Dear Valued Customers,
Spring represents a time of change from the harsh cold of winter to the welcomed warmth of summer. At the same time, we are optimistic that we are starting to see change as it relates to the global pandemic with our country moving toward recovery and growth. We are proud to be able to support this initiative with the PIP® ESSENTIALS™ program that focuses on products that “Keep America Working Safe.” By adhering to government protocols, we have succeeded at being able to work at our locations safely, productively and with minimal impact on service levels. Our manufacturing remains strong, and we have evaluated our capacity and inventory to ensure that our service levels remain aligned throughout the recovery.
Our ESSENTIALS™ Safety Book remains a go-to resource for many customers who are serviced by our distributor partners. While this best practice guide provides customers with basic safety protocols, it also focuses on identifying alternative reusable PPE designed to help protect workers from occupational hazards while minimizing direct contact with shared work surfaces or equipment.
Over the last 12 months, we have placed a heightened focus on our innovative product offering by introducing more than 185 new products, many of which are designed to help workers feel more confident as they adapt to new working protocols. In April, we will further expand our product portfolio to include the Caiman® line of welding gloves and protective clothing, Boss® Footwear and a
re-launched line of disposable clothing under the PIP® Posiwear® brand.
Our attention is now centered around safely re-engaging at the field level and enhancing our business tools to make selecting a PIP® product easier than ever. New protocols have been issued for the safe return of our field salespeople with clear guidelines on travel and meetings – we all truly look forward to seeing you again. We are also launching a fully digitalized version of our 3SP™ Product Training program. PIP’s new training program has been greatly enhanced and will be available to partner distributors to support our mutual growth plans.
At our core, we strive every day to continue to provide you with what you need to satisfy your customers' ever-evolving needs – be it innovative products that are in stock and competitively priced, enhanced product training, or advanced sales tools. We are optimistic about the future and know that we only succeed when we work together as partners.
We are grateful for your business every day.
