Blacksburg, VA, United States - Sep 8, 2011 - TORC Technologies is changing its corporate name to TORC Robotics effective immediately, the company announced today.

The company's ownership, employees, products and services have not changed. The name change is a simple evolution of the company's identity and better reflects the nature of its business. TORC is also transitioning the domain name of its website and email addresses to torcrobotics.com, with existing web pages and email addresses being forwarded to the new domain.

"TORC Technologies was the name we started with in 2005, with 'TORC' originally standing for Tele-Operated Robotic Controls. The company has far surpassed the name's original meaning, but we have built a strong brand and reputation around the name TORC," said David Cutter, the company's marketing manager. "'Technologies' was too vague for us and didn't communicate anything of value about our core business, particularly as we enter new markets. The company will continue to market itself, as it has for the last three years, as TORC."

For any questions regarding the company's name change, please contact marketing@torcrobotics.com.
