2023 Commentary

"We are making investments in 2023 to capture the tremendous market opportunity over the long term for our CleanTech systems. This includes continuing to invest in sales and marketing to raise awareness of our products, while also innovating to stay ahead of the technology curve. With respect to the latter, we are working on a new laser cutting platform, the Titan FX, designed to meet the safety and efficiency needs for a specific aerospace customer. We believe this technology will also be relevant across our other industry verticals and more importantly, we believe we can enhance the safety and productivity of our CleanTech products with this technology as well, positioning us for long-term growth," concluded Tupuola.
