La Oficina de Hytrol México... Un éxito en el apoyo a nuestros distribuidores en América Latina.

(Hytrol's Mexico office...Success in support for our Latin American distributors)

ytrol – Mexico was opened in the city of Toluca, the capital of the state of Mexico, in late 1998. The main purpose of the office was to facilitate research in Latin America, provide marketing and technical support for our distributors and act as the communication link between Spanish speaking distributors and Hytrol in Jonesboro. After three years of Hytrol presence in the Mexican market, that remains our goal.

In March of 2000, we moved into a larger office in the city of Metepec. This allowed us to expand our staff and better serve our distributors. Our Mexican staff works daily with our Latin American distributors providing technical and marketing support. Currently, we have 10 Spanish speaking distributors located throughout Mexico and South America. The continued growth of Hytrol sales throughout the region is a testament to the hard work of these distributors.

As we go into the New Year, we remain committed to our marketing philosophy of only selling through authorized distributors, both domestically and internationally. As always, we will treat all distributors as members of the Hytrol family, train them to succeed, and respond to their needs as quickly and fully as possible.

Distributor Education & Training

Hytrol's first Advanced Application School graduated on February 6. This was a new agenda geared towards more technical information regarding application in systems. The experience level of the class is high, with the class members having attended at least one other school prior to attendance here.

Topics included the process of selection, methods of applying zero pressure, heavy duty equipment, and a session by distributor guest, Joe Tholl, from Conveyor Solutions.

Tom Weimer, Habasit Belting Inc., and Rick Lee from Transnorm made presentations on the product they represent, as well.
