foresty and industrial markets, distributing gaskets across the US
and
Canada,
and into 39 countries. We market our products through foreign and
domestic
trade shows. This year we exhibit in Indianapolis, Indiana in
February; Louisville,
Kentucky in July; and Munich, Germany in
September.
.
In the last year we have expanded our marketing to the world wide
web. Melody
Windover, our Web Master works daily updating our web page.
Customers are able to
access our catalogs, check listings of our distribution, and request
samples of our
products. The web creates a level playing field for ALL business! On
the web,
business is judged by the quality and availablity of your product or
servies,
not on the location or size of your buildings. Women and minorities
have an
opportunity to compete on this level playing field. Check out our
web site at
www.winderosa.com.
Thank you."
