Worksport Signs Long Term Agreement with Customer for US Factory Product and Expects US$16,000,000 in Annual Sales, Marking Significant Growth and Demand at NY Factory
WEST SENECA, NY / ACN Newswire / September 19, 2023 / Worksport Ltd. (“Worksport” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:WKSP; WKSPW) announces it has secured a long-term supply agreement with an established, leading automotive aftermarket reseller in the U.S. Under this agreement, Worksport is on track to earn an estimated $16,000,000 USD in annual sales of its advanced hard-folding and soft-folding covers, from this single customer. While estimated sales of $16 Million USD are based on the customer’s forecast on an annualized basis, this estimate does not include the customer’s expectations of year-over-year growth in sales. The agreement resulted from samples that were provided to and approved by this customer previously. This significant step follows the recent start of manufacturing at Worksport’s Western New York-based facility after receiving a robust $1.6 million order for its hard-folding covers and an additional $720,000 order for the soft-folding versions, both from the same customer.
Aligned with this positive momentum and increase in demand, Worksport has outlined its strategic intentions to expand its manufacturing capabilities. The Company has announced initiatives to adopt robotics and automation in its processes, with plans to expand assembly lines from one to a formidable four.
Steven Rossi, CEO of Worksport, expressed with conviction, “Our eyes are set on growth, cash flow positivity, and earnings in the very near future, along with getting our high-quality product into the hands of pickup truck owners.”
Strengthening the Company’s position as cleantech innovators, Worksport is preparing to introduce the SOLIS solar cover, integrated with its pioneering COR battery system. Following the Company’s collaboration with Hyundai, numerous automotive manufacturers have expressed interest in the SOLIS cover, with discussions advancing currently.
Rossi further states, “Our journey, from enhancing our manufacturing capabilities to rolling out innovative products like the SOLIS solar cover and COR battery system, highlights the substantial strides we’ve taken. We’re optimistic about what the future holds.”

Hong Kong – FEHD orders Tuen Mun food factory to suspend business for 14 days
FEHD orders Tuen Mun food factory to suspend business for 14 days
*****************************************************************
The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a food factory in Tuen Mun to suspend business for 14 days, as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by extending the business area illegally.
The premises, located at Shop No. 154 on the ground floor of Yuet Wu Commercial Centre, Yuet Wu Villa, Tuen Mun, was ordered to suspend business from today (December 11) to December 24.
“In this May and September, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop. A total fine of $5,500 was levied by the court and 30 demerit points were registered against the licensee under the department’s demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in the 14-day licence suspension,” a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The licensee of the shop had a record of two convictions for the same offence last August and this April. A total fine of $6,500 was levied and 30 demerit points were also registered, leading to a licence suspension for seven days this August.
The spokesman reminded the licensees of food premises to comply with the FBR, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
Licensed food premises are required to exhibit a sign at a conspicuous place near the main entrance, indicating that the premises have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD’s website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/index.html).
Fujitsu Limited today announced the development and deployment of a factory-wide production status visualization system in cooperation with Ricoh Co., Ltd. Ricoh has started full-scale operations of the system in June 2021 at its Numazu Plant, which manufactures polymerized toner(1). The new system leverages Fujitsu’s plant visualization solution, FUJITSU Manufacturing Industry Solution COLMINA Intelligent Dashboard(2), to collect and process production information from Ricoh’s chemical plant in Numazu, Japan, offering a comprehensive view of the entire plant’s production status in real-time. Connecting the system with smartphones, tablets, and other devices makes it possible to visualize the status of plant operations and changes in product quality anytime and anywhere, empowering management with the ability to remotely manage factories and quickly intervene to prevent potential disruptions to smooth operations, including facility anomalies and quality defects. Going forward, Fujitsu will play an active role in supporting Ricoh’s plans to expand the system to other locations and will continue to support digital transformation (DX) initiatives at its various production sites. Background Ricoh’s Numazu Office serves as its base for research, development, and production of chemical products. The office carries out R&D and production of image forming supplies such as polymerized toner and ink, thermal products(3), and new business development for areas including next-generation solar cells and new materials. At the chemical plant, a large-scale facility producing polymerized toner, products flow through tanks, pipes, and processing equipment and the condition of the products cannot be confirmed from the outside. Instead, product condition is determined through information from facility sensors and sampling inspections. To enable a small number of on-site workers to safely manage and respond to information drawn from a massive number of facility sensors, it’s imperative to provide operation status reports from the plant quickly and intuitively to field workers to ensure safe operations and quality assurance. With COVID-19 preventing site managers from visiting sites at times, Ricoh has also been exploring new working styles for the “New Normal”. Under these circumstances, Ricoh and Fujitsu embarked on the joint development and deployment of a system for visualizing the entire plant’s production status in September 2020, which supports speedy and safe remote plant management, guided by the chemical plant’s theme of “Helping People Work Smarter”. Overview of the Factory-Wide Production Status Visualization System The new system realizes quick and intuitive management of the safety and quality status of the chemical plant in near real-time using Fujitsu’s factory visualization solution, COLMINA Intelligent Dashboard, processing, accumulating, and visualizing data for indicators to be managed, including operation information and logs, drawing from an enormous amount of data from sensors and production equipment in the plant. By connecting the system with smartphones and tablets, it is possible to visualize the operation status and changes in product quality at the factory anytime and anywhere even when the site manager cannot physically visit the production site. The system allows managers to work remotely to respond quickly to prevent disruptions to production and quality defects by making data-driven decisions and giving effective instructions to workers in the field. Future Plans Ricoh’s Numazu Plant will focus on higher-value-added operations by utilizing the factory-wide production status visualization system to reduce the administrative burden on site managers and workers. Ricoh is also planning to implement this system for visualizing the overall production status of plants to other locations as well. Fujitsu will continue to support DX initiatives at Ricoh’s production sites, while promoting DX, enhanced competitiveness, and contributions to the attainment of sustainability targets including the SDGs throughout the manufacturing industry as a whole, in keeping with its mission for its manufacturing brand, COLMINA: “Bringing innovation to manufacturing through the delivery of services that are global, open, and rapid that help to realize DX”. (1) Polymerized toner: Fujitsu’s Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 represent a set of common goals to be achieved worldwide by 2030. Fujitsu’s purpose — “to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation”–is a promise to contribute to the vision of a better future empowered by the SDGs. About Fujitsu Fujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services.
