Phoenix, Arizona USA, April 1, 2004 -  With overwhelming industry acceptance of the Gen-3 TLC Phoenix-600^®, TLC International is pleased to announce a strong gain in Q1'04 sales and production.  With the business expansion, additional workforce has been added. President Ernest K. Linden's son, Larry S. Linden sold his own business of 15 years and joined TLC in January 2004.  He has already become a vital part of TLC's Engineering Support/Service Team, with his most recent service trip being to Shanghai, China PR.

Larry graduated from Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, Arizona USA, in June 2001, with an earned Bachelor of Science degree. He continues studies of the Chinese language, and intends to pursue a doctorate degree in nanoscience.  Larry has quickly grasped the concepts of the science of cutting glass and other thin, flat substrates to close dimensional tolerance.  His experience in administration, operations, management, personnel, production, service, sales and training are welcome assets.
