Trac Tool Products Llc. And Guardian Technologies Partner To Launch One-Of-A-Kind Speed Rollers®

12-24-2005 - Bedford, OH - Moxahela Consumer Products (dba Speedrollers), a Mentor, Ohio based company, has partnered with Guardian Technologies to spearhead the market placement and launch of Moxahela Consumer Products (dba Speedrollers) Speed Rollers® paint commercial applicator system. Speed Rollers, utilizes one-of-a-kind technology that provides professional painting contractors with the unprecedented ability to apply coatings at least two to three times faster than internally-fed pressure rollers or conventional painting methods.

Featuring two rollers, the system is fed by an airless paint pump that disperses paint onto the top roller; a second roller maximizes surface coating while providing an even finish. Because the applicator system eliminates the need to dip into a roller pan, and minimizes "back roll," it is significantly more efficient than available products.

"For contractors, increased labor productivity is the key to improving profitability. Speed Rollers applicators provide that leap in productivity without overspray, poor finish quality and high-maintenance requirements. Quite simply, the product has the potential to revolutionize the painting industry in the same way the nail gun revolutionized the building, construction and roofing industries."

Moxahela Consumer Products (dba Speedrollers) Vice President, Roy Blackburn, a 30-year paint industry veteran, goes on to say that, "This is a tool every contractor should have in his bag of tools, it can save the day."

The joint venture with Moxahela Consumer Products (dba Speedrollers) to launch Speed Rollers is the latest collaborative effort by Guardian Technologies, a company that was recently formed by several consumer product veterans, including Joseph T. Gorman, former CEO of TRW Inc.; Richard C. Farone, former Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Royal Appliance Mfg. Co; and David Brickner, former Executive Vice President of Operations at Royal Appliance.

As a result of this partnership, the companies are actively spearheading the development, design and manufacturing of various other coatings tools and fluid delivery systems. The products, which will penetrate a variety of markets channels within the near future, will all provide broad usage capabilities and high productivity, just as Speed Rollers does now. "We are extremely excited about our newly formed relationship with Moxahela Consumer Products (dba Speedrollers) and the opportunity to bring this unique and much-needed product to market," said Rick Farone, Managing Partner, Guardian Technologies. "For the past three decades, the commercial paint contractors market has primarily been either a spray or brush and roll market.

Speed Rollers is neither of these—but I can tell you, it is one of many tools to come from us that will change how commercial painting is done."
