Jersey City, NJ – September 26, 2005 – Best Manufacturing Group LLC announced two company wide enhancements today. These developments demonstrate Best’s commitment to remain the industry’s leader in customer service while also retaining the most expansive geographic coverage and the deepest distribution capabilities in the institutional textiles marketplace - serving the textile rental, healthcare, hospitality, and image apparel markets.
New Master Brand Symbolizes Successful Union of Best and Artex
Best remains committed to our strategy to focus on our core textile and garment businesses, expand product and service offerings and grow through acquisition. To symbolize a successful union of Best with Artex International following its June 2004 acquisition, the Best name has been chosen for the lead go-to-market brand name for its institutional division. The division has thus far conducted business as Best:Artex LLC. Best will continue to employ the Artex name as a category for table linen within Best’s institutional and hospitality divisions. The successful union creates a complimentary business that leverages the global manufacturing, international sales force and distribution strengths of Best. For the last year, customers have enjoyed a broader line of product choices, expanded services, a larger field sales force and a combined experience base in the industry that is unrivalled by competitors.
Updated Website Creates a Fully Interactive Catalog of Products
Best unveiled the company's new corporate website this month, located at www.bestmfg.com. The new site was designed to help customers gather product information easier, and features a fully interactive catalog of products. Customers can now print, download PDFs and email product tear sheets they are looking to purchase from any of Best’s four divisions (Healthcare, Hospitality, Institutional and Image Apparel). Best will continue to update the site with new products and get all of there in-stock products online during the fall, so that customers can view a variety of products from each division. Customers can also download Best catalogs, access the photo library, read company news and visit the Customization section to learn how to customize and personalize products for added branding.
