Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[rige]

According to Steipp, Liquidmetal is finally at the cusp of commercialisation, or words to that effect.

As you will recall in the third quarter of last year, we reached the necessary agreements to consolidate sales, marketing, engineering and manufacturing within a single location. In fourth quarter, we opened our manufacturing center of excellence and were for the first time able to show perspective customers, real parts being produced here in Rancho Santa Margarita. At that point, our fully integrated sales efforts began to take off.

Beyond this new momentum on the sales and marketing fronts, we continued our internal maturation of the manufacturing process with continued work on ISO 9001 where we now expect to have formal certification in the fourth quarter of this year

Just to recap, in 2010 through 2012, we - those were the foundation years of filling out our new engineering team and getting our nascent injection molding architecture to a state of commercial viability. 2013 was primarily about getting the new technology established with outside partners like Materion and Engel. 2014 was focused on getting our structure and business model right, turning the stage for a new sales and marketing launch towards scalable production in 2015 and beyond.

For the first time under Paul's skilled leadership, we have a solid trained MSR organization in place, along with an exceptional team of engineering and manufacturing talent to support his real time sales activities.
