Markets Served

A+ Products sells thousands of items and while many of them are used in crossover industries, we do specialize in specific areas. Below are some of them:

	Distributors Although A+ takes pride in only selling to manufacturers, we also sell to local distributors that service manufacturers in a territory or within a specific industry. Our distributors are specialists in the items they sell and are able to be very competitive because of the bulk discounts they receive. That being said, A+ sells to any size manufacturer. If you are calling from a location serviced by one of our distributors we will pass you onto them for a more specific, local presence. Every year the "who's who" in manufacturing meets at the www.ifai.com. (International Fabrics Association International Trade Show)
	Promotional The promotional or advertising specialty industry has over 7,500 members and exceeds sales of $18 billion per year. The manufacturers make and sell anything that promotes a company, campaign, and/or event. Although the majority of our activity in this industry is with lanyard and identification manufacturers, we produce various parts for hundreds of its members. Because of A+ Products vast involvement with the promotional industry, we joined the www.ppai.com (Promotional Products Association) to show our support. The other large association within the industry is the http://www.asicentral.com. (Advertising Specialties Inc.).
	Emergency Medical A+ Products is very proud to be a part of the emergency medical industry. Our products are used for equipment that help the fire, rescue, and EMS professionals save lives. To learn more about our public safety and the manufacturers that serve it, go to http://www.publicsafetyevents.com/ems/about_us.po.
	Rehabilitation Medical The difference between EMS and Rehab Medical is in the name, one is the first to respond and the other is there to help you get well. Our parts are used on a variety of the items this industry makes; from arm slings to bed covers to oxygen masks to straps and bags to carry them. If you are a hypochondriac we do not suggest you attend this show, www.medtrade.com.
	Sporting We do not pay $1,000,000 to be at the Super Bowl but yet we still get the most air time than most. For years our plastic parts were on almost all NFL helmets. We sell to manufacturers of exercise equipment; uniform, boating, hiking, climbing, and licensed goods are just a few type of manufacturers that use A+ Products. Although this is a broad industry with its own niche industries and shows, a popular show to attend is the www.outdoorretailer.com.
	Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Industry If you are not a fan of guns do not go to the www.shotshow.com. This industry makes anything that has to do with shooting, shooting, and shooting. Rifle slings, pistol holsters, badge holders, hunting decoys, hunting vehicles, tents, cooking equipment, and boats are the type of items you will see at the Shot Show and fortunately for us you will see a lot of our product there too.
	Hospitality When people ask me what I do, I always joke with them by saying, "Have you ever watched Trains, Planes and Automobiles?" A+ started selling the hospitality industry by selling shower curtain hooks and before we knew it we had sold over 2,000,000 million per year. Since then we have sold parts for the entire hotel room. Every year we spend a day or two working the booth with our customer at the http://www.ihmrs.com/. (International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show)
	Cut and Sew Made in the USA! I have traveled the world looking for new products and I have seen many things on those trips, but, the best thing to me is when I visit a US manufacturer and the plant is "rock'n". Although a lot of labor intensive items are made in less expensive regions of the world, the USA is the most innovative and always finds something to make and supply. I still see most of the product that stays alive on quality rather than quantity made here and we are proud to support it. Some of the industries within the cut and sew industry are: Bag and Travel Ware, Trucks and Tarps, Industrial Mfg, and niche markets.
