Summary of our focus and initiatives – A corporate update:
Titan’s initiatives revolve around the fundamental belief that success will come from
further penetrating its traditional markets and developing its products for additional
niche markets.
“New product design and development plays a critical role in our strategic plan”, stated
Les Evans, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan Logix Corp. “A good example
of this is our recent introduction of the first in a family of new guided wave radar
products for mobile applications in niche markets. Our plan is to release the Deice-
Stik™ (patent pending) in early fiscal 2009 (Sept. /Oct. 2008). We recognized the need
for a more accurate, cost-saving, spill preventing, and low-maintenance fluid
management solution for a particular segment of the aviation service industry. Deicing
and anti-icing fluid are typically applied from trucks onto an aircraft. There are high
costs and major time delays associated with faulty equipment. Titan’s Deice-Stik™ will
be the ideal solution for this specialized market”.
Titan Logix Corp.’s V.P. of Engineering and Business Development, Greg McGillis,
P.Eng, EE, adds, “Titan’s guided wave radar solutions will be superior to the technology
currently used in other niche markets as well. Our management team has made a
commitment to pursue these specialized markets in our growth strategy. We are
developing several new products to meet the needs of other niche markets in the mobile
tanker industry. We expect field trials for some of these products to begin in early fiscal
2009”.
Titan’s traditional markets, that saw a decline through the first half of this fiscal year, are
recovering to some extent. There is a rise in operating activity in the oil and gas
industry in Alberta. Titan’s efforts to expand into new markets in both Canada and the
U.S. are continuing.
