Lakeport Metalcraft, a family owned business, is commercializing its first patented product, The Backbone™ for Reach Trucks.

As President of Lakeport, I have assumed a direct operational role.

The challenge is to find or create a market which generates a sufficient profit to make the venture worthwhile. We followed a disciplined process to execute on our plans. This included:

evaluating and refining the design to ensure compliance with ANSI standards for lift trucks,
securing protection of Intellectual Property,
establishing a robust supply chain and distribution network,
creating a marketing and sales strategy to produce the greatest revenue at the least cost.
