Guilbert Express Launches North American Operations
Atlanta, GA - Guilbert Express, a European leader specialized in developing high-quality heating tools for the building, roofing and agriculture markets, announced at METALCON 2011 the launch of its North American operations, a new division focused on the development for the U.S. and Canadian markets.
“Establishing a local presence in the U.S. and Canadian market is the next important step in the growth of the company," said Philippe Guilbert, CEO of Guilbert Express. “Despite a more difficult economic condition, we believe there is tremendous opportunity in this market for the range of high-end quality heating tools we offer.”
Several investments have been made to support the launch of the U.S. division and provide enhanced service and support to the U.S. and Canadian customers. The establishment of a local customer service team, U.S. warehousing and operational support for quick delivery and development of local marketing resources including a new product website are only some of the investments made specifically for the North American market.
The company’s products have been packaged in easy “grab-and-go” kits with UL-listed components, which make it easy to select the right heating tools and get right to work.
“Backed by over 100 years of experience and over 60 patents to our name, our products are proven efficient and safe to meet the demanding needs of the professional user,” said Guilbert. “With these additional investments for the U.S. and Canadian market, we believe whether you’re a roofer, contractor or distributor, Guilbert Express can show how better tools mean better business.”
