ROCHESTER, NY--(Marketwire - June 14, 2010) - Torvec, Inc. (
Rochester, N.Y.-based Across China (USA), Inc., and To The Point Consulting, LLC (which is a part of Flaum Management Company, Inc.), will use their decades of experience in U.S. multinational business and China joint ventures to help Torvec establish its presence in the Chinese automobile industry.
After nearly a year of exploration by Across China, that garnered positive interest in the IsoTorque Differential by the Chinese, the parties elected to create Torvec China. The newly formed Torvec China is aggressively seeking agreements with top Chinese automotive companies to establish prototype programs using its IsoTorque Differential. Ultimately, the company plans to secure original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreements with Chinese automakers for use in their new production models. Torvec also intends to maintain control of all manufacturing operations in Rochester.
"The auto industry in China is the fastest growing in the world and represents a tremendous opportunity for us," said Keith Gleasman, president and interim chief financial officer at Torvec. "IsoTorque is an evolution in differential design that offers unmatched performance and safety, and as more manufacturers from around the globe take notice, we anticipate that it will become a revolution overseas. At the same time, we are committed to keep manufacturing in Rochester so that our success will generate new job opportunities to spur our local economy."
The IsoTorque Differential allows for maximum traction without interfering with differentiation, resulting in improved vehicle performance, handling, and safety.
The creation of Torvec China is the company's latest initiative designed to grow awareness and sales for its IsoTorque Differential. Recently, Torvec announced plans to introduce the differential technology to the C5 and C6 Corvette and the 2010 Camaro aftermarket this fall and is sponsoring an IsoTorque-installed Corvette C5 in the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) racing series this summer. Torvec's Corvette C5 has won all three of the races it has run so far, with additional races (including the July 9 Double National at Watkins Glen) scheduled in anticipation of the SCCA National Championship runoffs later this year.
In addition, Torvec continues to work with U.S.-based automotive companies such as General Motors and Ford to enhance its position as a domestic OEM.
"Torvec is an innovation leader that recognizes the value of manufacturing in Rochester and I congratulate the company on this new venture to open up new markets for locally developed and manufactured products," said Congresswoman Louise Slaughter (NY-28). "Torvec is doing what Rochester businesses do best, which is being leaders in the fields and technologies that are changing the world for the better both here and abroad."
