OUTLOOK
The Company continues to focus its efforts on expanding the present market for its products while introducing those products into new markets. As well the Company is seeking out new product to complement other wheel end safety products, Brake Safe®, Hub Alert® and Zafety Lug Lock®
Spectra Products Inc. is the only company in North America that provides one stop shopping for wheel end safety products in the transportation industry. Brake Safe® addresses the number one out of service violation in North America during road side inspections being brakes out of adjustment. Zafety Lug Lock® and Hub Alert® address the very serious wheel off situation of trucks and trailer losing a wheel and impacting another vehicle causing major damage or potentially causing fatalities.
The Company’s Brake Safe® product is well established in the Canadian market and as previously reported Spectra Products Inc. is executing its strategy to expand its Brake Safe® visual brake stroke indicator and diagnostic tool into the lucrative U.S. Transportation Industry. The brake violation issues are receiving a tremendous amount of attention from U.S. media as well as increased enforcement resulting in vehicles being put out of service and affecting Fleet safety records. This growing awareness is having a very positive impact on sales of Brake Safe® in the U.S. market.
The Company’s Termin-8r®product continues to receive strong industry acceptance with a corresponding growth in sales to the transportation segment. The second private label arrangement, introduced in 2010 for a major supplier to the commercial transport industry, is proving to be a strong performer with 2017 private label sales, by dollar amount, now being 81% of total Termin-8r®product sales compared to 71% of total sales during the same period in 2016.
