Business Wire
SKYE International, Inc. (OTCBB: SKYI), developer and marketer
of next-generation tankless water heaters, announced today that it
has increased commercial production of�its FORTIS� whole-house
electric tankless water heaters. Having commenced commercial
production in October, 2008, Skye International has increased
production to approximately 1,000 units per month, representing
approximately 60% of the available production capacity in the
30,000 square foot contract manufacturing facility located in
Tempe, Arizona. The Company believes that by the end of the 2009,
FORTIS� water heater production should reach an annualized rate of
20,000 per year. The MSRP of the FORTIS� 120 has been set at
$1,899.
The Company's contract manufacturer utilizes a series of quality
standards and tests that exceed required testing under the UL 499
certification. All test data is captured and linked to each FORTIS�
unit produced, thereby providing the Company's service technicians
with valuable information to assist in field service and
troubleshooting. Additionally, the Company has also begun to stock
inventory at its remote 20,000 square foot logistics warehouse
location from which direct fulfillment and distribution is
undertaken to the Company�s growing customer base of plumbing
wholesale distributors.
�We believe we have developed the necessary sales, production
and distribution base from which to significantly grow revenue,�
said Perry D. Logan, SKYE International�s President. �Achieving our
production goals allows us to meet commitments to our growing
customer base, and with the demand for tankless water heaters
continuing to grow due to the increasing consumer awareness of
tankless technologies, as well as a renewed focus on energy
conservation, we believe Skye International is well positioned to
capture a significant share of this growing market.�
FORTIS� tankless electric saves the average household about 10%
to 40% of water heating costs when compared to conventional storage
tank based water heaters. With industry leading efficiencies�,
compact design, stainless steel construction and state-of-the-art
on-board diagnostics, the FORTIS� is the clear choice for the
discerning buyer. A 10 year limited warranty also gives you the
peace of mind that a Skye stands behind the quality it builds into
every product.
