RYPOS ULETRU Filters for Thermoking and Carrier Transportation Refrigeration Units Achieve In-Use Compliance Goals

FRANKLIN, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- RYPOS, Inc., developer, and manufacturer of advanced, exhaust filtration systems is pleased to announce the successful completion of the On-Road In-Use Compliance required by the California Air Resources Board for their entire Ultra Low Emission Transportation Refrigeration Unit active diesel particulate filter (DPF) product line.

The DPF systems, which are verified to the Level 3+ reduction standard by the California Air Resources Board, and have been operated extensively within the refrigerated trailer fleets in California have recently been retested after years of field use by an independent lab and found to be fully emission compliant.

The Rypos Active DPF is a filter that traps and burns soot reducing particulate matter emissions by more than 85 percent. Unlike other particulate filter technologies, the Rypos system is self-monitoring and completely autonomous, ensuring that the filter is continuously clean and able to accept the full exhaust load of the engine in any operating conditions and at any time.

"This important milestone validates the systems' original design premise, that it would be an end of life compliance solution for the Tier IV interim and less than 25 horsepower engines powering the majority of the installed base," said Peter Bransfield, RYPOS' CEO.

About RYPOS:
RYPOS (http://www.rypos.com/) is a privately held Company with operations in Franklin, Massachusetts. They have designed and developed a number of leading-edge diesel exhaust filtration products for small and large engines that utilize their patented electrical regeneration strategy and technology.

AGS Laboratories Releases Digital Diamond Grading Reports – Digital Format Serves as the Official Document #AskForAGS

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- AGS Laboratories announces the launch of their grading reports in a digital platform. The digital documents serve as an official grading report and will be formatted the same as AGS Laboratories' printed documents.

"We're excited to add digital documents to our product offering. Digital documents help us in our commitment to environmental management by reducing paper, as well as, reducing operational costs for everyone in the supply chain across a variety of processes: shipping, storing, and replacement of lost documents," said Jason Quick, AGS Laboratories Executive Director.

The document resides on AGS Laboratories Only My Diamond(R) (OMD) so that consumers are getting the benefits of the platform, including an actual video of the diamond, a clear-cut explanation of the 4Cs, the diamond's clarity plot, laser inscription, and social media sharing options. Previous versions of OMD had an online copy of the grading report, while the official document was in printed form.

"By incorporating the official digital grading report into the OMD experience, the retailer can present the diamond with a grading report that their customers will find both fun and interesting," said Quick.

Another benefit of the digital report is that no app is needed: the document can be accessed through the Report Verification function on agslab.com or from display cards in the store, which features a QR Code linking to the document. If a consumer, retailer, or the supplier wants a physical grading report, one can be ordered from AGS Laboratories.

The first digital documents are already in use by Helzberg Diamonds(R) for the Kalahari Dream(R) collection, in advance of the holiday shopping season.

Tubular Solenoids from Johnson Electric are the Secret Ingredient to High-Tech Assemblies and Smart Devices

VANDALIA, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- Continuing to confound the competition and impress manufacturers in 77 countries, Johnson Electric is proud to announce today the release of their new 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 STA-model tubular solenoid. The product improves upon current brass sleeve technology by providing a longer stroke, higher cycles, and better mounting capacity.

"As devices get higher-tech, the functional demands of our solenoids increase. The voice of the customer on this is clear, they wanted a solenoid that was easy to install, had a more adaptable stroke length, ran up to 25 million cycles and most importantly, the solenoid must be prepared in both push and pull models," shared Jeff Woolf, Director of Sales for Johnson Electric.

Common commercial applications for tubular solenoids include shipping and receiving package sorting arrays, mechanical valves and brakes, door locks, and medical testing and analysis devices.

As Johnson Electric serves a wide array of product manufacturers, the demand for product quality and life expectancy could not be greater. Something as simple as making sure that your product can be UL-listed in the United States means that all product parts, including the coil components within the solenoid, are UL-listed.

Jill Post, Product Line Manager for the solenoid division of Johnson Electric shares, "The applicability of solenoids within modern device assemblies could not be more diverse. We see our units included in a much wider array of product configurations. Bottom line, we help to make our customers successful by providing the same product reliability, but with a much wider array of capabilities."

DAPA Products Shares the Importance of Getting the Right Fit on a Screen Spline

JASPER, Ala. /ScoopCloud/ -- DAPA Products, a screen spline manufacturer and supplier, shares important tips to get the right fit in your window or door screen spline for repair. A screen spline is an essential element for window and door frames and helps them to remain secure.

Spline products that are currently on the market come in several different varieties that range in both shape and size. Different materials are utilized to manufacture splines. Finding the ideal fit and the right material is critical in getting the best performance out of a spline regardless of whether it is being used for a door or a window.

DAPA Products have gone to great lengths to manufacture the highest quality splines that are created from high-quality materials. This way, customers know that they are getting a product that is durable and will hold up for the long haul.

Choose the Right Material

Though several materials are out there that splines are manufactured from, vinyl splines and foam screen spline are the most popular options. A major factor behind this is the fact that both of these spline types are simple to install and have a strong durability to them. The team at DAPA manufactures outstanding foam screen spline that are well-known for their ease of use and installation.

The spline product options made available through DAPA Products include:
* PVC Flat Screen, Smooth Screen, and Ribbed Screen
* T and Per spline options
* Foam Screen, Foam Flat Screen, and Foam Ribbed Screen

Taking the Right Measurements

DAPA Products has some outstanding suggestions to make use of in getting the right screen spline measurements. The first suggestion is to use the old spline as a guidepost. This can be done by laying the spline on a flat area and then measuring its width with a tape measure. The diameter is determined through a measurement that goes from the opening's bottom to its top. The measurements that are discovered here should be used in purchasing a replacement spline.

Top Suggestions for Successfully Working With A Screen Spline

There are a few key pointers that the DAPA Products team provides in working with a spline. These include getting the right measurements to start with. The second thing to consider is purchasing a screen mouse or a roller made for spline installation as this is easier than installing through hand manipulation.

The DAPA Products team has a complete commitment to providing customers with the best service and highest quality products on the market! Customers love our commitment to bringing them the lowest possible prices as well. Contact a member of the team today at 1-800-229-3181 or visit https://www.dapaproducts.com to find out about getting the perfect spline to fit your needs.

DAPA runs several extrusion lines 24 hours a day, 5 days per week. Foam Screen Spline has helped to reduce the stress of screening and now is the favored choice for many major manufacturers.

After, Inc. Publishes Latest Research on California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) – Effective Jan. 1, 2020 – and Its Implications for Manufacturers

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- After, Inc., a pioneer in the Warranty Services industry, has delivered innovative warranty marketing, analytics and program management services to top-tier manufacturers since 2005. As an industry leader, After, Inc. stays on top of regulations that may affect its manufacturing clients. The California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) is one of these.

The CCPA, passed on June 28, 2019, provides California residents with the rights to: know what personal information is being collected about them; to access that information; to know if their personal information is disclosed and to whom; to know if their personal information is sold and to opt out of the sale; and to receive equal service and price whether or not they exercise their privacy rights.

A company is subject to the law if it is a for-profit business that collects personal data, does business in California, and satisfies one of the following: a) has gross revenues over $25 million, b) has information on over 50,000 customers, households or devices, or c) earns more than 50% of its revenue from selling personal information.

While this law pertains only to California residents, other states are considering similar versions, meaning that businesses must take the steps necessary to ensure that their data systems and processes are updated for compliance.

To help manufacturers prepare for CCPA, After, Inc. put together a checklist of eight key workstreams (see image). Each of these workstreams requires cross-functional communication and coordination across operations, marketing, finance, legal and customer service.

This is not an easy task, so After, Inc. suggests that manufacturers start preparing today. On the bright side, if companies have already satisfied the GDPR requirements for their European customers, they have a significant head start.

After, Inc.'s research also covers the requirements for third party service providers that have access to California resident data on their clients' behalves, for "advertising or marketing, analytics and similar services."

Note: Manufacturers should seek legal counsel to determine specifically how CCPA applies to their company.

Getec Industries Announces the Addition of Stir Welding Services to Its Thermal Solutions Division

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Getec Industries is proud to announce that has added stir welding services as part of its suite of thermal management solutions, and has been added as part of the Thermal Solutions division.

Today's complex electronic components run faster than ever, and this increased speed generates heat-a lot of it-and this often requires innovative solutions for heat dissipation in these electronic devices. One of these solutions is the creation of large extruded aluminum heat sinks that are 20 or 30 inches or even larger.

The problem is that there are very few 36-inch extrusion presses in the world, and a limited number of 20 and 30-inch extrusion presses. Using these larger extrusion presses require a 10 to 20 metric ton minimum run, and the cost of tooling for a large extrusion press can range anywhere from $40,000.00-$90,000.00. This makes the extrusion of a large, one-piece aluminum heat sinks unaffordable for most businesses.

The process of friction stir welding joins two surfaces together using a rotating mechanical tool that fuses the surfaces of two smaller heat sinks together seamlessly. For example, Getec Industrial can stir weld three 12-inch heat sinks together to create one seamless 36-inch heat sink at a fraction of the cost of producing a one-piece 36-inch heat sink.

By using this new equipment and technology, friction stir welding offers an affordable alternative that produces heat dissipation performance of a large heat sink without the prohibitive die tooling and large minimum metric ton runs associated with large extrusion presses.

"By adding stir welding services to our Thermal Solutions division, Getec Industrial can fabricate extruded aluminum heat sinks as wide as you need," according to Hart Cardozo III, COO of Getec Industries. "This option will substantially cut costs for our customers who require these types of thermal management solutions for their products, and save them a lot of manufacturing lead time and production headaches."

Whiteflash Delivers Historic Super Ideal Diamond Necklace

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Whiteflash announced today the completion of a custom platinum necklace containing a record number of AGS Ideal(R) diamonds; a project that has been months in the making.

The project involved 100 custom cut super ideal, collection quality diamonds set in a heavy 26 inch platinum line necklace. In what is likely the largest number of AGS Ideal(R) cut diamonds ever set in a single piece of jewelry, the diamonds are from the Whiteflash branded A CUT ABOVE(R) Collection Series with colors in the DEF "colorless" range, and the 'microscopically clean" IF-VVS clarity range.

A CUT ABOVE(R) diamonds feature precision cutting and elite light performance. They require a platinum dual light map Triple Ideal report from the AGS Laboratories as a baseline. AGS Laboratories is considered one of the leading authorities on diamond light performance. Further tests are performed by Whiteflash gemologists, including careful analysis of optical precision, before a diamond is awarded the internationally acclaimed brand of A CUT ABOVE(R). The ultimate designation in the brand is the A CUT ABOVE(R) Collection Series featuring the most elite colors and clarities, known in the diamond trade as "collection goods."

The client who commissioned the piece was very specific about his requirements, resulting in the need to produce a large number of .30-.33ct precision cut diamonds in order to arrive at 100 diamonds that would meet all specifications and qualifications for A CUT ABOVE Collection Series.

After the stones were cut, they were sent to AGS Laboratories for grading. Those stones passing the laboratory and meeting the strict baseline criteria for the brand were then sent on to Whiteflash for further testing. Finally, only the diamonds passing the full array of tests were chosen for the necklace. This world-class necklace consists of over 30 carats of AGS Ideal(R) diamonds and almost 100 grams of platinum.

Each of the diamonds in the piece has a full Triple Zero light performance report from AGS Laboratories, and each diamond comes with the full benefits package from Whiteflash including 100% Lifetime Trade Up benefit. The necklace was hand delivered to the client at The American Gem Society headquarters by Bryan Boyne GG (GIA), CG (AGS), Vice President of Whiteflash, who had helped oversee the project.

Whiteflash COO Eliezer Eber had this to say about the project: "We are extremely proud to have been chosen by this very discriminating buyer to supply this extraordinary piece. We create many custom pieces every year involving specially cut precision diamonds, but this project smashed the record in terms of the sheer number of stones in a single piece. The collective man hours involved in bringing this long-term project to reality was a true test for our processes and the diligence of our team of gemologists and jewelers."

Jason Quick, Executive Director of AGS Laboratories, commented, "I love seeing pieces, like this one, created around diamonds that have received the top cut grade in our lab. We appreciate Whiteflash for their dedication to the finest in diamond light performance and craftsmanship, and we are thrilled to be associated with this project."

Whiteflash is a top tier retail jeweler specializing in Ideal Diamonds, Designer Engagement Rings and Fine Bridal Jewelry. Their A CUT ABOVE(R) Super Ideal Diamonds are considered by trade experts and diamond connoisseurs to be among the finest in the world.

New Stanford Hospital First to Install OSP Seismic Rated Diesel Particulate Filters

FRANKLIN, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- RYPOS, Inc., developer and manufacturer of advanced, exhaust filtration systems that reduce harmful emissions from diesel engines, and Stanford Medicine, a leader in pioneering research, creative teaching protocols and effective clinical therapies, are pleased to announce the first installation and approval of an OSP special seismic certification pre-approved diesel particulate filter for the new emergency power station at New Stanford Hospital medical center.

The filter systems, which are verified to the Level 3+ reduction standard by the California Air Resources Board, are now operational providing the hospital environment with clean, reliable and seismic tolerant emission control.

The Rypos Active DPF is a filter that traps and burns soot reducing particulate matter emissions by more than 85 percent. Unlike other particulate filter technologies, the Rypos system is self-monitoring and completely autonomous ensuring that the filter is continuously clean and able to accept the full exhaust load of the emergency generator at any time. At the request of Stanford Medicine and other critical medical facility operators, Rypos pursued and obtained the OSP special seismic certification in an effort to streamline the approval and installation process for these mission critical systems.

"People often forget that the diesel particulate filter is capable of degrading or preventing the supply of emergency back-up power should it malfunction in a seismic event. By testing the Rypos DPF to the highest seismic levels, we are able to provide New Stanford Hospital and our other hospital customers with peace of mind that their filters will remain fully operational in the event of an emergency," said Peter Bransfield, RYPOS' CEO.

Bert Hurlbut, Vice President of New Stanford Hospital, commented; "We are pleased to be the first to put the Rypos seismically certified filter into service. Stanford Health Care's commitment to sustainability and our common interest with Rypos in advancing clean air technology have resulted in a product that is ideally suited to our needs."

About RYPOS:

RYPOS - https://www.rypos.com/ - is a privately held Company with operations in Franklin, Mass. They have designed and developed a number of leading-edge diesel exhaust filtration products for small and large engines that utilize their patented electrical regeneration strategy and technology.

About Stanford Health Care:

Stanford Heath Care seeks to provide patients with the very best in diagnosis and treatment, with outstanding quality, compassion and coordination.

Capacity Announces Appointments of Josh Krueger as COO and Nick Curatallo as Head of Partnerships

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capacity LLC, trusted leaders in order fulfillment, eCommerce, and EDI solutions, has confirmed two key appointments for the company, with a new Chief Operating Officer, Josh Krueger, and Nick Curatallo coming on as Head of Partnerships.

With a background in retail logistics and fulfillment, Krueger is eminently qualified to take up this new role with Capacity's experienced logistics team. After starting his career at WalMart, Josh made the jump to Amazon in its early days, climbing up the managerial ranks in various operational roles including oversight of robot-automated facilities. Krueger then joined rapidly growing eCommerce brand Zulily as VP of Fulfillment. He coordinated a multimillion-dollar project to create a state-of-the-art fulfillment center, with a focus on automation and accelerating delivery times.

Krueger moves to his new position at Capacity from the VP of Logistics role at QVC in Pennsylvania, where he moved after the acquisition of Zulily. His experience with so many well-known brands, at a time when change is the only constant of the online retail landscape, will make Krueger a major asset for Capacity's clients.

Nick Curatallo joins Capacity from Newgistics and Pitney Bowes, having previously spent a decade at DHL specializing on eCommerce parcel shipping solutions. His ability to manage multiple stakeholders and deliver compelling fulfillment and shipping strategies will serve Capacity's expanding client base with fresh ideas and creative solutions, while helping Capacity form new partnerships and explore new industry verticals.

The Deadliest Week of the Year for Pedestrian Injuries and Deaths is the First Week of July and Cost Approximately $63.8B Last Year

ONTARIO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- A just released research paper, by noted economist and author Jay Prag of the Drucker School, finds that the cost of pedestrian injuries and deaths from accidents cost the United States economy more than $60 billion in 2018 alone. According to the research, sponsored by Maglite, the vast majority of accidents and the highest percentage of deaths (up to 75% according to some studies occurred at night with poor visibility and distracted driving being major contributing factors).

"Pedestrian deaths exceed those by drowning and motorcycle accidents; exceed deaths by food borne illness in the US; and exceed deaths by tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough combined," said Prag. "They even exceed the combined deaths in home fires, boating accidents, and commercial airline accidents each year. If pedestrian deaths were a disease, drug companies would be searching for a cure. If we looked at it like other accidental causes, we would require something similar to smoke detectors, helmets, or life jackets. But, so far, it's just a problem without a policy for mitigation."

The research goes on to point out that the simple addition of carrying a flashlight to provide illumination of the pedestrian would likely save lives and injuries.

A significant majority of the accidents and fatalities especially at night are caused by a deadly combination of poor visibility and distracted driving according to the research paper. The deadliest period of the year is the first week of July and the summer months are overall the most dangerous for pedestrians and drivers alike. That is why the month of July is dubbed National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month.

"With vacations and people walking and playing in unfamiliar places and often less illuminated locations like beaches, parks and campgrounds and doing more at night because of the mild weather, the risk for deaths and injuries to pedestrians is much higher and we want people to be safe," said Anthony Maglica founder and inventor of the MAGLITE(R).

Maglite is a founding sponsor of The Pedestrian Safety Institute and sponsored the research by Prag.

The full research paper is available at the website http://www.pedestriansafetyinstitute.com/.

About Mag Instrument:

Mag Instrument, manufacturer of the MAGLITE(R) flashlight, is proud to be a U.S.A. manufacturer. Each flashlight is a result of an obsession with fine engineering, craftsmanship and a commitment to perfection. Founder, owner and president Anthony Maglica has guided his company's growth from a one-man machine shop in 1955 to an enterprise that has proudly employed thousands of American workers since it produced its first flashlight in 1979.

IEDCO Vacuum Conveying Systems Designed to Overcome Difficult Plant Layouts

TURNERSVILLE, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- IEDCO, a leader in the design and manufacture of custom engineered powder handling systems and solutions offers custom design solutions for efficiently moving powders in plants with difficult layouts.

There are multiple critical components in a pneumatic conveying system. In circumstances where the plant layout is challenging, custom designed systems dictate where and how these critical components are placed. These components consist of the pickup point, tubing, receiver, vacuum pump and the control system.

The pickup point may be a wand, bag dump station or bulk bag dischargers. Tubing may be of varying materials and diameter. The receiver is fit with valves which discharge the received material into the process, while the vacuum pump creates the suction to pull the material through the tubing. The control systems manage the flow of material through the system by dictating suction pressures, batching, multi-ingredient processes and more.

All of these components must be properly configured to ensure product gets from point to point in the plant while maintaining product integrity, flow rates, and safety.

While these systems are customized to meet individual needs, IEDCO's experience with designing, manufacturing and installing these systems results in systems that are efficient and cost effective. IEDCO pneumatic conveying systems are ideal for the food, pharmaceuticals and chemical industries.

The Joy Factory Launches New Industrial Cases for Surface Go

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Joy Factory, Inc. announced today that it is launching two new rugged cases to expand its aXtion line of tablet cases. These cases are specifically designed for the Surface Go. As a proud Microsoft Designed for Surface Partner, The Joy Factory is committed to designing products that will enhance the user's experience in the most effortless way.

The Joy Factory has once again set the standard by developing durable and reliable technology to protect a business' tablet investment across various regulated industries.

The aXtion Pro MP (CWM409MP) for Surface Go is the first of its kind. This fully enclosed and industrial grade case indisputably protects the tablet in rough and unpredictable environments. The Joy Factory's innovative team designed the CWM409MP, in accordance with the "Designed for Surface" program guidelines and specifications, to be the first fully enclosed waterproof (IP68) case on the market that also meets MIL-STD-810G military durability standards. The built-in heavy-duty screen protector along with port and button covers fully protects the tablet from dust, debris and liquids. This innovative solution can go across all industrial fields from warehouse and construction sites to manufacturing production lines.

Specially designed with The Joy Factory's new proprietary ThermoDefend(TM) heat dissipating technology, this rugged case keeps the Surface Go at peak performance capabilities at 25 degrees Celsius so that users can get the job done without fear of their device overheating.

This revolutionary case will protect a business' tablet investment while providing unrestricted mobility to any workforce with the built-in aXtion VESA MP Module. The module includes MagConnect technology for quick and easy attachment and removal with any MagConnect mount, a non-slip kickstand to conveniently position the Surface Go anywhere and a built-in rotating adjustable hand strap to hold the device without sacrificing comfort for productivity. The CWM409MP empowers and enables the mobile workforce wherever they go.

"When you are in high traffic areas, there is a possibility for a tablet to endure a lot of bumps, drops, scrapes or even potential damage. This new case for the Surface Go is going to fully protect the tablet all around in the toughest of terrains or hazardous environments," said Miranda Su, Executive Vice President at The Joy Factory.

Users in the healthcare fields can further enhance their tablet experience with the aXtion Pro MPA (CWM408 MPA). In addition to all the protective features of the aXtion Pro MP, this healthcare grade case takes it one innovative step further. The entire case is infused with antimicrobial agent IonPure(R), which helps with the prevention of bacteria and mold growth on the case's surface. For healthcare professionals, the CWM408MPA is the reliable solution to meet most federal cleaning regulations necessary in both healthcare facilities and environments.

The CWM408MPA is the result of combining functional and armored features together to keep the Surface Go protected while moving between patient rooms, nurse stations, doctor's offices and hospital floors. With ThermoDefend(TM) heat dissipating technology, users gain the benefits of peak performance capability all in a fully enclosed certified and IP-rated case.

Like the CWM409MP, the CWM408MPA has a built-in aXtion VESA MP Module with MagConnect technology that allows users to mount the Surface Go with any compatible MagConnect mount for reliable hands-free positioning and display. Safeguard your Surface Go in any work environment with the CWM408MPA without sacrificing superior protective features and easy accessibility.

The CWM409MP will be available Tuesday, June 4, 2019. The CWA408MPA will be available at the end of June.

Forged Components Inc. Releases Benefits Sheet for ASME Pressure Vessel Connections Forging

HUMBLE, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Forged Components Inc. (FCI) has released a sheet listing the benefits of getting ASME pressure vessel connections forging needs met by FCI. Why select us? Forged Components is one of the ASME pressure vessel connections manufacturing. What makes us so good at what we do?

One Stop Shop:

FCI fabricates ASME pressure vessel connections in one shop. This eliminates extra fabrication and testing as the result of passing the part around from shop to shop. The cost savings resulting from this streamlined fabrication process is passed on our customers.

Faster Turnaround Times:

Because Forged Components has so much experience fabricating reinforced nozzles and other pressure vessel connections, there are products and processes in place that speed up the production of our ASME pressure vessel connections.

This means that when customers place orders, they get fabricated and shipped faster, so your company can get it in place faster to increase production faster. This means an increase in sales for the business because of these faster turnaround times.

Consistent Quality and Cost:

When working with FCI, rest assured that your business is getting a high-quality product at an excellent price. Forged Components has lower production costs because we purchase the material for reinforced nozzles in one part instead of three. This means there are fewer parts in inventory to track, and it allows our quality control inspectors to focus their attention on the most critical areas of concern.

As a result, quality control is better, and because there are fewer areas to inspect and the products don't require as much traceability as competitors who buy their components in multiple parts.

Here's the bottom line: Forged Components delivers higher quality reinforced pressure vessels at a good price and faster than our competitors. The faster delivery of our pressure vessel connections means your production and (hopefully) your sales will increase.

About Forged Components, Inc.:

Forged Components, Inc. (FCI) is a global leader in the forging, machining and manufacture of integral self-reinforced connections for ASME pressure vessels LWN, HB, I1, I2, I3 E, Q-Lip nozzles, butt weld stub end connections, studding outlets, and ASME B.16 Series A & B large diameter flanges and blinds.

FCI operates from over 300,000 square-feet of manufacturing facilities at multiple locations throughout Texas in Houston, Humble, Porter and Navasota, with its main corporate office and manufacturing/storage facility situated in Humble. In addition to pressure vessel connections and pressure vessel flange products, FCI produces forgings for the energy, petrochemical, refinery, power generation and oil/gas exploration and production industries.

Mg O’Hare Law Releases White Paper on New York State’s Industrial Equipment Rental Industry for Owners and Operators

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mg O'Hare Law, a New York Law Firm, releases white paper on New York State's Industrial Equipment Rental Market for Owners and Operators. The industrial equipment rental market is forecast to grow over the next five years to 2023. New York State is expected to outpace the rate of growth of the U.S. industry. A focus on customer retention can give operators an edge over the competition.

Mg O'Hare Law announced the publication of its white paper, "The Competitive Edge: New York State's Industrial Equipment Rental Market Report: For Owners and Operators."

The white paper, authored by New York attorney Marti Granizo-O'Hare, uses market data to analyze how focusing on customer retention can help equipment rental operators compete.

"Businesses that increase their customer retention rate by 5 percent could increase the value of a customer by 25 percent to 100 percent. Companies focus on customer volume when analyzing profit margins for a specific period but often overlook calculating the loss rate of existing customers in the same period," Ms. O'Hare cites the research.

Ms. O'Hare's whitepaper considers how "eighty-five percent of New York equipment rental operators employ less than twenty employees, and the average less than ten," according to industry data. "Personnel and budget constraints prevent an operator from designating and training staff to perform the type of customer service needed to cement long-term customer relationships," says Ms. O'Hare.

"Given the potential in even a small increase in customer retention, equipment rental operators should consider whether outsourcing this responsibility makes sense for their business," says Ms. O'Hare. She outlines five criteria for operators to evaluate the outsourcing option.

Ms. O'Hare's white paper consists of industry data, customer retention research and professional experience to support her conclusions.

About Mg O'Hare Law, The Business Dispute Clinic:

Marti Granizo-O'Hare is a New York State licensed attorney. She has been practicing law and alternative dispute resolution for twenty-six years.

Pamela Bosco, Founder of Pet King Brands, Named Recipient of 2019 Pet Age Magazine Women of Influence Award

WESTMONT, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pamela K. Bosco, President and Founder of Pet King Brands, was named a winner of Pet Age Magazine's 2019 Women of Influence annual award. Each year Pet Age bestows the honor on women leaders who have made a significant impact on the animal health and pet care industry. Pet King Brands is the maker of veterinarian-recommended brands ZYMOX(R) Dermatology and Oratene(R) Brushless Oral Care.

Twenty years ago, Pet King Brands started with three products and now provides a full spectrum of topical dermatological products for problematic ears and skin - available with or without added hydrocortisone - as well as a full line of oral care products that don't require brushing to be effective. Bosco's lifelong love for animals and deep conviction for the quality of care all animals deserve and innovative thinking has made life-changing differences in the health of dogs, cats, horses and other animals around the world.

"I am honored to be named one of Pet Age Magazine's Women of Influence in the pet care industry ... and even more exciting as Pet King Brands celebrates 20 years of business in the animal health and pet care industry this year," said Bosco.

Since first being introduced through veterinarian clinics nationwide, Pet King Brands has distributed over 1 million bottles of its flagship product ZYMOX(R) Otic Ear Solution and continues to expand its pet health products line.

Bosco points out that Pet King Brands' ZYMOX family of enzymatic products were introduced to the veterinary community when the topic of antibiotic resistance was just starting to be discussed by consumers for their personal and pets' health care.

"Our enzymatic solutions represent cutting-edge technology without the side effects and resistance associated with antibiotics," she said. "I am so thankful for the positive impact the products have had on the health of so many pets around the world."

Bosco's mission to provide solutions for animal welfare has resulted in the formation of Pet King Brand's cause marketing program. During 2018, the company donated over $240,000 worth of ZYMOX Advanced Otic to help pets afflicted with problematic ears in shelters, rescues, humane societies and sanctuaries. Her passion for all animals is also evident at her Austin ranch which serves both as a sanctuary and home to a variety of dogs, cats, and horses, as well as a whole community of exotic animals.

About Pet King Brands, Inc.:

Pet King Brands is led by President and Founder, Pamela Bosco, who first introduced ZYMOX to the veterinary world in 1998. Based on years of research, she knew she had a product that was going to change the way people managed pet ear infections. Pet King Brands' patented LP3 Enzyme System is used in the most complete and complex enzymatic dermatology and oral care products available on the market for both small and large animals.

Its ZYMOX Dermatology products remain a stark contrast to other products on the market, offering effective solutions that are easy to use, free of harsh chemicals and antibiotics, and made in the United States. In addition to its skin topicals, Pet King Brands' product family includes ear care products, brushless oral care products, shampoos and conditioning rinses.

The ZYMOX and Oratene lines represent true advances in the field of veterinary healthcare. Bosco owes her discovery to her brother, Michael Pellico, the bioscientist credited with adapting his enzyme technology in Biotene(R) - the #1 dentist-recommended product for people suffering from Dry Mouth and owned by GlaxoSmithKline - and making it safe for use in animals.

Pet King Brands' unwavering commitment to the well-being of animals is the reason they take such great pride in delivering high-quality products that are safe as well as effective. ZYMOX and Oratene are available through veterinarians and select retailers.
