Tech Manufacturer TINITRON
“Best-kept Secret” until Fall, 2009
Hillsboro, Oregon – October 29, 2009,
TINITRON, Inc. was a top award winner for “Manufacturing
Company of the Year” at the 2009 Oregon Manufacturing Awards ceremony held
at the Portland Art Museum. Exhibiting a whopping 336% growth from 2006 to
2008, presenter & sponsor Jason Orme (partner with TKW) said “it’s no
wonder the company was named by Inc. Magazine as the 22nd
fastest growing manufacturing company in the United States.”
Featured
last month in the Oregonian and the Portland Business Journal, the Hillsboro Argus called Tinitron “one of
Hillsboro’s best kept secrets.” The Oregon-based firm was also featured on FOX News 10 when they announced the
ground-breaking for their new headquarters and manufacturing facility where they
plan to build hybrid cars like the “Neutron3” plug-in hybrid electric
vehicle (PHEV). Production of the car, first available in late 2010, will add
much-needed new jobs to Oregon’s economy in the coming years. Founder and
President, Tinny Srinivasan (shown here on left receiving award) designed and
drove his own electric car for four years in Portland and knows what it takes. In
“all-electric” mode, the “Neutron3” will have a 100-mile
range. In “hybrid-mode” you can go non-stop from Portland to San Francisco (>650
miles) without buying more diesel fuel. Tinitron has also developed alternate
fuel sources such as Jatropha oil. This abundant plant oil grows on wastelands
in arid climates and, since it’s a non-food, will not deplete the world’s food
supply!
