Kelso Technologies Inc.: Business Update


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and DOWNERS GROVE, ILLINOIS--(Marketwired - Feb. 19, 2015) - The Company reports that growth opportunities for Kelso (TSX:KLS)(NYSE MKT:KIQ) remain strong despite recent downturns in the crude oil industry and recent train derailments.

Demand for new tank cars from other sectors such as the chemical and fertilizer industries continue to keep our prospects for OEM growth in 2015 on schedule. This coupled with the demands of the new retrofit regulations from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the United States due on May 12, 2015 are expected to keep our internal budgets and expectations on target for the foreseeable future.

Going forward we have positioned the Company to capitalize on all demands for our rail tank car equipment. Our success has been fueled by our policy of building the quality of our business through fair trade practices; and the demonstrated merits and economic value of our products. We have serviced the industry's needs thoroughly and carefully which has led to the trust and confidence of regulators, customers and other stakeholders to meet their technology needs.

Our financial health and business capability remains very strong. We continue to develop our brand as a successful innovator and reliable supplier of the products required by the railroad industry. Our commercial products are performing well and our field trial initiatives for our new products are in the process of regulatory approval.

Although we have many challenges ahead, many of which are beyond our control, we remain optimistic about our position in the railroad industry and the prospects of our business development and financial performance.
