Eastern Seaport Labour Disputes

Jul 22, 2010

Due in part to shipping delays caused by work actions in Montreal and Halifax, we are experiencing delays in replenishing our stock of critical thicknesses of our popular VPhoam (35) Black.  We are exploring alternate transportation options to relieve this situation but, in the meantime, we have another solution for anyone who can take advantage....

We are overstocked in various thicknesses of VPhoam (35) Flesh.  We are temporarily offering a 25% discount on existing stock of the following items:

VPhoam is a high quality foam in demand for padding or top covers.  The density is a consistent Shore "A" 35. While demand for VPhoam is constantly increasing, the demand for various colours does fluctuate over time.  Thus we currently find ourselves in an over stocked position. We encourage you to take advantage of this extraordinary offer today!

Varifit Orthotic System

May 28, 2010

Varifit Orthotic System   CAD/CAM made fast and easy

Vittoria Phoenix is proud to partner with Varifit Orthotics in the introduction of the Varifit Orthotic system in Canada.  The patented Varifit System uses unique scanning technology to capture a digital image of the foot.  The system will record a non weight bearing and a weight bearing image to aid in modifying the design prior to directing digital input to a fabricating unit.

The Varifit Orthotic System offers many advantages over other CAD/CAM systems.

  • No plaster casting or clean up;
  • Eliminates dirty, noisy milling machines;
  • Use materials of your choosing;
  • Scanners are transportable and multiple scanners can be pointed to a central fabricating unit over the internet;
  • The process, from scanning to fabrication, can take as little as 20 minutes per pair;
  • Competitive leasing plans are available;
  • Knowledgeable service is available in Canada through Varifit and Vittoria Phoenix.

A system has been installed in the Toronto area for demonstration purposes.  To book an appointment call (800) 563-1296 or e-mail Kerry Burnett at kerryb@orthoVP.comClick here to see more.

Jim Wilson retires...

Mar 1, 2010

For many years, Jim Wilson was the face of Vittoria Phoenix.  Working from his home in New Market, Jim was the friendly face who called on clients and welcomed attendees to our exhibit booth with a captivating smile, a hearty hand shake and an arresting "Congratulations."  Congratulations could be for anything from having gotten out of bed that morning to carrying the now famous Vittoria Phoenix cotton literature bag the right way - with the logo showing.  Though Jim has been less active at conferences since he and his wife, Anne Marie, relocated to Moncton, Jim is fondly remembered as that "older, white haired gentleman."  We wish you well in your retirement - you will always be a part of Vittoria Phoenix.

Norm Hood, President  March 1, 2010.
