Airtrax: Assembly Agreement With TMF Inc.
HAMMONTON, N.J., Jan. 29, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Airtrax Inc. (OTCBB: AITX) announced today that it entered into an agreement in principle with TMF Inc., Canada, to assemble the ATX-Series Omni Directional forklifts at TMF's plant in New Brunswick. TMF intends to fabricate and assemble the unique ATX-Series in a 132,000-square-foot facility.
According to the agreement, TMF Inc. will pay Airtrax approximately $500,000 for existing inventory and as an investment in Company securities. TMF will complete upgrades to their facility to support assembly operations.
Airtrax CEO, Peter Amico, said, ``TMF Inc. will assemble the ATX-Series for North American sales. We expect assembly to commence in as little as 90 days. Airtrax has approximately 50 dealers throughout North America having more than 200 locations. Dealer agreements require the purchase of at least one forklift per territory to ensure exclusivity. The ATX-3000 sells for approximately $37,950. Airtrax believes dealer sales will reach or exceed the 500-unit goal for the 12-month period beginning when the first units are shipped.
``Besides the fact the ATX-Series forklift can travel in any direction at the operator's will, it's the most modern electrical vehicle in the world,'' Amico said. ``It uses all AC motors, and has no floor pedals, gear shifts, motor brushes or brake pedals. We're excited to show the user everything we don't have, because what we don't have can't break. This forklift will save the user huge maintenance dollars, space and time.''
TMF and its affiliates currently manufacture complex multi-purpose vehicles including the Snow Groomer 4000 through 5000 series. ``They provide Airtrax with unequaled quality and reliability for our production vehicles and customer satisfaction,'' said Amico.
TMF, an established New Brunswick firm, has its roots in snow grooming and multi-purpose tracked vehicles for several industry sectors including oil and gas, forestry and utilities. Donald Gauvin, TMF President said, ``The new Airtrax Omni-directional forklift will have a dramatic effect on warehouse and material handling operations. It has the potential to recover vast amounts of floor space now devoted to aisles or used as turnarounds. With the Canadian dollar at its all-time lowest level, consumers will find this product very inexpensive.''
