Why are they in the Safety Shield Program? I thought that was for dealers?

It is for dealers....

I wonder how that makes all the other Madico dealers feel ??

Enpro has many safety shield accounts. They have a national account with ATT. If you have ever been in a Cingular/ATT store, you will notice security film with an attachment system. Enpro's certified dealers get the work. They are hosting classes on safety shield installs with Madico sponsoring(I think). I am getting certified in June. V, there is no conspiracy.

I just got done doing a Cingular/ATT store. No Safety Shield on it...

"In fact, the company’s prestigious customer roster includes the Brooke Army Medical Center, Marathon Petroleum refineries, and the McLaughlin US Air Force Base."


These don't look like Natioal Accounts. I wonder who else is on the roster?

DON'T be fooled! I bought into this BS when they introduced it several years ago and they sold us territories then SOLD DIRECT AROUND US to our clients! Ethical MY ASS! Anybody buying that needs to wake up. They stole so much biz from us in the mid-west nobody will PURCHASE their program. BOYCOTT these guys. If they catch wind of any sizable deals they steal um. They have their oun installing force to do their projects. The only way we can defeat distributors that INSTALL is not to purchase from them!
YOU SUPPLIER SHOULD NOT BE YOUR COMPETITION DUDES!

I also took a deal from Window Film Depot today. Feels good to get a good wage for a crews hard work instead of being the shoe shine boy!

They wanted us to drop the $$$ to get into the program with everyone else. Now I hear they are limiting who is Safety Shield. The PR confirms it...
