Courage Continues Distributing SUN-GARD®

Solamatrix Inc. recently announced it has signed Courage Distributing LLC as the exclusive distributor for its Midwest region, including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Cleveland, Ohio-based company previously distributed the SUN-GARD® and GLASS-GARD® brands for Film Technologies International Inc. (FTI) prior to that company's closing earlier this year. Solamatrix, a newly affiliated Novamatrix company, has resumed production of the brand named films after acquiring FTI's old assets.

"We are excited about the opportunity to expand our partnership with Courage Distributing into the United States," says Bill Stewart, North American sales and operations manager for Solamatrix. "They have been successfully distributing window film for many years in Canada and have a solid business model for growth in the Midwest."

The relationship isn't new for Stewart, as he previously served as national sales manager for FTI. In the upcoming issue of WINDOW FILM, Stewart explains his company's efforts to continue the SUN-GARD® and GLASS-GARD® brand names. He also provides insight into FTI's final days and cause of downfall, which he says cannot be blamed on the company's facility or brands. If you're not a subscriber, don't miss out on this article.
