We worked closely with Tom to engineer a design that would be easy and cost effec- tive to manufacture," said Davidson. "Tom needed a few product samples for his mar- keting efforts, so we cut a small hand tool to provide him production equivalent parts in a short timeframe. Most manufacturers don't want to deal with such low volume, so this differentiates BeraTek from our competitors. Being a U.S.A.-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 located in our Cedar Rapids facility which is a true value-add BeraTek Industries (Cont'd. from p. 4) for customers," said Davidson. "This allows us to collaborate with the internal team to ensure we are creating the most cost-effective and efficient tool to produce the wine saver. Being able to make tool modifications in-house is a huge time and money saver for customers."

HHR: How did Safe-T-Stool ® become part of ENNOVEA's portfolio? CG: Very often, inventors will come to us with a concept, but not necessarily the means or infrastructure to see the pro- gram through all the stages required to bring it to market. It can take significant resources to bring a product to market and it was clear they needed a partner. I negotiated for that opportunity, and today we have 100 percent exclusive manufac- turing, marketing and distribution rights. HHR: Why do you think Safe-T-Stool is so well received by consumers? CG: Well, it does precisely what it's sup- posed to! Stand on it and try to tip it over – impossible. Carry it to your job site – its light as a feather. Use it outside – it can't rust. Our little dog uses it to get on the couch – it simply performs exactly as you would expect. You feel as safe as if you were standing on the floor. HHR: How do you support your resellers? CG: We are constantly evolving to serve our customers better. We know that to meet the tough demands of retail, we need to respond quickly and profession- ally. On www.safetstool.com we let con- sumers link to where they want to buy. Some customers are engaging in our new drop ship program – everyone wins. If EG ENNOVEA (Cont'd. from p. 1) you are an online retailer, this is ideal. You don't maintain inventories, you only ship once to a paying customer and you are buying direct from the manufacturer, saving additional layers of cost. Whole libraries of fresh digital content are always available for our resellers and our merchandiser solutions can increase sales in the stores. HHR: What is the target audience for Safe-T-Stool? CG: Maybe a better question is, 'Who wouldn't use a Safe-T-Stool?' Kids are using them to brush their teeth. Chores are getting done around the house. It's great to sit on when weeding the garden or changing a bulb that's just out of reach. We use them in our office and I keep one in the garage and one in the laundry. HHR: Where is it made? CG: The Safe-T-Stool is manufactured at our Asheboro, North Carolina facility. It is proudly 100 percent Made in the USA. ENNOVEA is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.

REVOLUTIONARY CLOTHES DRYERS MAKE LAUNDRY DAY EASIER Juwel, winner of multiple Red Dot Design Awards, presents innovative and easy to use clotheslines for indoor and outdoor use. Exaco, the U.S. distributor, is excited to offer its inventive designs to the U.S. market. Made in Austria, Juwel's clothes dryers make it simple to dry deli- cates, comforters and all your laundry naturally. Aircraft-grade aluminum makes the dryers easily portable, but also very strong and durable, while the com- pact form and versatility make them ideal for small spaces and urban living. The Twist 140 Portable Folding Dryer goes above and beyond typical folding dryers with 45 feet of line to hold a whole load of laundry. When the wash is done, laundry is loaded on the Twist – the lightweight Twist then folds in half to effortlessly transfer the dryer to the fresh outdoors or other drying spot. Additionally, soft non-slip feet allow it to be set up over the bathtub (or wall) if only half of the rack is needed for a few delicates that may need to drip dry. When done, the Twist collapses completely to hang in any narrow wall space, keeping it out of the way until the next wash day. When folded up, the lines are protected inside, keeping them clean and ready for use. The Twist comes with a two year warranty against manufactur- er's defect. Novaplus Rotary Line Dryers make it easy to be earth-friendly and enjoy out- door line-dry freshness. Compact when not in use, it is great for a variety of outdoor spaces – large or small. There is plenty of line for multiple washloads on all models. Novaplus dryers come with a protective cover to keep the lines clean – just unhook the cover and it retracts automatically into the pole. The Novaplus opens and closes effortlessly with one hand using a simple easy-lift lever. Additionally, the height of the Novaplus 600 Lift adjusts from 5 feet, 3 inches to nearly 6 feet tall for an optimum working height. Installation of a Novaplus dryer is easy with the included ground socket. The helical socket "screws" into the ground and allows easy off-season removal of the lightweight Novaplus if desired. The socket stays in the ground so it is ready for the next use. The strength of the Novaplus is evident in its sturdy standpipe and tor- sion-resistant double box arm profiles. The coated stretch-free washlines are made from the material used in bullet-proof vests with patented line clamps for consistently taut lines. The high-quality Novaplus Rotary Dryer will last for years and comes with a five year warranty. Exaco Trading has been a U.S. dis- tributor of high-quality earth-friendly European products for many years. Juwel is just one of the great lines it offers, which includes beautiful greenhouses, composters, rain barrels, raised beds and more. For more information, call 877.760.8500 or visit www.exaco.com.
