res:"speaking of...."I may be wrong on this. The new expanded facility in the U.S.A. is aimed primarily at the BEI greatly improved heat sponge production, and, they aim to do or partly do their own production of the steam traps and fluace there as well.
IMO,the BEI improved heat sponge may become their #1 focus. Of course, it would be nice to see their 3 main lines of technology all increase together.
This new expanded facility will house an engineering team, and, perhaps sales as well.
Finnegan, I see the new U.S.A. as their main center of business from which TMG noted, "...(it) will be able to service the U.S. plus Canada and international thus cutting costs. This is within their entirely new business plan approach to doing business, "vertical integration".
So, I see a HQ move to the U.S.A. as beneficial to TMG's growth and development, especially to recover from world wide economic shocks and blows, and, I see it as alredy alluded to by current management. Just a matter of time, the right timing for.
Just my IMO/input.
