Michel,An interesting point you make. If I can recap: * Brunswick/Inat has a multi-year Master Service Agreement to supply reuseable packaging & containers with the Leading Tier 1 Cdn. Automotive Parts Manufacturer (Magna?) & that INAT intends to use the TPF process to manufacture the stuff. * INAT claims that the new process enables the economical production (at a fraction of current costs) of large reinforced parts for the automotive industry such as bumpers, fenders, etc.( P.Release Feb.3 ) * We know that INAT has received orders from several large manufacturers for prototype runs using the new process. Could Magna be one of them? If there is significant cost savings involved it's probably a safe bet.Being next door they'd certainly be aware of it. I think that with the consolidating ( there's that word again) going on in the world automotive industry , any parts supplier that can bring costs savings to the manufacturers will end up with a bigger slice of the pie. So,it's in Magna's best interest to have a look at least. So, we end up with an interesting speculation. If the technology is as good as INAT claims they could license the process to Triam. Depending on the production capabilities of Triam's plant INAT could possibly manufacture certain parts for them as well. A stamp of approval from Magna would certainly make other manufacturers & the investment community take notice. It would be blue sky from there. So, those are my thoughts on Triam & INAT being in the same building. Coincidence ? Maybe, but a good move by INAT none the less. The AGM should be interesting. Wish I could be attending. Regards
