LATER KAT messages.yahoo.com Titan Announces Reduction in Staff PHOENIX, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Frank Keery, chief executive officer of Titan Motorcycle Co. of America (Nasdaq: TMOT), announced today a 17 percent reduction in force, primarily in the area of manufacturing. Keery indicated that the reduction in personnel, effective during the first quarter, results from a combination of seasonal factors, as well as major productivity improvements. "While our plans for year 2000 indicate a major increase in unit volume, plant-wide efficiencies and less labor intensity per unit indicate that fewer personnel will be required to meet our production goals," said Keery. Keery emphasized that the company's outlook for 2000 remains positive. "We have made excellent marketing strides in the United States and overseas, and we are confident that the manufacturing efficiencies we have achieved will serve us well as we expand Titan's market," Keery said. Founded in 1994, Titan Motorcycle Co. of America is a premier designer, manufacturer and distributor of high-end, American-made, V-twin engine motorcycles marketed under various Titan trademarks. Titan's unique, hand-built configurations, including the Gecko(TM), Roadrunner, Sidewinder and Phoenix represent the finest available in custom-designed, volume-produced, performance motorcycles.
