  1. The Power Behind This Company’s Bright Future OTC : FLKI

    The decade-long campaign to reform and restructure the doctrine in auto care that maintained a macho theme for its product mix is over. The vision of this small company’s belief that women, with 50% ownership of all vehicles, and 80% of the contribution to the decision to acquire a vehicle has prevailed, jettisoning the company as a successful global player with its conceptions distributed throughout the world, under its own well known brand Clean Plus® or that of its competitors !

    The automobile after-market is about to enter a new and challenging stage, one in which the strengths and weaknesses of its key players are sure to be thrown into sharp relief.

    In November of this year, with one eye on the several presidential elections, and the other on the economic fiasco, and the need to buttress the weakening finances of its behemoth and smaller end-clients, Falken, traded under the symbol FLKI has continued its incessant concentrated effort to attract technological know-how, increasing distributor and retailer support and developing innovative solutions for its governmental, military and industrial end-users.

    While as a percentage FLKI’s investment in research and development is considerably higher than the declining average of the behemoth parents of its competitors, it represents a challenge for the automobile aftermarket-care sector and Falken’s management and several thousand strong shareholders base. Any cap on FLKI’s innovation and development, some believe, could hamper the company’s chances of raising the necessary investor interest needed to modernize still further its production capacities and meet the increasing needs of its global distribution network.

    The success of FLKI’s concerted effort to sustain a continued improvement on productivity within the context of a fixed price policy to its global distribution, throws the company in sharp relief with its competitors, notably in the current environment which the world’s economies are likely to continue for another five years. Still more, the company is generally unchallenged in its embrace and alone reflects the importance of being an industry front runner.

    For the last three years, FLKI has implemented an unprecedented program of investment and product development. The company has invested heavily in infrastructure, technology and services in efforts to improve the reliability of its existing distribution system – consigning to history disruptions in supply – and to connect production operations with its global distribution. During this period capacity has substantially increased with bottom line consequences as were evidenced in FLKI’s 3Q 2011 reporting (EPS .01, PPS .045). FLKI can now guaranty immediate supply, globally, in all but the most adverse conditions.

    In the process, FLKI has substantially increased its ability to enter new markets, and done so with no meaningful increase in debt or dilution Although the company policy of holding the line on prices to its distributors means that the top-line growth potential of FLKI are by definition limited, the decision is applauded by industry distributors with the result that the defection rate of its competitor’s distributors in its favor is occurring at a surprising rate. Management believes that growth will result in 2012 as a result of the integration of this business, which it termed “substantial”.

    Manuel Garcia, communications officer for FLKI during a telephone interview stated : “Management’s policy to hold prices and maintain margins as it has done through aggressive cost controls and efficiencies, while leaving us with almost no space to grow our income outside of competitor defections or acquisitions, brings welcome predictability to our distribution and into our business environment. Our customers will be able to grow their businesses with a generally positive intermediate term impact on our own.”

    Garcia added : “FLKI’s priorities for the coming years are to continue its focus on improved operational efficiencies, and to grow the business by creating a business environment loaded with incentives that will enhance profitability for existing distributors, and draw the interest of others to expand their lines to carry those of the company – in lieu or in addition.”

    Lastly the company, consistent with the shareholder meeting held early 2010 has retained consultants to address the issues of its underperforming stock and to overall its IR and shareholder awareness programs. It is expected that the long neglected stock will come to be recognized by the investment banking community at its potential value (some place enterprise value figures at 80 cents). Moreover this policy has already produced unintended consequences with a number of inquiries from potential partners seeking to make the most of FLKI’s technological experience and expertise. Joint ventures or outright acquisitions by FLKI are a distinct possibility.

    Garcia concluded with a smile : “It’s as simple as that.”

    There is little reason to suggest that Garcia’s confidence is misplaced.

  3. A Very Precise Balance In This Ensemble – The Brilliance Collection. OTC : FLKI

    Supporters of haute detailing answer that these automated and electronic systems are far from perfect, and do little to protect the vehicle – being far surpassed by high end products such as those conceived by FLKI.

    “New Technology” and “new materials” are in fact, nothing new at all. From the very first days of Chemical development including wet wipes, when the processes enjoyed a status akin to that of a scientific domain in vehicular maintenance and care, research and development has always been part of Falken Industries’ (FLKI) culture.

    At the heart of man’s relationship with his car is the essential paradox of striving for ever greater accuracy, reliability, and performance using principles that have remained unchanged for a century. Those who question the relevance of car care today cite the abundance of accurate and efficient mechanical and automated vehicular wash stations as a by-product of countless commonplace retail gas and centers. Supporters of haute detailing answer that these automated and electronic systems are far from perfect, and do little to protect the vehicle – being far surpassed by high end products such as those conceived by FLKI.

    While there is truth to each position, they are essentially specious arguments along the lines of the apocryphal medieval theological debate as to the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin (for a start, are these angels dancing the tango or waltzing?). The argument that the ubiquity of cheap, automated car washes has removed the need for high end consumer and professional products destined to car care is easily demolished by drawing parallels with, say, food : if it were simply a matter of calorie intake then mankind would neither eat truffles nor drink La Veuve.

    The conception of high end revolutionary products such as that practiced by FLKI is about much more than cleaning and maintenance; it is a cultural activity that combines both highly advanced scientific methods and centuries-old artisanal techniques to create products of wonder, that in terms of their physical presence and performance, are among the most valuable in the trade.

    So while the company’s behemoth competitors such as 3M (Meguiars), Clorox (Armor All®), and Honeywells (Holt®) may flaunt their parent’s avant-garde technical credentials with an almost wanton fashion, FLKI contents itself with just two words “Advanced Research”; words that have appeared oh-so discreetly on the packing cartons of some of the most unique and popular products to come out of its productions in recent years. They are words which appear to describe its best known product conceptions – the Clean Plus® Product Group, a brand at the very, very, cutting edge. It is in this product line that the new “Brilliance” collection makes its debut.

    This revolutionary assembly of components is the subject of a number of patent applications. But although its defining characteristic is the combined use of components that have made their appearance in FLKI products since 2005, “Brilliance” is really the latest episode in a series of technical developments that can be said to have started exactly 15 years ago when FLKI launched the Clean Plus® product conception, and notably its vehicular cleaning wipes targeting women and their cars.

    In anthropomorphic terms the balance achieved in the mixtures is sometimes referred to as the heart of the product. That comforting ease of application and brilliant result is so reassuring, so much more human, than the immobile and automated works of an electronic system. These products are a talking point, keeping the car personal, and its pleasures a reality.

    However, these monumental discoveries raise a set of entirely new problems, problems with which FLKI researchers have wrestled for the ensuing decade, trying to compensate for the effects of friction, changes in temperature, fluctuations in magnetism and external shocks on the metallic body and plastic or rubber guards. Over time incremental advances in component design and the adoption of temperature-resistant alloys were developed to overcome the problems.

    What makes the new Brilliance collection so important is that it combines innovative materials with radical design and new thinking to overcome decades old problems. When surveyed piecemeal the advantages are impressive. But when they are seen in the context of their own back-story, and when their remarkable physical properties of lightness and uniformity, and their resistance to magnetism, temperature, corrosion, and shocks are maximized through innovative design which was possible only by using revolutionary techniques, their impact upon the vehicular care industry – auto care – is almost incalculable. This is likely amongst the biggest breakthrough in “new technology” for this industry.

  4. SAY HELLO TO PENNY LAND
    PPJED price per share is set at 1.6 cents which means that 2 cents are pretty close, slap that ask and gain more

  5. Falken Industries (OTC : FLKI) Product conceptions won the coveted European Product Innovation Award out of 2.923 entries.. For 18 years, the jury, comprised of a group of international product design experts, considered criteria such as design quality, finish, choice of materials, degree of innovation, environmental impact, and functionality to determine the recipients of this year’s awards
    Falken which trades under symbol FLKI and is rated a Stong Buy, recently reported record 3Q 2011 earnings of 1 cent per share (currently trading at .0461).

  6. Falken Industries Ltd 3Q Reports Record Revenues for 3Q

    3Q Operating Profits Soared to $ 771,680, or 1 Cent Per Share, on Strong Global Product Demand – Resulting in Record Net Operating Profits.

    TRENTON, NEW JERSEY–(Marketwire – Nov. 7, 2011) – Falken Industries Ltd (OTCBB:FLKI)

    Operating Revenues for this international leader in the industry soared for the 3Q notwithstanding continuing heavy research and development and promotional support for a fast expanding global distribution network.
    “FLKI continues to buck the trend, refusing a policy of pass-along price increases and holds its uncontested leadership with retailers and distributors for important price stability” said Manuel Garcia, communications officer. Net operating margins have held firmly notwithstanding heavy promotional expense for all of 2011.
    Much of the reported success of the company lies with its noted procurement and purchasing efficiencies which have hedged its raw material cost up to three years, given it substantial cost advantages over its competitors.
    Sales are projected to increase by more than 20% for the 4Q bested by significant further increases in global market share because FLKI product concepts have been filling the voids created by over-priced and over extended competitors.

  7. Making the Most Of a Natural Talent OTC : FLKI

    While this little company’s offering has understandably seduced its markets, it hasn’t, preferring to operate out of the spotlight of its acquisition oriented and far larger competitors, yet managed to seduce “the” market – stock market that is.

    Falken Industries, known under the symbol FLKI is one of the little known industry leaders. It has a number of brands, but the best known of its conceptions is the Clean Plus® collection. Faken (FLKI) whose product conceptions include household names, operates in the chemical and wet-wipe industry. FLKI’s activities touch upon the consumer, the professional, and industry, going from formulated to liquid bulk.

    With a global distribution network, including key strategic Super Distributor Platforms and its renown Global Trade raw material procurement and hedging unit, FLKI, while small is a complex organization. Manuel Garcia, Communications Officer attributes the successful track record of the company which was launched in 1997 and has been publicly traded since 2006, to the company’s clarity of approach. “We believe in three things,” he says, “the first is that the customer is king. That is easy to say but we are genuinely passionate about this and spend a lot of time making sure this is part of our DNA. The second is that simplicity works; we try to provide a very simple organization across all our operations and relationships in order to keep the overhead to a minimum. The third,“ he continues, “is that our people and relationships are our greatest asset. To be successful, you need to get the best people you can and to keep on training and motivating.”

    The management tenets encapsulated in this philosophy would win approval in any MBA course.

    The opportunities and potential presented by the crisis commencing in 2008 has not been lost on the strategist in FLKI who have targeted industrial activities in real estate, heavy engineering, transport and box retail as well as the production of bio-fuel derivatives. The company announced on several occasion that it had decided to increase investments targeting the world’s needs in the future. “We recognize that growth is going to be huge in a number of the company’s sectors and are acting accordingly” said Garcia.

    It is a strategy the company believes that plays to the company’s core strengths giving it a big advantage. “We have also made huge investments in technology that is already significant in increasing our production yields” continued Garcia.

    The company expects sales to double in 2012 across all its business activities and there is apparently plenty more to come.

  8. FLKI is a great little company with all its ducks in order. It’s factory which I visited in August is recently expanded by 30 000 sq feet and running smoothly. It’s research and product development is high tech. As best I can tell you are – and if not – should be representing them. The company is trading at a small fraction of its real book value and has good management. You should highly recommend them.

    • angele, the run is going the wrong way.

  12. Help Desk is Now Friday’s Tips Desk

    As previously announced, Mina Mar Marketing Group is no longer offering long-term investor relations services to any OTC or OTCBB clients. We found that our services are best used in marketing where we come in as a short flight one or two day marketing campaign, and as a financial engineer for the Reverse Boost program. The new text is available on our corporate website (www.minamargroup.com) which details the services we offer.

    One of the very popular newsletters which we launched last year, Friday’s Tips, dealt particularly only with Mina Mar Group clients. We are extending this service to cover other companies, which will encompass our clients and those who are not our clients. We ask the followers of Friday’s Tips to submit any requests at http://www.minamargroup.net/helpdesk. We will use this service to compile FAQ questions on any companies that are traded on OTC markets. We will contact those companies, introduce ourselves, and act as a sleuth for these companies’ followers and shareholders. The answers will be provided in subsequent Friday’s Tips updates.

    • so does this mean that you no longer are helping fortune, oil and gas ?

  13. Michael Scott in IR said:

    “We are no longer representing LDSR as an IR firm. We are trying to assist them in setting up investor relations and paying old corporate fees to get them back on track.”

  14. Michael Scott, IR for EEGI said:

    “There is a chill on the stock that the company is trying to address. After this matter is cleared up, EEGI can start releasing financials.”
