Hurricane Emily, currently a category 3 storm that has reached land near the US border with Mexico, has caused a delay in our planned 7/20/05 order shipments to Mexico and South Texas. Weather permitting, GFCI will ship Jet Motors to clients starting on Monday 7/25/05.
Once the initial fifty Jet Motor units are operational in the field, Grifco has plans for a subsequent round of production to meet multiple unit inquiries and commitments from Grifco International customers. Any information regarding orders will be released pending legal clearance from clients.
