PARADIGM SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES Engineering the Future ABOUT US Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. (PST) was established in 1995. Over the past decade the company has supplied clients with leading edge research, development, engineering, and consulting services, specializing in coatings and surface modifications. When PST opened its first office in Edmonton, the business objective was to penetrate the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical market (OGP).  By 2000, PST had achieved its initial objective and established a head office in Toronto, where the company began working with the US Department of Defense. Today, PST continues to service the Department’s growing need for unique and environmentally friendly coating technologies. With the development and application of its exclusive and environmentally friendly EPVD® technology, PST continues to service the US and Canadian Department of Defense in areas concerning the life extension of weapons systems. PST remains the preferred supplier for any organization seeking coating and engineering expertise. Government agencies, multi-national corporations and private interest groups have relied on PST for professional, industry leading and custom-built engineering solutions.  Working from its state-of-the-art facility in Toronto, PST employs a growing team of reputable and experienced professionals that successfully service our clients. FOUR CORE VALUES * Diligence: A promise to never compromise quality and always seek perfection * Innovation: An unprecedented commitment to always develop leading coating technologies * Teamwork: A team of industry professionals and clients always working together to achieve common goals * Professionalism: A pride for proper planning, seamless execution and always delivering exceptional results. OUR TEAM PST's dynamic and compelling corporate management and administrative staff are dedicated to the attainment of our clients' objectives and goals. The expansive and diverse backgrounds of our team of professionals allow us to implement unique and creative solutions for every client. PST not only employs a team of technical experts, we also have an ongoing working relationship with international consulting and engineering firms. Gennady Yumshtyk is the founder, President and CEO of PST. Petr Belomestnov is a Lead Senior Engineer at PST. Dmitri Ivanov is a Senior Process Engineer at PST. Vitaly Tsalko is a Process Engineer at PST. Igor Teniakov is a Design Engineer at PST. Alex Yumshtyk is a Design Engineer at PST. Eugene Yumshtyk is a QC Principal at PST. WHAT WE DO PST specializes in providing professional, industry leading and custom-built engineering and advanced material solutions for a variety of applications. Our state-of-the-art research and development facility is an integral part of our business. Our core technology was invented and developed by founder and CEO, Dr. Gennady Yumshtyk. PST’s proprietary Electro-magnetically enhanced Physical Vapor Deposition (EPVD®) process is one-of-a-kind. The company holds a number of international patents. PST produces the world’s first and only vacuum systems capable of bonding homogeneous materials to bore surfaces. Our process allows for the application of fully dense, well-adhered material structures to bore surfaces of cylindrical shapes. The EPVD® process is currently suitable for bore diameters ranging from 1/4 inch to 20 inches at lengths of up to 40 feet. The EPVD® process protects surfaces from in-service wear and deterioration. EPVD® allows the deposition of any desired materials, including alloys and multi-layered/multi-compositional recipes. Application rates with EPVD® are substantially accelerated, reaching levels of 3 mm per hour, a speed unachieved by any other vacuum-based technology in the world. Most importantly, the EPVD® process is environmentally friendly. The EPVD® process is a cost-effective process that is quickly replacing past coating methods. Our most important clients are, and will continue to be, government organizations and multi-national OGP corporations who require leading edge research, development and engineering services in the most critical areas of production. PST focuses on clients with the following requirements: - System Performance Improvement - Material Replacement - Operating Cost Savings PST is a project-oriented company. Each project can involve: - Technology Research, Development and Implementation - Material Study and Analysis - Technical and Engineering Design - Equipment Construction, Commissioning and Installation PST provides clients with superior service accompanied by state-of-the-art hardware capabilities. We implement a quality assurance and control program for all projects. All project information is tracked using an integrated database management system. Another important aspect of PST’s services is reassigning developed technical data-packages to our clients; these data-packages are to be used at their respective facilities as an essential part of their manufacturing procedure. Developed coating procedures are licensed and implemented as a sequential step in the overall production process replacing currently utilized techniques. AEROSPACE Wear and corrosion, in their different forms, are the two major and cost bearing side effects in today’s severe operating environment. Aerospace applications are no exception to this decree and a lot of effort is exhausted due to inability of the aerospace industry to comprehensively deal with these critical elements. Applications where existing material technologies are no longer capable of meeting ever increasing performance requirements provide the greatest opportunity for improvements via alternative solutions such as coatings. Improvement of conventional technologies and development of alternative coating techniques and materials has always been of great importance to PST. This is especially true for unique applications where traditional approaches have been already exhausted. The industry is in constant need of materials that will replace galvanic chrome and cadmium; as well as industrially sound technique to apply these new materials to critical internal surfaces of complex-shaped components. Developed and engineered exclusively by Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc., the EPVD™ technology has been exposed to vigorous testing and is currently being engineered for unique use on Landing Gear components of military aircrafts. PETROCHEMICAL The employment of high temperatures and a corrosive environment when processing ethane, nafta and other petrochemical products requires the use of specialized alloy materials compatible within the stringent operating conditions of erosion, oxidation and wear. Chemical reactions occurring on the inner diameter of the tubulars create an irreparable impact on the metal surface, damaging the material and thus, decreasing the production rates of petrochemical plants. The coating of these tubes introduces a significant performance increase. Engineered EPVD® coatings applied to the inner diameter of tubulars protect the exposed metal surfaces from high temperature and corrosion and increase the throughput of the installation, which transforms into a significant saving if applied industry-wide. The process forms high quality diffusion coatings of multiple materials and/or alloys for extreme chemical environments in upwards of 1200° C. DEFENSE PST has been providing its coating expertise to the defense industry by supplying environmentally safe and economically advantageous coating solutions for the improvement of weapons systems. While working in close collaboration with OEMs and end-users, PST is currently addressing two main areas for the defense industry: * Performance improvement of undercarriage components for military aircrafts * Life increase in medium and large caliber weapon systems
