KT PRO TOOLS

The new KT Pro facility is now open and operational to begin distribution of tools and service for the North American market. The first of two inventory shipments was received in mid July and the balance is being shipped in August.

KT Pro will be releasing the first edition of our new hand tool catalog in August and will feature our Patent Pending GRIPSTRIP technology for the 3/8, ½, ¾, and 1” sockets and sets. This innovative tool design will be a value adds to both the distributors and end-users. This full line catalog will feature additional innovations from our parent company, King Tony, and we will have a section dedicated to these specialty tools and accessories.

KT Pro is now an active member in several trade associations to support both our programs and the interests of the distribution community. STAFDA, ISA, AHMA, and the AAIA are just the beginning of the organizations we will be proactive with from this point forward. We have registered for the AAPEX 2007 Automotive show in Las Vegas and the STAFDA conference in Nashville this fall. This will be the first opportunity for the company to display products and debut our new show booth.

We have two new additions to our team to fill the position of Sales Manager and Warehouse Manager. Marsha Parmelee has accepted the position as our Sales Manager and has over twenty years of experience in the Industrial and Commercial supply industry in sales related positions. Arnold Gomez is our new Warehouse Manager and he brings a solid background in both operations and inventory management which will prove to be a valuable asset to our growth and customer satisfaction. The combined experience of these individuals will assure that the future challenges and growth expectations will be fulfilled, and our customers will have the confidence in our company to support their needs and provide a high level of customer service.
