International News

Amano Pioneer Eclipse participated this past June in the Pulire show in Italy. The new PE33 scrubber, the Mongrel grinder, and the diamond pad offering generated quite a lot of interest. The versatility of both machines will make them an excellent investment for any contractor. The diamond pad offerings are a must and a cost effective solution to maintain any uncoated stone floor. Quite a number of Amano Pioneer Eclipse distributors visited us in Verona and we want to THANK each and everyone of you for spending quality time with us!  Hope to see you all again in Berlin or Chicago (see Section Upcoming Events).

Spotlight On

ECLIPSE BRASIL IMPORTACAO E
COMERCIO LTDA.
&
WESCLEAN EQUIPMENT & CLEANING SUPPLIES LTD. 

Last February we thanked all our distributors for allowing us to once again grow our International business in the 2008 fiscal year. We could not have achieved this sales growth without the efforts and contributions of our global distribution network.

We also gave special recognition to two companies like we do every year by means of the Award of Appreciation and the Award of Achievement for performance above and beyond expectations.

We like to put the spotlight on them one more time.

Eclipse Brasil Importaçao e Comércio Ltda was recognized with the Award of Achievement 2008. This Brazilian distributor grew their business with us more than 30% under difficult market circumstances.

Wesclean Equipment & Cleaning Supplies was recognized with the Award of Appreciation 2008. This Canadian distributor has been with us since the Middle Ages and together we have secured many accounts.

ONCE AGAIN – THANKS FOR YOUR LOYALTY, BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS!

Equipment Canada Sanitation Solutions in Ontario, Canada represented our product line with a very nice booth at the CSSA Annual Trade Show Can Clean 2009 this past April in Toronto.

We not only like to share a picture of the booth with you, but also a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ferris.

During the CSSA Canada Night, Jim was presented with the Sam Tughan Achievement Award. This award is presented by the industry every two years and is recognized as the highest honor in the sanitary supply industry in Canada. Mr. Ferris – it is your time to shine and we are proud of your achievements!
