supported a dealer network of more than 200 active locations across North America. Management believes this established footprint highlights the long-term scalability of the platform as the Company works to rebuild and expand its dealer network.
The Company continues to execute on its strategy of building a high-quality, geographically expanding dealer network, supporting growing demand across recreational, hunting, and commercial applications.
MAX ATVs are already being deployed in commercial environments, including use by aqua management companies and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, while continuing to serve a strong base of recreational and hunting customers. Management believes upcoming models, including the MAX 4 and Buffalo, will further expand the Company’s reach into utility, industrial, and commercial markets.
“Expanding our dealer network is a core priority as we continue building momentum behind the MAX brand,” said Andrew Lapp, CEO of Recreatives Industries. “Adding Cart Guys in North Carolina, along with Globalsoft Equipment in New York, strengthens our regional coverage and positions us to better serve customers across key markets.”
With MAX 2 production underway and additional models planned for summer 2026 introduction, the Company continues to align its dealer network with both current sales activity and upcoming product expansion.
During the week, the Company also received a truckload delivery of vehicle bodies to support continued MAX 2 production following the completion of its initial production run. In parallel, Recreatives Industries is converting the current MAX 4 and Buffalo molds into its 3D CAD system in preparation for initial production of next-generation vehicle bodies.
This expansion supports Recreatives Industries’ broader strategy of increasing market presence, improving customer access, and building a scalable distribution network aligned with both current production and future growth.

About Recreatives Industries, Inc.
RECREATIVES INDUSTRIES, INC. ("RECX") is the manufacturer of MAX amphibious six-wheel-drive (6x6) all-terrain vehicles (www.maxatvs.com), originally manufactured by Recreatives Industries Inc. of Buffalo, NY, from 1970 to 2013. RECX is continuing MAX's brand legacy of 53 years by relaunching the entire MAX ATV product line from existing, proven designs, which will ensure a rapid re-entry into the global ATV and UTV. Beyond traditional MAX ATV production, RECX plans to diversify its product line by introducing new vehicles and products to market in a compressed timeframe. The company's planned diversification includes larger eight-wheeled vehicles (8x8) as well as electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains to draw on recent advancements in battery and drive motor technology, which make fitment in smaller vehicles possible. RECX management believes that electric vehicles can ultimately offer performance that exceeds that of the traditional mechanical transmissions that most all-terrain vehicles employ.
