Alex Rankin, NAMC’s Chief Executive Officer of NAMC.OB stated, “The supply agreement for the Chicago Transit Authority’s Blue Line Project represents significant progress in confirming the value proposition of the company’s engineered composite ties for transit rail applications. We are pleased that TieTek’s engineered tie was the preferred choice over wood, concrete and steel alternatives for one of America’s leading transit operations. We look forward to working with the Chicago Transit Authority and its other selected suppliers to assure a successful project and a high performance transit rail system.”
