EXCEL ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH DAK EQUIPMENT & ENGINEERING

DAK joins the exclusive Stocking Master Distributor group of the Excel distributor family

Excel and DAK Equipment and Engineering, headquartered in Elmhurst, Illinois, are pleased to announce a new strategic partnership. DAK will be a full line stocking distributor exclusive for the Chicagoland market, and DAK will serve as the Excel Quick Ship Program in the following states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee.

The focus of this partnership is on two important distribution channel issues:  first, quick access and availability of Excel products in the Midwest, regardless of our factory production schedule; and second, a freight and cost advantage for the Midwest Quick Ship marketplace.

DAK has over 20 years of leadership in the material handling marketplace, and a very strong presence in providing smaller distributors with their immediate needs for rack products in a very professional, competitive and fast manner.  Service is their primary emphasis, which dovetails with the overall Excel Storage Products marketing focus.

DAK can be reached at: (PH) 630-516-1115 and (FX) 630-516 1116 or dakequipment.com.  DAK will be contacting all of the Excel distributors and other distributors in their area with more details of the Quick Ship Program this week.

Please contact Steve Calvert, Vice President, Sales & Marketing scalvert@esprack.com with any questions or comments.
