It is about to launch a new product, the 'Energy Buster', a unique air conditioning unit which is capable of providing unprecedented levels of air conditioning using a minimal amount of electricity. The technology used in the Energy Buster is unique so Ahlia Co has patented it so that no competitors can enter the market for two years. The company's development costs have been high and it is expected that the product will only have a five-year life cycle.
