Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily 2 9 Monday, March 20, 2017 HSR-100 & GHOSTBUSTER FROM RESTORE IT YOURSELF, INC. Restore It Yourself, Inc., in Carlsbad, California, manufactures effective DIY (or RIY) solutions to damaging condi- tions on glass, stone, stainless steel, cop- per and tile. Restore It Yourself, Inc., is the brain- child of its Founder, Barry S. Feinman. With service credits including the Golden Gate Bridge, U.S. Naval Academy and many national cemeteries, Feinman has become one of the world's foremost experts in the art of surface restoration. Through many years of research and development, primarily in applied prod- uct usage and experimentation, Feinman creates products and services that are unique and innovative by creating simple and effective solutions to common prob- lems. An example of this is the discovery and subsequent inventions of HSR- 100™ and GhostBuster™ for quick and effective removal of hard water deposit and safe ongoing maintenance. In fact, due to the safe chemistry of HSR-100, it is among the safest products for use on stainless steel and chrome while being extremely effective on stone and glass surfaces as well. In fact, its products have been used in cemeteries and water- parks for cleaning and maintenance of headstones and waterslides, to name a few. HSR-100 or Hard Water Scale Remover (concentrate) aggressively attacks and dissolves calcium and lime based minerals, breaking their structure and degrading them. As such, it effec- tively cleans and removes stain from con- crete and masonry. HSR-100 is safe on metals, stone, tile and glass, to name a few, while being safe for septic and sewer systems. Another secret is that HSR-100 works harder when it is heated. GhostBuster is the perfect pairing for HSR- 100 for those stubborn deposits or 'ghost' rings sometimes left behind from window cleaning and descaling. GhostBuster quickly and scratch-free removes those rings and shadows revealing clear glass, even on those glass panels you've been told are too far gone and the mineral is embed- ded. Its products have been used by win- dow washers and janitorial companies for years, and provide fast results and time saving solutions, not to mention saving customers money from having to replace costly items and surfaces. Along with HSR-100 and GhostBuster, the company produces and sells a variety of restoration products to the public, commercial contractors and professional services. It offers safe to use and environmentally friendly products and solutions. Today, Restore It Yourself, Inc., enjoys being in the forefront of developing innovative clean- ing and restoration products for the Restore-It-Yourselfer (RIY). Its attention to developing easy- to-use, green products and processes has been well received by the commercial and private sector. Restore It Yourself, Inc., only brings to the market those products and processes which the company itself develops and uses in the field. The company looks forward to helping you with your next project or discussing how you can help bring its products to your customers. Meet Barry S. Feinman and his team in booth #N7663.

BERATEK FOCUSED ON BRINGING PRODUCTS TO MARKET QUICKLY BeraTek Industries is helping entrepre- neurs turn their ideas into reality. Positioned as a resource for those looking to manufacture a product, the company offers "vertically integrated services." BeraTek services include product design, prototyping, manufac- turing, fulfillment and digital market- ing. All BeraTek services are offered under one roof in its Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility. "My first plan when I opened the doors of BeraTek was to manufacture and sell my own products. However, when talking to other entrepreneurs I quickly recognized there is a great need for our services," said Gerald Beranek, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BeraTek. "We have the equipment and capacity to produce tooling and injection mold products – whether it be short run or high volumes – depending on the customer's needs. Our focus is on reducing the time needed to get products to market and at a lower cost than outsourcing overseas." BeraTek customer and entrepreneur, Tom Lutz, launched his product, the Repour™ wine saver (www.repour.com) on Kickstarter on October 26, 2016. Repour is a unique and first of its kind wine preserving stopper, utilizing oxy- gen-absorbing technology within a sim- ple, effective and affordable stopper. Lutz began working with BeraTek early in 2016 on the design of his product. "I've been working with BeraTek Industries for about nine months to get this product to market," said Lutz. "They've been awesome to work with because they are a full-service shop where they offer design, development, tooling and manufacturing. This compre- hensive service has been extremely valu- able for me as an entrepreneur bringing a product from concept to commercial launch." Lutz has been work- ing closely with Ethan Davidson, Director of Business Development at BeraTek. "The Repour wine saver is a perfect example of a project that fits BeraTek's core capa- bilities. We worked closely with Tom to engineer a design that would be easy and cost effective to manufacture," said Davidson. "Tom needed a few product samples for his marketing efforts, so we cut a small hand tool to provide him pro- duction equivalent parts in a short time- frame. Most manufactures don't want to deal with such low volume, so this dif- ferentiates BeraTek from our competi- tors. Being a USA-based product design and manufacturing company, it was rewarding to help an entrepreneur bring his idea to fruition." The Repour wine saver is currently in the late stages of tooling design, according to Lutz and Davidson. "Our design and tooling team are both locat- ed in our Cedar Rapids facility, which is a true value-add for customers," said Davidson. "This allows us to collaborate with the internal team to ensure we are cre- ating the most cost- effective and effi- cient tool to produce the wine saver. Being able to make tool modifications in-house is a huge time and money saver for customers." About BeraTek Industries BeraTek Industries is a product design and manufacturing company that has mastered the art of developing simple, innovative solutions for life's little chal- lenges.
