line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">At Titanium Industries, we work with many manufacturers, engineers and designers that use titanium in a wide variety of products and projects. Titanium is extremely tough yet lightweight, boasting the highest strength to weight ratio of any structural metal. It takes far less titanium to produce a structure that matches the same strength of other metals. If individual plates of the same weight were made from titanium, copper and stainless steel, the titanium plate would be double the size of the copper, and 75% larger than the stainless steel. Conversely you could buy half as much titanium to do the same job as copper, and slightly more than half as much to do the same job as stainless steel. </span></span></p>

margin-left:.25in;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The SR-71 &quot;Blackbird&quot; war plane was the first aircraft to use titanium extensively in its structure and skin. The aerodynamic friction that resulted from the intense speeds of which the aircraft was capable created so much aerodynamic friction that if any other metal was used, it would simply melt out of the sky. In fact, it was so fast, that if anyone fired a surface to air missile at it &ndash; the standard evasive procedure was to simply accelerate and outrun it! Holding the record of the fastest aircraft in the world for over 30 years, the Blackbird reached speeds of 3500km an hour, or three times the speed of sound. Today, about two thirds of all titanium metal produced is used in aircraft engines and frames. As an example, the A380 Aerobus uses approximately 70 tons of titanium for the aircraft structure and fittings. </span></span></p>

line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Titanium is one of the most biocompatible metals &#8211; the human body can handle it in large doses with no impact. In fact, it is estimated that we ingest around 0.8mg of titanium a day &ndash; most passes through us without being absorbed. Also, its density is very similar to human bone, which will readily adhere to it. These qualities make Titanium perfect for use in surgical implants, such as hip balls, sockets (joint replacements), heart stents and dental implants. Lasting in excess of 20 years with no effects, Titanium is a clear choice in the medical field. Its high strength to weight ratio also makes it the perfect choice for surgical instruments and other medical devices. Wheelchairs made from titanium provide the lightest weight, yet are very strong and children&rsquo;s wheelchairs can be made to grow as the child becomes older. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Titanium spontaneously forms a hard protective oxide film upon contact with any oxygen. It&rsquo;s this film that gives the metal its trademark shine and shimmer, with variations in the film&rsquo;s thickness affecting the color that the metal projects. It also has remarkable elasticity, making it the metal of choice for artistic and architectural structures.&nbsp; For instance, the 40 m (131 foot) memorial to Yuri Gagarin (the first man to travel in space) in Moscow, is made of titanium for the metal&#39;s attractive color and association with rocketry. The Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao is sheathed in titanium panels. It can also be used to help structural repair of historic buildings. Titanium was used as a part of the 2008 structural repair and stabilization for the Leaning tower of Pisa in Italy.</span></span></p>

mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">The high strength to weight ratio of Titanium makes it ideal for use in a wide range of sporting equipment. Titanium is a core material in the components of the world&#39;s lightest bicycle, which weighs only 6 lbs.! Considering an average adult bike weighs 30 lbs. and racing bikes weigh around 15 lbs., this bike is extremely lightweight thanks to its titanium structure.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span></span></p>

mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">Titanium is also naturally resistant to corrosion and erosion &ndash; making it a great choice for safety equipment. When the 6000 bolts that secured the daring climbing track in Ton Sai first started to erode, they were replaced with stainless steel. However the stainless steel replacements only lasted 9 months, after which they had a corrosion problem that would break the bolt on a simple body weight charge. Metallurgists discovered that the only metal the climbers could trust with their lives was titanium. An average of 2000 climbers use this track per week, and a group of keen climbers have started a charity to replace all the bolts with titanium along the entire length of the route. </span></p>

John Tien, Managing Director of Ti Industries Asia Inc.&rsquo;s Taiwan branch, said the presence of Zhu at the Shanghai office reflects the company&rsquo;s &ldquo;determination and enthusiasm to service its Chinese customers,&rdquo; which involves both local enterprise and foreign investment. Establishing the Shanghai office also demonstrates that Ti Industries is attuned to the evolving requirements of offshore companies seeking to do business in China. According to Tien, the Chinese market is now focused on &ldquo;high domestic demand&rdquo; rather than simply carrying the label of being &ldquo;cheap-labor intensive.&rdquo;&nbsp;</span></span></font></span></span><font face="Times New Roman"><font color="#000000"><font size="3"><o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Titanium Industries has implemented the metal service center software STRATIX from the metal industry software specialist Invera. This is Invera’s seventh implementation of the STRATIX ERP in the past fifteen months at a metal service center.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Rockaway, NJ (Vocus) June 11, 2010 &#8212; Titanium Industries, a titanium metal service center, has implemented the metal service center ERP software STRATIX from the metal industry software specialist Invera. The first phase of implementation included all seven locations in the U.S. (Rockaway, NJ, Wood Dale, IL, Brooklyn Heights, OH, Santa Fe Springs, CA, Jacksonville, FL, and Hillsboro, TX, and Tolland, CT). The implementation included sales, purchasing, receiving, inventory management, certification management, multistep production, delivery and logistics planning, invoicing, and financials.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Search for Quality</strong><br />
 As Titanium Industries’ business grew larger, more global, and more complex, they looked to Invera to provide a system that could accommodate their stringent quality and certification requirements, while enabling them to operate efficiently. TI found their solution in STRATIX. After completing their training, Titanium Industries implemented a full complement of STRATIX ERP metal software features, including Quote and Sales Order Entry, metal price book, water-jet plate cutting pricing, multi-step processing, shop floor production recording, and on-line shipment planning. A seamless integration of native metal industry terminology, functions, and features made STRATIX more user-friendly and easy to deploy with minimum implementation costs and no modifications.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Sales</strong><br />
 Titanium Industries selected STRATIX to improve the productivity of their sales staff through the use of specialized tools to quote and manage orders more rapidly and effectively. Titanium Industries enter Quotes on STRATIX, which automatically retrieves the metal selling price based on the Metal Price Book, and convert these Quotes into Sales Orders. The benefit of the price book is that the salesperson is provided with pricing guidelines, while the STRATIX Quotation function provides the estimated profitability of the quote. The Quote Entry function also provides stock availability, incoming material availability, sales history, and quantity bracket information, all in one screen, to help the salesperson quickly determine the final price. To take advantage of their large inventory at all locations, sales staff can see the stock availability in any TI warehouse location. This allows the salesperson to source the order from another company location as required. Bob Valerie, Project manager, adds, “A salesperson can easily enter a Sales Order with 20 items, and source the material from 4 different company warehouses. In addition, if that load is consolidated at a single company location before the material is shipped to the customer, STRATIX creates the transfer requirements</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">automatically. This saves a lot of time for the salesperson and makes it easier for us to service our customers.” For repeat business, TI use the STRATIX Customer Part Specification function, which allows a salesperson to enter the Quote or Sales Order using the customer’s part number. TI can pre-define comprehensive item information (such as product, processing, pricing, specs, certification requirements, etc.) and associate it to a Customer Part Number. When sales enter a quote/order item using a Customer’s Part Number, all the information automatically defaults. This allows for consistency, saves times, and reduces the chance of keying errors.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">TI also use the STRATIX plate cutting functions to meet their increasing water-jet plate cutting business. These functions make it easier and faster to enter quotes and orders as the salesperson can choose from a set of shapes, and STRATIX will calculate the estimated time of processing, cost, and charge for processing, and adjust the final price accordingly. Some of the shapes include rings, ring segments, circles, triangles, trapezes and rectangles. The function eliminates manual calculations and increases the accuracy of the price. Brett Paddock, President and Chief Executive Officer at Titanium Industries, added, “The STRATIX Order Status Desktop has been a tremendous asset to our business. It shows a clear and comprehensive status of the customer order in a single view. We can see where exactly the material is at each stage of processing, including outside processing, or transport planning and shipping. This is especially helpful since we record all production on the shop floor. Sales staff no longer need to hunt down orders and can respond to customer inquiries rapidly and with confidence.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">TI also process orders where titanium ingot is processed through multiple steps internally or at an outside processor and can include forging, heat treatment and saw cutting to produce a finished bar product. Bob adds, “For these types of orders, where the processing can take 16 weeks, the Order Status Desktop has been invaluable. At any point during fulfillment, our salesperson knows exactly where we stand with that order.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">TI also implemented INVEX/CRM, Invera’s Internet-based, fully integrated STRATIX Customer Relationship Management product. This enables sales managers and sales people to manage customer accounts on-line and offers task and activity management, marketing and sales analysis information which is tied to the live data base.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Certification</strong><br />
 Quality and Certification are an integral part of Titanium Industries operations. Meeting customer and industry certification and specifications requirements was a critical objective of implementing STRATIX. To this end, Titanium Industries implemented the STRATIX Metal Standards and Specifications features that enable material to be bought, inventoried, and sold to multiple ‘Metal Standards’ specifications. These Metal Standards represent industry-specific specifications such as ASTM, SAE, MIL, AISI, etc. As material is applied to orders, STRATIX verifies that the material applied meets the single or multiple metal standards requested by<br />
 the customer. This feature has added another layer of controls to guarantee Titanium Industries customers are being supplied with exactly what they ordered. To assist Sales in locating stock that meets a customer’s requirements, Sales can search stock that meets a certain Metal Standard specification. In addition, to eliminate manual comparisons of the actual results to the published standard specifications, the actual chemical and mechanical results recorded in STRATIX are automatically validated against each Metal Standard to which a product is certified. This provides an additional quality check.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To meet a customer’s need for original mill test certifications, Titanium Industries implemented STRATIXimage, a mill test certificate scanning and retrieval product that automatically emails or prints a copy of the original mill certificate or other third-party testing certificates at time of shipment. A salesperson can also view the certificate from the stock inquiry to ensure that the material meets the customer’s requirements.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Shop Floor Operations</strong><br />
 To further increase productivity, quality and order status information, Titanium Industries implemented the STRATIX shop floor production functions to record production in a real-time manner directly from work stations. Operations include picking, processing steps (such as sawing or water-jet cutting), and inspection steps. The warehouse personnel also record the set-up time, run, and tear-down time for each job. By comparing these results to the estimates computed by STRATIX, TI is able to determine their machine and processing efficiency. Bob Valerie indicated that by recording production and inspection directly on the shop<br />
 floor, they have ensured a higher level of quality, as STRATIX performs many checks at each stage to ensure the proper material is applied.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To complement the shop floor operations, TI are also printing the STRATIX bar coded tags at receiving and production. When combined with the STRATIX WiFi PDA function, the bar codes ensure that material is correctly identified.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To improve on-time delivery and load planning, TI implemented the STRATIX on-line Shipping Planning function. This function provides a comprehensive, multi-layer inquiry that summarizes orders by customer, delivery route, or shipping zone for better load consolidation. The shipping department can highlight orders and create a load with a single click. Bob Valerie adds, “This function has really streamlined our shipping process. For each item that must be shipped, we can see if the item is ready for shipment. It has also allowed us to better manage the transfers between our company locations.” Bob Valerie also adds, “Another area we really benefited from was how the STRATIX Metal enterprise software handles outside processing. The outside processing steps are fully integrated with the routing of the Sales Order; the creation of the outside processing Purchase Orders and transfer requirements is all automated, and the progression of these types of orders is also shown in the Order Status Desktop for sales.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Implementation<br />
 </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Titanium Industries was trained by the Invera consulting group who provided the TI Core Team with hands-on<br />
 experience. Simon Gereige, Senior Consultant at Invera, added, “Titanium saved a lot of time by using the STRATIX metal-specific and process specific end user documentation. TI was able to take the standard documentation we provide, add some additional instructions specific to their company policies, and then provide these to the users for the end user training.”</p>
