ROTOR CLIP 'S "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" THEME A WINNER AT NFDS/WEST

Rotor Clip Company, Inc., a world-leading manufacturer of retaining rings and self-compensating hose clamps, recently featured a trick drill demonstration in its booth at the National Industrial Fastener Show West in Las Vegas, NV held November 11-12, 2004.

Rotor Clip’s marketing strategy centered on the theme “Famous Mugs/Support Our Troops”. Visitors to the booth got their picture taken, received a coffee mug, and a yellow ribbon symbolizing support for US Soldiers overseas. Coinciding with the “Support Our Troops” theme, Rotor Clip’s booth featured trick drill performances by Cadets David Haczyk and Vincent Burlazzi of the Pershing Rifles Co. K-8 Trick Drill Team, Seton Hall University.

"We wanted to do something that emphasized support for our  men and women overseas who put themselves in harms way every day," noted Craig Slass, VP of Sales for Rotor Clip. "I think our young cadets helped underscore this."

Rotor Clip received "Best of Show" in the single booth category for its efforts.

Rotor Clip is donating USO care packages for troops in the names of all visitors who participated at the booth.

ROTOR CLIP ACHIEVES TS16949 FOR ITS ROTORCLIPSÒ BRAND 

ROTOR CLIP COMPANY, INC., a major producer of retaining rings and self-compensating hose clamps, recently became the only retaining ring manufacturer to receive a TS16949 designation.

The Somerset-based company joins an elite group of only 250 TS certified companies worldwide.

The new standard is part of Rotor Clip's re-emergence as a brand leader and R&D center for the engineering, production and packaging of retaining rings. TS is goal oriented and fits very well with the company’s drive to provide value and service to its global customers. Instead of focusing on core procedures that everyone is expected to follow, TS requires management to set goals and meaningful metrics. These targets are tracked on a regular basis and problems are addressed through corrective and preventive actions. This goal driven philosophy results in timely improvements in every area of the company and cost reduction opportunities for its customers.

One of Rotor Clip's main targets is 95% "on the shelf" availability of product. This figure is tracked weekly and production, shipping and customer service take action to ensure the goal is met or exceeded. Since July of 2003, availability has increased from a low of 89% to a high of 97% reported in November 2003.
