Cross Border Sales Surge Between US/Canada; Lone Star Businesses Continue to find New Customers in Canada

Purolator USA offers cross border logistics expertise for businesses that ship between the United States and Canada. Sales between the two countries peaked during 2006 at almost $577 billion, with $23 billion in goods exchanged between Texas and Canada alone. This upward climb is expected to continue, as the Canadian dollar is expected to remain strong against its U.S. counterpart. Purolator USA has responded to the increased need for cross border logistics expertise by opening a new processing facility in Grapevine, TX.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 29, 2008 -- US businesses are increasingly looking to Canada to expand their customer base, and generally finding a receptive audience. Sales between the US and Canada peaked during 2006 at almost $577 billion, with $23 billion between Texas and Canada alone, and this upward climb is expected to continue. While the economic outlook for the U.S. economy remains tenuous, the comparative strength of the Canadian dollar has provided unexpected opportunities for smart U.S. businesses that can reach Canadian customers.

John T. Costanzo, president of Purolator USA, a leading expert in cross border transportation logistics, says that his company has seen an increase in business as a result of the increased amount of goods moving between Canada and Texas. "It seems that every business in Texas has its eye to the north, and as a result, the demand for good cross border logistics has really surged."

Texas' success in reaching the Canadian market was the subject of a news interview that Costanzo gave recently to KRLD NewsRadio in Dallas. During that interview, Costanzo discussed the tremendous increase in Texas/Canada cross border trade.

Canadian consumers have taken advantage of the comparatively strong Canadian loonie by ordering a record amount of goods over the Internet. While consumer spending is certainly a part of the growth in cross border activity, Costanzo says that the bulk of the increase is fueled by "great Texas manufacturers," who have found Canadian markets for their diverse products. "Unshaped plastics, chemicals, computers and motor vehicle parts alone account for almost $4.6 billion worth of goods sent from Texas to Canada."

Purolator USA recently responded to the increased need for cross border expertise by opening a new full-service processing facility in Grapevine. That facility, with its close proximity to DFW airport ensures the timely processing of shipments traveling either by air or via ground. Purolator USA offers transportation and logistics solutions for businesses that ship regularly between Canada and the United States. In addition, Purolator USA offers delivery options for small package and express shipments traveling within the United States.

SafeTec the makers of The X-Deck work platform successfully launched their nationwide infomercial on Memorial Day. The X-Deck has had phenomenal growth since its debut in 2002. Chris Seaman Jr, VP Sales SafeTec, said "We are very excited about the huge response we have had from The XDeck infomercial. I feel the public is really appreciating the value of our product."

Bardstown, Kentucky (PRWEB) May 28, 2008 -- SafeTec the makers of The X-Deck work platform successfully launched their national infomercial on Memorial Day. The XDeck is an award winning safety work platform that has won multiple awards for its unique design. The XDeck has become a favorite among Safety Directors in many industries. It not only improves performance but helps reduce injuries. With the new consumer models SafeTec hopes to reduce home injuries and give a safer work environment for all.

The XDeck is safer than a ladder and easier to use than scaffolding. The XDeck is portable, lightweight, has an anti-tip design, and sets up in seconds. The XDeck complies with OSHA, ANSA, and CSA International Standards. This small lightweight work platform is certified for 1,200 lbs (SWL of 300 lbs)

SafeTec has been actively marketing its Pro-Line series of the XDeck for several years and announced its intentions of launching a nationwide infomercial 6 months ago for its new lighter models. We developed this new line to allow the consumer or homeowner to get the benefits we have been offering to industry for years. These new models are aimed at the consumer and are small and lightweight enough for almost anyone to use. The X-Deck easily stores in a closet and is easy to transport.

SafeTec launched the infomercial on Memorial Day and has already seen results from its launch. When asked, Chris Seaman Jr, VP Sales SafeTec, said "We are very excited about the huge response we have had from the XDeck infomercial. We are already seeing the response in phone calls, internet queries, and orders."

These units come with several options. Handrails are unheard of with step-ladders but are offered on all the X-Decks. Consumers can also buy two types of work trays, hanging hooks and carrying straps. Two X-Decks can be connected by a SafeTec plank to give the user up to 16 continuous feet of work surface. This replaces small scaffolding and ladders with walk boards.

The infomercial is actively being run on cable channels nationwide including but not limited to the Discovery Channel, the Man Channel, the VS Channel, the Travel Channel, and several others. The infomercial has some afternoon slots as well as the standard late night spots that many infomercials currently are shown. The XDeck infomercial has been a huge hit from all its viewers even from its initial market research development stage.

Featured on the infomercial are the two XDeck models available for sale on the infomercial and online at TheXDeck.com, These models are the 3 Step and the 4 Step X-Deck's. Hosting the infomercial is Buzz Leer who has been seen on numerous home improvement shows including Home and Garden TV (HGTV). In the Infomercial, Chris Seaman Sr., the founder and President of SafeTec, explains the development and growth of this product line. He addresses the quality in workmanship and material that produces the strength in the platforms. Chris Sr. also lists the numerous Fortune 500 companies that are using this new innovative product.

Select Safety Sales Expands in Response to OSHA's Final Rule on Employer Paid PPE

Select Safety Sales expands both their administrative and safety departments to be ready for the final ruling by OSHA that has made employers responsible for the payment of all PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for their workers. This final rule on Employer Paid PPE is expected to drastically reduce occupational injuries in the industrial workplace and save millions of dollars related to medical expenses and lost time at work annually.

Clark, NJ (PRWEB) May 28, 2008 -- Select Safety Sales expands its customer service and safety departments to help its customers adhere to the final rule regarding employer paid PPE mandated by OSHA that went into effect May 15, 2008. The final rule will require employers in manufacturing, maritime and construction industries to pay for all PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required to be worn by their employees in the plant or on the jobsite. "Our expansion will allow us to offer our customers quality customer service and expertise in regards to their PPE purchasing" states Matthew Kane, Managing Member.

This final ruling on employer paid PPE was introduced back in November of 2007 and comes into effect now. OSHA requires that the payment for new and replacement PPE lies solely on the employer except in circumstances where an employee loses or intentionally damages the equipment. The employer is deemed responsible for their workers' safety and this step should further institute that employees have and wear adequate protection on the job. PPE consists of eye, hearing, fall, foot, hand and fall protection in an industrial setting. It is the hard hat that prevents a blow to the head, ear plugs that prevent hearing loss and safety vests for high visibility on dangerous highways along with other safety products that keep a workforce safe on the job. "It could become a job in itself for industrial companies to take care of the administrative portion of their PPE purchasing" says Kane. "With our expansion, we can help our customers choose their PPE for safety, comfort and cost efficiency"

Employers should be able to choose the most convenient method of payment when dealing with their suppliers. Some companies might find it easier to be set up on account making monthly payments whereas others might give their employees an allowance before or reimbursement after a purchase has been made. "For companies that use large amounts of PPE, this new rule can have an impact on the cash flow of a business along with the managerial time involved" advises Kane.

In an industrial setting,PPE(Personal Protective Equipment) will now be just another cost of doing business. A cost that, in the long run, enhances greater productivity in workers by saving lives and creating many useful years of labor. Allowing employees to be responsible for their own PPE could put a burden on some workers. This burden could cause these workers not to purchase PPE or to purchase lower quality PPE that does not offer the same level of protection. This new ruling will increase the amount of control that an employer has over both selection and maintenance of personal protective equipment which in turn will increase the overall effectiveness of their safety program and overall workplace safety. "I am happy to be able to provide products to my customers that not only ensure the productivity of their workforce but their safety as well" states Matthew Kane.

Highest Levels Of Brand Preference And Awareness, Product Authenticity, Bottom Line Results, Customer Oriented Corporate Philosophies, Bring Inpro/Seal Record Breaking Results

Inpro/Seal Company, the world's largest producer of industrial bearing isolators, reports that for the month of April 2008, the company shipped an all time record of 49,837 seals. This news follows on the heels of a record breaking 2007 calendar year and a first quarter 2008 that also broke all sales records.

Rock Island, IL (PRWEB) May 28, 2008 -- Inpro/Seal Company, the world's largest producer of industrial bearing isolators, reports that for the month of April 2008, the company shipped an all time record of 49,837 seals. This news follows on the heels of a record breaking 2007 calendar year and a first quarter 2008 that also broke all sales records.

Forward Looking
Once considered to be a novelty and seldom understood by the industrial community, the Inpro/Seal has now been enthusiastically accepted by the users and is a standard component in process pumps and electric motors all around the world. To understand how this evolved, some background is in order.

The Product
In 1977, David C. Orlowski received patent #4,022,479 on his bearing isolator, founding Inpro/Seal Company shortly afterward. A non-contacting type labyrinth seal, the Inpro/Seal bearing isolator never wears out and can be used over and over for many years. Protected bearings have proven to run 150,000 hours (17 years) and more, eliminating the need for costly maintenance and repair.

Today, the company operates under stringent ISO 9001 conditions, in the world's largest facility devoted to bearing isolation technology, the company manufactures an average 45,000 units per month. Realizing the product falls into a "Best Maintenance Practice" category, most of the Fortune 500 companies in the process industries and over half of the world's industrial companies use authentic Inpro/Seal products in critical maintenance roles.

Dynamics
To attain this kind of extraordinary success, a number of factors and certain dynamics come into play. At the top of the list is the fact that Inpro/Seal Company is a results oriented, marketing driven organization that has invested heavily in an "educate and inform" philosophy. As such, more and more end users understand the product and the unique and irrefutable attributes that make it the recognized standard of excellence.

Other factors include: an installed product base of well over three million installations; world class support and ongoing training at all levels; a dynamic, pro-active R&D program that operates 24/7; industry leading website; the largest of its kind engineering data bank with 60,000+ equipment designs; same day delivery at no extra charge; growing worldwide reputation for reliability and energy savings due to zero power consumption. All have led to dramatic increases in awareness and preference for genuine Inpro/Seal bearing isolators.

The importance of an authentic brand
When asked about his success, David C. Orlowski, now CEO of Inpro/Seal replied, "The high name recognition for Inpro/Seal has made it an authentic brand that our customers identify as a unique, innovative product. More and more people have learned that an authentic Inpro/Seal is the best possible way to protect bearings. Equipment will run longer, MTBF will increase, power consumption declines, MRO costs are controlled and more."

Product enhancements from a very active R&D program
Orlowski concluded, "When I developed this product back in 1975, it was new and innovative - it still is. The 40+ other patents we have received are all modifications or enhancements of the original. The basic product remains the same. To illustrate, these are some of our newer authentic Inpro/Seal products:

* Air Mizer™-PS - an expanding line of shaft seals that provide a positive seal in applications where dry particulates, powders and bulk solids are handled, processed, packaged and stored. (Awarded as 2007 Product Of The Year by a leading trade magazine. Another trade magazine nominated it for a peoples choice award.)
* OM 32 - in oil mist applications, this is the only known method to permanently solve housekeeping issues and keep stray mist from entering the environment. (On the front cover twice of trade magazines this year.)
* PMR - specially engineered for the size, speed, alignment and operating conditions of wet and dry ends of rolls to make it literally impossible to contaminate the bearings on paper machines.
* CSR - for conveyor/idler use in mining and bulk solid applications. Non-sparking design provides safe, permanent bearing protection for idler rollers in mines. Recognized by the MSHA and assigned tag #AP2007-93304. (Nominated as Product Of The Year by a leading trade magazine.)
* VBXX-MT™ Series Bearing Isolators - offers machine tool users protection from coolant, chips, humidity and heat, that can cause spindle malfunction and expensive, unscheduled downtime. The highest performance is assured with a reverse interface that avoids direct impingement of coolant and chips.

The Web
Maintained totally in-house - www-inpro-seal.com - is an extremely user friendly and product rich website with illustrations, charts, diagrams, installations, product photography, documentation, product literature, feature articles, FAQs and much more. Orlowski personally authors a regular column with up-to-date, useful information that has visitors returning on a regular basis.

Investing in the future
The Inpro/Seal facility in Rock Island, Illinois is the largest of its kind in the world devoted to the engineering, research, testing, marketing, sales and manufacture of bearing isolators. Their current facilities, expanded as part of a major investment just a few years ago, includes 24 of the latest CNC metal turning machines, presses, mills, CAD/CAM, sophisticated testing equipment as well as extensive laboratory and R & D operations. With these investments, Inpro/Seal is poised to produce some 100,000 bearing isolators per month.

SSOE to Design 1.2 M SF BMW Assembly Plant Expansion

Spartanburg, South Carolina Expansion to meet EPACT 2005 standards for Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings

Raleigh/Durham, NC (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 27, 2008 -- SSOE, Inc. one of the nation’s largest architecture and engineering firms, announced that they will be providing design services for BMW’s new 1.2 million SF assembly plant. SSOE will provide the detail architectural and all civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and fire protection engineering services. In an announcement on Monday March 10, BMW confirmed the expansion of the Spartanburg North Assembly Building, keeping in line with their plans to increase production capacity at its US operation from 160,000 to 240,000 automobiles annually by 2012. This expansion will allow BMW to increase their output and add 500 new jobs. Once completed, BMW will have invested $4.2 billion into its South Carolina operations since the production site opened in 1994.

SSOE is ranked 6th in Automotive Design Firms (Engineering News Record, 2007) and has performed design for 50% of all automotive assembly plants built in the US over the last ten years. This includes the Toyota Assembly Plant in Blue Springs, MS currently under construction.

Kohlbecker Architects and Engineers, from Gaggenau, Germany has been contracted by BMW and partnered with SSOE. The scope of work has been divided to leverage the expertise of both firms.

The 1.2 million SF final assembly plant will be built on BMW’s existing site. Construction began in April 2008 and will be completed in July 2009, with production of the next-generation X3 Sports Activity Vehicle beginning in 2010. The building is being designed to meet the EPACT 2005 standards for “Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings”. This includes increases in insulation in the walls and roof, efficient lighting systems (metal halide lights with dual level controls), high efficiency heating and cooling systems, and high efficiency hot water systems.

The Kohlbecker/SSOE team has phased the design to fast track the project by using the approach of separate rough grading, structural steel and general contracts. They are also designing the project completely in Microstation 3D which allows BMW to see and review weekly progress through the free software program NavisWorks. BMW can also use the 3D model for coordinating other tasks within the plant and interference checking for production equipment placement, routing of conveyors and other activities that are concurrent with design of the building.

Besides the X3 Sports Activity Vehicle, the Spartanburg factory also produces the X5 Sports Activity Vehicle and the new X6 Sports Activity Coupe which goes on sale later this year. In addition, BMW is also producing the Z4 Roadster and its respective variants in Spartanburg.

About SSOE
Celebrating its 60th Anniversary this year, SSOE, Inc. is an international design firm and ranks 8th among the nation’s largest engineering and architecture firms (Building Design and Construction, 2007).

Data Devices International Launches the PSIClone™ Degaussed Hard Drive Verification Tool

The leader in the data security industry has launched a new product, the PSIClone, a hard drive cloning and forensic tool that also verifies if a hard drive has been completely degaussed. This hard drive forensic tool offers unbeatable physical data security to businesses of all sizes.

San Marino, CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2008 -- Data Devices International, a leader in the data security industry, has launched the PSIClone™, a hand-held hard drive cloning and forensic tool that can be used to verify whether a hard drive has been completely degaussed.

"The greatest risk to any computer user is allowing your sensitive data to fall into the wrong hands. Before a hard drive is disposed of or redeployed, it needs to be erased so that your data can't be recovered. Our degausser customers have been asking for a fast and easy way to verify that their hard drives have been completely erased. The answer is the PSIClone," said David Partridge, President of Data Devices International. "It's easy. Plug the degaussed drive into the PSIClone. It will let you know if there is recoverable data on the drive or not. This is one of the best hard drive forensic tools on the market today, designed by software engineers who specialize in data recovery."

With increasingly stringent laws regulating the disposal and treatment of electronic data - such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act - companies and organizations need to be vigilant about how their sensitive data is processed, redeployed, discarded and destroyed. Degaussing is one of the best solutions for decommissioned hard drives. Degaussing in conjunction with the PSIClone's hard drive erasure verification is one of the best combinations available today for physical data security.

The PSIClone is a hand-held device that plugs directly into a computer via USB cable and is easily managed using the CPR Toolbox companion software. Every session is logged, so the user has a complete audit trail, which is easily printed through your computer.

Not only does the PSIClone function as a hard drive erasure verification tool, it also clones with built-in write blocker, images, and erases hard drives. This hand-held unit is ideal for any computer forensic toolkit.

If the PSIClone does detect data on the drive, then it can be configured to do a software overwrite of the drive so the data will be unrecoverable.

Once a department has verified its hard drives are completely erased and the data is unrecoverable, the drives are ready to be handed off to a third party for recycling, physical destruction or disposal.

The PSIClone is designed and manufactured by CPR Tools, experts in the field of data recovery for nearly three decades.

Data Devices International, Inc. is a leader in the field of data security products and services that specializes in degaussers, hard drive duplicators & erasers, computer tape equipment, and industrial shredders. Product specifications for the PSIClone can be found at www.datadev.com.

Gainco’s new headquarters address is 1635 Oakbrook Drive, Gainesville, GA 30503 USA. The phone and FAX numbers have not changed.

We’re also pleased to remain part of the corporate community in Gainesville, which is a key commercial center in the poultry industry.”

In addition to its Gainesville facilities, Gainco maintains a second sales and service center in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Both facilities also include extensive warehouse operations.

Since 1984, Gainco, Inc. has been a leader in the development of online electronic weighing, sizing, sorting and distribution systems to increase yields, productivity and efficiency in poultry, red meat and other food processing plants.

Tibbo's DS1000 BASIC-programmable Industrial Controller Receives IP68 Certification

Tibbo Technology is pleased to announce that its DS1000 BASIC-programmable industrial controller is now IP68-compliant.

Taipei, Taiwan (PRWEB) May 27, 2008 -- Tibbo Technology is pleased to announce that its DS1000 BASIC-programmable industrial controller is now IP68-compliant.

In Taipei, Mr. Dmitry Slepov, Managing Director and one of the founders of Tibbo Technology, has commented on this new development: "Industrial-strength dust- and water-proof devices are nothing new. Most of the time, however, such devices are not aesthetically pleasing. Tibbo's achievement is that we have managed to combine industrial strength, elegant appearance, and the flexibility of a truly programmable system in a single easy-to-use package."

IP ("International Protection Rating") is a widely used standard of ruggedness. The higher the IP number is, the more resilient is the rated device. The rating of IP68 is very high, and is considered sufficient for most industrial applications.

The DS1000 becomes dust- and waterproof once a special secondary waterproof cover is installed. The cover attaches to the top of the DS1000 and accommodates up to six signal cables that can securely "exit" through it.

Other devices in the DS10xx family, due later this year, will also be IP68-compliant.

About Tibbo
Located in Taipei, Taiwan, Tibbo Technology Inc. brings simplicity to the embedded world defined by enormous complexity of operating systems, programming languages, and design tools. Established in 1999, Tibbo originally staked out a niche in the highly competitive Device Server arena. Tibbo has realized early on that its customers were going to need much more than just a fixed-function serial-to-Ethernet converter. Moreover, market pressure to add network functionality to an increasing number of devices and systems was going to bring to the "networking table" a large number of developers and integrators with no prior experience in embedded networking and professional programming languages, such as C++.

Recognizing the significance of this trend, Tibbo has entered the field of rapid embedded application development, and in January 2006 announced its first generation of BASIC-programmable devices and development tools. Now in their second generation, Tibbo's BASIC-programmable modules, external devices, and Tibbo IDE software offer an attractive alternative to complex development environments prevailing on the market today.
