Trutankless, Inc. Provides Business Update
Company enters into 2020 with a strong customer base and resilient demand
(PHOENIX) April 24, 2020 - PHOENIX, /PRNewswire/ -- Trutankless, Inc. (OTCQB: TKLS) manufactures an award-winning line of WiFi enabled electric tankless water heaters which are an attractive option for American households to upgrade from traditional inefficient tank water heaters. The Company has reported significant sales growth over the last several years. Today, Trutankless, Inc. is providing a corporate update to the Company's partners, shareholders, and other stakeholders as the company realized several positive outcomes among various initiatives, such as:
Received a record $759,372 in purchase orders in the first quarter (unaudited).
Converted and reduced a credit facility from a shareholder to a long-term note, which allows for a more traditional financing.
Management signed with an investment banking firm to assist in funding a $3,000,000 convertible note offering to provide further capitalization for growth which is now underway.
During 2019, Trutankless expanded sales efforts and launched into the southeast Florida market which has garnered a tremendous response from plumbers and the trade.
Home Depot engaged management to offer Trutankless products through The Home Depot Pro, which is geared strictly towards trade professionals and licensed contractors, and we expect the first purchase orders in Q3.
In response to current market conditions the company’s sales force has quickly shifted its sales and marketing efforts to remote training sessions and will continue to migrate to online tools to onboard service professionals.
“We think the implementation of technology with our existing sales efforts will improve the effectiveness and increase the productivity of our sales team over the long term.” stated Michael Stebbins, President and CEO, of Trutankless, Inc. “We believe home maintenance services and suppliers will continue to be essential as will their vendors.”
In early February, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, supply-chain delays among manufacturing companies and their vendors in Asia ultimately slowed production schedules for many global brands. Delivery of Trutankless products during the quarter ending March 31st was impacted as well. We experienced delays due to global shipping slowdowns and product shipments have resumed, but continue to be impacted. Management is currently in the process of adding second source suppliers and have continued in the effort to work with North American companies, which we believe to be better suited to mitigate future global risks and supply chain disruptions.
The Company had a backlog at the end of the first quarter based on the record orders it received. Accordingly, our team has been working with our partners in the wholesale plumbing channel to ensure the best outcome by actively forecasting, sharing information, and helping to meet demand where it is needed most.
This release will be filed today by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to Form 8-K.
