Company Targets Significant Revenue Surge in 2025 with High-Demand AL4 Cover Poised to Revolutionize the $4 Billion Tonneau Cover Market
West Seneca, New York, Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) (“Worksport” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors is thrilled to announce a targeted market release of its highly anticipated AL4 Premium Tonneau Cover on December 15th, 2024. The Company has already begun manufacturing production-ready samples for testing and customer evaluation. Engineering staff at the Company’s state-of-the-art factory are finalizing the custom production lines required to produce large volumes of the new AL4 tonneau cover. The Company believes this launch will boost sales channels, improve profit margins, and enhance brand penetration.
Strategic Impact on Revenue Growth
Worksport anticipates that the introduction of the AL4 cover will significantly impact revenue growth in 2025 and beyond. With the AL4 cover believed to be targeting the highest-volume category of all hard tonneau covers in the $4 billion market, the Company aims to aggressively capture market share. A sales forecast update is expected to be provided within Q4 2024 or early Q1 2025.
Initial offering will cover major brands including Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Ram, with the following truck applications:
- Chevrolet & GMC: Models for the GMC Canyon / Chevrolet Colorado / Chevrolet Silverado
- Ford: Ford Ranger and Ford Super Duty models.
- Ram: Ram 1500
In addition, Worksport’s R&D team is currently developing variations of the AL4 cover for additional truck models, such as those made by Toyota, Nissan, and Honda.
Accelerating Sales Growth with AL3 and AL4 Covers
Building on the success of its AL3 hard cover line, Worksport recently achieved $1 million in monthly sales. The Company believes it can increase sales to $1 million per week in the near- to mid-term. With its 156,000 square foot, New York State-supported factory, Worksport has the capacity to produce over $150 million worth of products per year, before expansion. If revenues surpass capacity, the Company will evaluate expansion opportunities as it seeks to operate in multiple multi-billion-dollar markets.
Upcoming Innovations: SOLIS, COR, and Terravis Energy
Worksport continues to push the boundaries of innovation:
- SOLIS Solar Cover and COR Portable Energy System: Currently in the Alpha release phase, these portable nano-grid systems are highly anticipated in the market and set to revolutionize off-grid power solutions.
- Terravis Energy's Heat Pump Technology: The Company's subsidiary, Terravis Energy, is developing a highly efficient heat pump technology. An update on this groundbreaking project is expected in the coming weeks.
Advantages of the AL4:
The AL4 cover will target the highest-volume category of all hard tonneau covers in the $4 billion tonneau cover market. Key advantages include:
- Aggressive Pricing: A manufacturing process that may allow for pricing below current market-leading covers.
- Distributor Interest: Ongoing discussions with key distribution partners have generated significant interest. Worksport's experienced sales team will continue to engage the 17,000 businesses in its database, offering quicker shipping times and enhanced service.
- Premium Positioning: With an anticipated Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) of $1,099, the AL4 cover will be Worksport's most premium offering ahead of market launch of its innovative SOLIS and COR systems.
