Established in 2001, Traction Technologies Inc. has rapidly developed and brought to market crucial transportation improvement and safety technologies. The company is a spinoff of one of Canada’s leading forensic engineering firms, Forensic Dynamics Inc. Close association with Forensic Dynamic’s expert accident reconstruction analysts, has helped Traction Technologies develop products and procedures to reduce the number of vehicle crashes. In 2006 alone, Traction Technologies unveiled two revolutionary products: Cinch?, the ultimate winch, which uses air pressure to secure and maintain tension on load straps, and iCcold?, a temperature-sensitive disc that alerts motorists to potential icing, including deadly and nearly invisible “black ice.” Traction Technologies offers creative engineering resources, design support and product-specific sales and marketing support for its clients. The company was awarded first prize among 200 competitors in the 2005 Telus New Ventures Award contest. The designation is reserved for the company in British Columbia, Canada, that exhibits excellence in a variety of aspects from innovative product development to overall business model. Traction Technologies has its headquarters in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.
