Mark Jenkins, Jr, Mark Jenkins, and Roger Haftek - still standing after the five-day ConExpo marathon, with a little help from a ramped bin. 200,000 AND COUNTING: 2008 TRADE SHOWS IN FULL SWING
The tradeshow season is in full swing with three major shows already under our belt. While attendance at our repeat shows was down somewhat from last year’s record highs, because of our participation in the giant, record-breaking ConExpo/CONAGG show, we've already introduced our products to thousands more show attendees than last year. We’re especially pleased to report that there has never been greater enthusiasm for the CWS product or greater confidence that the regulatory environment is rapidly becoming more and more favorable to CWS, our licensees and the environment.
We’ve been pleased to have the participation of Roger and Patricia Haftek of Haftek CWS at ConExpo/ConAg and the World of Concrete. Brian Doonan of Atlantic Concrete Washout was a big help manning the booth at the International Erosion Control Association show in Orlando, Florida where CWS had the flagship ramped container on display.
World of Concrete (January 22-25)
We kicked the year off with a show of force at World of Concrete in January! Attendance was down a smidge from last year's record total, but still impressive at nearly 85,000.
Growing interest in green building and environmental/regulatory issues was reflected by the addition of the "greensite" exhibit area. We'll be looking at participating in that pavilion in 2009. You can learn more about the show from their own press release -- just click here.
International Erosion Control Assoc, Environmental Connection (February 18-22)
Over 2,000 influential attendees from across the country. Sascha Cocron and John Hall manned the booth and were pleased to have some face time with Nikos Singelis of the U.S. EPA.
CWS at ConExpo/ConAgg (March 11–15)
Every three years (and you’ll need the time to recover!) ConExpo comes to Las Vegas. The world’s largest construction industry trade show features nearly every type of construction product available and drew over 140,000 people from around the globe as the industry readies itself for the next building boom. The consensus is that now is a great time to be investing in environmental solutions as these industries are expected to grow at a rate far in excess of the growth in the building industry as a whole.
CWS 2.0: WHAT'S THAT BUZZ?
So ... have you heard some buzz about the new "CWS 2.0," and are you wondering what it means for you? While CWS 2.0 describes how we're doing business with all new licensees, existing licensees can convert to the 2.0 format -- and, in the process, improve their competitive positioning and save significantly on their license fees.
We're going to meet with each existing licensee to explain the concept, but, if you'd like to learn a bit about it in the meantime, we've created an FAQ document that you can read here: 2.0 FAQ.
OPERATIONS UPDATE
Earlier this year, we welcomed Valerie Cornejo (email: {encode="valerie@concretewashout.com" title="valerie@concretewashout.com"}) as our operations manager. She's your go-to person for all things related to billing and ordering of new bins. (Yes, you read that right: bin orders are now placed through Valerie at CWS, rather than directly through a fabricator. This way we can ensure the best volume pricing for all licensees.)
If you haven't already met Valerie, drop her a line to introduce yourself!
QUESTIONS OF THE MONTH
Q: Can we use the term "EPA-recommended" to describe the CWS solution?
A: While our solution fits all the requirements of a best practice for concrete wastewater disposal, EPA does not permit any business to describe their products as specifically recommended by the EPA. It's fully acceptable, though, to point out that the CWS solution meets all EPA guidelines for a best practice solution -- and that it is tidier, easier to implement, more reliable and usually more affordable than other options.
Q: I've been wondering, should I skip using liners in my bins? Liners are a little more difficult to clean.
A: Definitely don't remove the liners -- they protect your investment! The liner material is 7x stronger than steel, and by our calculations they extend the life of your bins by about 3x.
