Why TPAC ? Why Now !! I likey.
Toxic Debt Gone !
Took awhile but, Factory nearing completion in major growth market.
Navair, SAE, and DOD certified products.
TPAC Value proposition: Good ROI.
Bearings are a routine maintenance item. Better Technology, means a lower cost of operation. The life blood of the commercial industry.
For a bearing designed/selected for a given aerospace application, the whole life cost is equivalent to the sum of the following:
Initial cost/purchase price
+
Installation/commissioning costs
+
Energy costs
+
Operation cost
+
Maintenance cost (routine and planned)
+
Downtime costs
+
Environmental costs
+
Decommissioning/disposal costs.
While the initial purchase price of an advanced bearing solution will be higher than a standard bearing, the potential savings that can be achieved in the form of reduced assembly times, improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance costs, often more than outweigh the initial higher purchase price of the advanced bearing solution.
Adding value over life
The influence of an improved design in reducing whole life costs and adding value over life can be significant, as designed-in savings are often sustainable and permanent. For example, a 5% price reduction from a bearing supplier held at that reduced price over five years is not likely to last beyond that point. However, a 5% reduction in assembly time/cost, or a 5% reduction in maintenance costs over the same 5-year period is much more desirable for the customer. Sustained reductions over the life of the system or equipment are worth far more to the customer in terms of savings than a reduction in the initial purchase price of the bearings.
Long term growth
Overtime, lower quality bearings used today will be phased out with this technology. We are at the crossroads where this new technolgy will become the norm over the next few years. As this happens distributors all over the world we seek out suppliers for these bearings to replace their current product lines. This will drive down the cost per unit production and improve gross margins by the factory. We are learning that TPAC is pursuing Channel partners for the sales and marketing of these bearings.
Now is the time to become a stakeholder in TPAC.
