Tornado Infrastructure Equipment Unveils New Products and Earns TSX Venture 50 Recognition

Calgary, Alberta, February 25, 2025 – Tornado Infrastructure Equipment Ltd. (TSX-V: TGH; OTCQX: TGHLF) has made a significant announcement, launching its highly anticipated EF4 Tornado Hydrovac and Coring Machine at the WWETT Show in Indianapolis, Indiana. This cutting-edge equipment is a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and excellence in the infrastructure equipment sector.

New Products Launch

The EF4 Tornado Hydrovac and Coring Machine represent a major milestone for Tornado, marking the culmination of extensive in-house design, engineering, and manufacturing efforts. These advanced products are designed to safely penetrate and cut soil to expose critical infrastructure for repair and installation without damage. Hydrovac excavation methods, which use high-pressure water and vacuum, are rapidly becoming the standard in North America due to their ability to minimize infrastructure damage and related fatalities in urban areas and around critical infrastructure.

TSX Venture 50 Recognition

Tornado's achievements extend beyond the launch of new products. The company has been honored to be named to the 2025 TSX Venture 50™, a prestigious recognition that highlights ten companies from each of five industry sectors based on market capitalization growth, share price appreciation, and trading volume. This accolade reflects Tornado's strong financial performance and disciplined growth strategy driven by engineering innovation, which has strengthened its market position and investor confidence.
