We are growing the markets that we are currently in and expanding to new markets at a rapid pace and our team is executing exceptionally well.”
Clark added, “We will be exhibiting at the 2022 NACS Show in Las Vegas next month, where we had great success last year networking, finding new distribution partners, and finding new products for our own distribution company. We anticipate this year to be a more successful showing than the previous year.”
