FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“Economic Slowdown” not in Nathan Edward’s Vocabulary
Austin Diversified Products, Inc. starting 2009 with New Breakthrough Products, Local Manufacturing and Accelerated Recruitiment campaign for Sales People and Distributors.
Harvey, IL – February 6, 2009 – Nathan T. Edwards, Founder and CEO of Austin Diversified Products, Inc. doesn’t have time to talk or think about a sluggish economy. He’s too busy making major changes with his 29-year old company and its signature product ADVANAGE Wonder Cleaner.
“We moved our manufacturing operations to Chicago because we wanted our corporate and manufacturing staffs to be closer and more interactive,” said Nathan Edwards. “The move will also create jobs here in Illinois, and that’s always a good thing. Improving our products and growing our sales channels is something we’ve been doing since we started some 29 years ago. New and better product products, more sales and happier customers always pay off, regardless of the economy.”
From relocating its manufacturing operations, to making dramatic product improvements to accelerating its new sales person recruitment efforts, change at Austin Diversified is pervasive.
The first step was taken three months ago when the Company decided to move its manufacturing operations from Atlanta, GA to Chicago, IL. This was done to bring manufacturing closer to the Company’s Harvey, IL corporate Headquarters and to make it easier for the Company’s management to have more direct involvement in new product development.
The second step was most crucial. You don’t change a product with over 20 million customers without a compelling reason… which in this case came in the form of the Company’s patented Surfactant System. By adding its Surfactant to its proprietary ADVANGE formulation, ADVANGE’s emulsification properties have been enhanced significantly. No other multipurpose cleaner in America has a Surfactant like this which means that can match ADVANAGE performance, particularly when cleaning up kitchen grease and oily surfaces. Changing ADVANAGE also meant using “greener” raw materials, making the new ADVANAGE even more environmentally friendly.
Step three is now in motion…. recruiting new sales people and expanding the number of the Company’s Independent Distributors. Advertising for new sales people and distributorships is taking place in the Midwest and on the West Coast.
Investing in new products and programs when other businesses are bracing for a recession is something you might expect from Austin’s dynamic CEO Nathan Edwards. Actually, there’s never been anything conventional about Mr. Edwards and his company’s products and practices. Back in the early eighties, ADVANAGE was America’s first “green” cleaner, long before such thinking ever became popular. Growing a sales organization by recruiting young people from the inner cities of America is another example of a leader who not only does what’s good for his Company but also does what’s good for our country. Over the years, Austin Diversified has taught thousands of these young Americans how to sell, build a career and earn a fine living.
With its new manufacturing operations, new ADVANAGE (with its patented Surfactant) and its ever growing sales activities, the Company is looking forward to a banner 2009 and beyond.
