Peter Amico, Airtrax President and CEO, stated, "Proceeds will be used primarily to fund our recently acquired European operations of Filco GmbH, in addition to working capital. Located in Mulheim a.d. Ruhr, Germany, Filco GmbH is a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant that spans 235,000 sq. feet. We are excited to expand our U.S. production and marketing of the world's first commercial omni-directional forklift, the Sidewinder(TM) to this facility. In addition to domestic market penetration, we plan to market to Filco's existing dealership network overseas, and to import Filco's existing, standard lift trucks to the United States." About Airtrax, Inc. A U.S.-based developer of omni-directional technology, Airtrax designs and manufactures omni-directional vehicles. A patented wheel was designed and developed by Airtrax after receiving a technology transfer from the US Navy in the form of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). The Sidewinder (TM) Omni-Directional Lift Truck and the MEC-Airtrax Phoenix(TM) aerial work platform (AWP) are the first omni-directional vehicles using omni-directional technology and the patented Airtrax wheel to be commercially produced. Unlike any other lift truck, the Sidewinder or the Phoenix AWP can turn 360 degrees in its own footprint, allowing warehouses to utilize 20 to 30% more of existing space. The nearly maintenance-free design also drastically reduces maintenance costs, delivering tremendous cost efficiencies to companies both large and small. The omni-directional wheel is manufactured under exclusive production rights to Airtrax. For more information and to view a must-see product demonstration, visit http://www.airtrax.com.
