Company Description
Ilustrato Pictures International Inc. (OTC: ILUS), commonly referred to as ILUS, is described in its public communications as a mergers and acquisitions company focused on acquiring and growing businesses in the public safety, industrial, defense, and renewable sectors. Although the company’s legacy name reflects origins in the motion picture and video production industry, recent disclosures consistently characterize ILUS as a diversified holding and acquisition platform rather than a traditional media production company.
According to multiple press releases, ILUS positions itself as a diversified holding company that builds a portfolio of operating businesses. It has highlighted activity in areas such as emergency response technologies, industrial services, and renewable or energy-related operations. The company trades on the OTC Markets under the symbol ILUS and has communicated ambitions related to uplisting certain subsidiaries, and potentially the parent company, to a national securities exchange.
Business Model and Portfolio Structure
ILUS describes its core business model as acquiring, restructuring, and scaling portfolio companies. Public statements emphasize a focus on sectors including public safety, industrial, defense, and renewable energy. ILUS has indicated that it manages a portfolio that includes both wholly owned subsidiaries and majority stakes in publicly traded entities.
In its communications, ILUS has referred to two key publicly listed subsidiaries in which it holds majority interests:
- Quality Industrial Corp. (QIND) – described as ILUS’ industrial subsidiary.
- Emergency Response Technologies Inc. (SAML) – described as its public safety or emergency response subsidiary.
ILUS has also discussed a broader portfolio strategy that includes additional businesses and assets, including exposure to companies in the renewable and energy sectors through transactions involving Fusion Fuel Green PLC (NASDAQ: HTOO). In one transaction, ILUS reported completing the sale of its subsidiary Quality Industrial to Fusion Fuel Green PLC, receiving a combination of ordinary and convertible preferred shares in Fusion Fuel as consideration.
Public Safety and Emergency Response Focus
Public disclosures describe emergency response and public safety as a central pillar of the ILUS strategy. ILUS has stated that it is merging several of its emergency response–focused companies into its subsidiary Samsara Luggage Inc. (OTC: SAML), which is being repositioned to function as Emergency Response Technologies (ERT). ERT is intended to serve as the group’s emergency response subsidiary.
Within this context, ILUS has highlighted activities such as:
- Developing and producing a Firebug product line at a facility in Jacksonville, Florida, with a focus on wildfire response, battery fire suppression, and public safety.
- Working on the E-Raptor EV range, where design work has been completed and production is planned in Serbia with partial assembly in the United States.
- Positioning ERT to serve fire, public safety, industrial, and related markets.
These disclosures indicate that ILUS views emergency response technologies and related equipment as a core strategic area, with ERT and SAML serving as key vehicles for that activity.
Industrial and Energy-Related Activities
ILUS has described its industrial activities primarily through its relationship with Quality Industrial Corp. (QIND), which it has referred to as its industrial subsidiary. QIND has been associated with industrial and energy-related operations, including a majority interest in Al Shola Gas, which ILUS has cited in connection with revenue and net income figures in its public statements. ILUS has also described QIND’s role in a broader energy and industrial services context through its transaction with Fusion Fuel Green PLC.
Following the stock purchase agreement with Fusion Fuel Green PLC, ILUS reported that Fusion Fuel acquired a majority stake in QIND, while ILUS received equity in Fusion Fuel. ILUS has characterized this as a transformative transaction, stating that it expects to hold a significant stake in Fusion Fuel on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, subject to shareholder approvals and listing application processes described in its press releases.
Defense and Autonomous Systems
In one of its announcements, ILUS reported signing a letter of intent to acquire a British company with manufacturing and assembly facilities in the United Arab Emirates. The target company is described as an integrated technology business that designs, develops, and manufactures advanced solutions using proprietary robotics and autonomous systems for defense and security sectors. According to ILUS, this company manufactures and supplies autonomous vehicles and defense and public safety solutions, with technology designed to meet NATO standards for land, water, and air operational requirements.
ILUS has characterized this potential acquisition as part of its broader strategy in the defense and public safety space, noting that the target has revenue-generating operations and a pipeline of orders, based on its own public statements.
Corporate Restructuring and Uplist Plans
ILUS has communicated an ongoing process of restructuring and consolidation across its portfolio. Public updates describe activities such as:
- Transitioning audits for ILUS and certain subsidiaries to a U.S.-based auditing firm.
- Managing restatements and consolidations of financial statements, particularly in connection with QIND.
- Relocating core operations to a central facility in Jacksonville, Florida, to streamline production and reduce costs.
The company has also discussed plans and intentions related to uplisting its subsidiaries and potentially the parent company to a national securities exchange. It has referenced strategies involving reverse mergers for QIND and SAML with national exchange–listed companies, and has mentioned potential registration statements and business combination agreements in its forward-looking communications. ILUS has also indicated that it is evaluating the filing of a Form S-1 registration statement and may submit a listing application to Nasdaq, while acknowledging that these steps involve regulatory review and are subject to conditions described in its own forward-looking statements.
Subsidiary and Asset Highlights
Across its communications, ILUS has highlighted several portfolio elements:
- Emergency Response Technologies (ERT) – positioned as a core pillar for fire, public safety, and industrial markets, with product lines such as Firebug and E-Raptor EV.
- Samsara Luggage Inc. (SAML) – an SEC-reporting OTC company in which ILUS acquired a controlling interest, being transitioned from luggage manufacturing toward public safety and emergency response activities and intended to function as a special purpose vehicle for ERT.
- Replay Solutions – described as a wholly owned subsidiary of ILUS Industries, focused on resource recovery and e-waste, with plans for e-waste processing in Serbia and potential expansion into other regions, as well as research and development related to tyre pyrolysis and recycling.
- Fusion Fuel Green PLC (HTOO) – an external entity in which ILUS reports holding a substantial equity position following the QIND transaction, providing ILUS with exposure to green hydrogen and industrial energy solutions as described in its press releases.
ILUS has also mentioned the concept of ILUS Industries as a platform for vertical growth and additional merger activity, including the positioning of ERT as a subsidiary under ILUS Industries.
Regulatory and Disclosure Considerations
In its public updates, ILUS has discussed the status of its financial disclosures and regulatory interactions. The company has stated that it consolidates multiple subsidiaries, including publicly traded companies, into its financial reporting, and that delays at the subsidiary level can affect the timing of ILUS’ own audits and filings. It has acknowledged delays in its audited financial statements and has described efforts to work with auditors and the SEC to address legacy comments on historical filings.
ILUS has cautioned that, due to overdue filings, its shares may be temporarily moved to the OTC Expert Market under OTC Markets rules, while indicating that it views any such move as procedural and has expressed an intention, in its own words, not to remain on the OTC Expert Market longer than necessary. These statements are presented by the company as part of its regulatory and uplisting narrative.
Shareholder Communication
ILUS frequently references shareholder communication channels and events in its press releases. It has announced and updated plans for shareholder meetings, including postponements and rescheduling to accommodate shareholder feedback. The company has also used podcast updates and written Q&A formats to provide overviews of business developments, strategic progress, and restructuring efforts across its portfolio companies.
According to its communications, ILUS emphasizes transparency and ongoing updates regarding audits, potential uplisting activities, acquisitions, and restructuring. Investors and interested parties are directed by the company to its stated communication channels for further information.
Position Within Its Sector
While ILUS’ historical classification references motion picture and video production, its more recent public disclosures consistently describe it as a holding and mergers and acquisitions company with a focus on public safety, industrial, defense, and renewable sectors. The company’s activities, as described in its own releases, span emergency response technologies, industrial and energy-related services, green hydrogen exposure through equity holdings, and resource recovery and e-waste operations. This combination places ILUS in a diversified role within the broader information and industrial ecosystem, with a stated emphasis on building a portfolio of operating businesses through acquisition and growth.
