Slide 41
Through our various contacts in agriculture, we have come to
realize that all of us must be stewards of our planet. Before,
during and after any spill of chemical, insecticides or other
hazardous materials the quicker the spill is contained the cheaper
the cleanup will be and the impact on the environment will be
greatly reduced.
Slide 42
Using the best tools to clean up a spill will decrease the
amount of time required for cleanup but will also reduce the cost
involved for cleanup operations. Stopping a spill before it starts
is by far the best solution yet and to that point we offer a
variety of spill prevention items in our catalog also. With this
mindset we have partnered with a manufacturer of sorbing materials
and offer their products for sale.
Slide 43
The products we sell have been tested, used in real-life
situations and deemed the best value for your money. Our goal is to
exceed your expectations with top-notch customer service driven by
our hands on experience with the products we sell.
