My visit to SVMI facility and tour on May 5, 2006. I was with Lawsson, as well as another friend of mine. My summary will add to what Lawsson has told you.
In my opinion everything went extremely well on my 2nd visit to SVMI Facility.
Everything that Mario said he was going to do a month ago was done or in the process of being worked on at the facility. Such as about 30 days ago in one large room it looked like there were about 10 ton of junk, well I was pleasantly surprised that the area was cleaned and had recently purchased new and used manufacturing equipment that was set in the room. There were two workers preparing the room to be painted (scrubbing down the walls).
I talked with Serge Monros during most of the time while we were there. He is the inventor of dyno valve and many other SVMI products that the company is going to market and manufacture.
At this facility SVMI has large rooms with equipment that will be used for production which should be up and running in 30-60 days with the manufacturing capability of up to 50,000 units per month. It seems like their current plan is to contract out manufacturing to larger manufacturing companies when their facility can no longer keep up with sales. It also seems like initially they intend to market the dyno valve pro to large trucking companies, shipping vessels, railroad companies, etc. I believe they have made contacts, had discussions, and reached understandings with specific companies. Of course I asked if the had a Letter of Intent, Memorandum of Understanding or a contract, however, they would not answer that question in fear of violating any federal regulations regarding news releases.
I believe their proposed plan is to provide major companies with the dyno valve pro equipment at no costs for the product or installation on a temporary basis (30-60 days) in exchange for their honest, open, non coerced testimonial on the dyno valve pro and dyno valve performance. As an example of one major California trucking company that spends 1.2 billion a year on diesel fuel, Serge estimated that the dyno valve pro could save that company 300 million a year in diesel fuel costs. ANOTHER BIG BENIFIT is that the oil savings will be close to the same because the Dyno Valve & Dyno Valve Pro seals the engine (blow-by tube return to motor to be recycled).
It is also my understanding that SVMI is planning on distributing 1000 dyno valve units for cars with the same requirement that they provide an honest, open, non coerced testimonial on the performance experienced by them. You cane see the pictures taken by Lawsson of the un-assembled 1000 car dyno valves they currently have ready to go, I believe they are waiting until the manufacturing plant is near or finished before they start distributing the dyno valve or dyno valve pro.
I was told that SVMI has 4-6 full time employees and 4-6 part times Employees, they stated that additional employees will be hired when the Manufacturing facility is fully operational.
The California Environmental Engineering testing facility (EPA recognized & CARB certified) is also located within the same facility. Serge stated that he has already received EPA APPROVAL for the DYNO VALVE under the name of Auto Tech E0372, the company of which SVMI emerged from, if you research this it should come under Serge Monros (mothers maiden name Monros), instead of Serge Vallve.
In my opinion Serge and Mario are very excited. They are also under Staffed. I am going to make a recommendation to Mario that they hire staff to help in marketing, PR, business planning, production, distribution, etc. Serge and Mario stated that they don't want to PR until they have the manufacturing plant up and running and units distributed to potential clients in order to obtain honest, open, non coerced testimonials. They don't want stock hyped on hot air but rather on proven testimonials and sales.
It is my opinion that they probably have been talking to large trucking companies, governmental agencies, shipping yards, railroad companies, and large vessel shipping companies on utilizing the dyno valve pro; for your information the dyno valve is small for automobile vehicles but the dyno pro larger and larger for trucks, trains, and ships.
It also seemed like they are working on numerous sales and marketing efforts that are probably in the works however, they would not say to conclusively one way or the other to us.
