LEGEND BRANDS SUPPLIES CRITICAL SOLUTIONS FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS

In the face of a global pandemic, Legend Brands has played a critical role in helping to supply frontline workers with critical disinfectant and air scrubber solutions. Many thousands of cases of its Mediclean Germicidal Cleaner Concentrate, BotaniClean and Dri-Eaz Milgo Plus antimicrobial solutions were shipped out shortly after the initial Covid-19 outbreak. In addition, Legend Brands overhauled its plants in order to build the maximum number of air scrubbers, like its DefendAir HEPA 500 unit—surpassing all previous levels.

These virus-fighting solutions are now out in the field, working hard every day to help hospitals, long-term care facilities, veterinarian clinics, distribution centers and manufacturing plants ensure a clean and safe environment.

“Whether it's a flood, fire or compromised environment, Legend Brands has been supporting our tireless frontline workers every day with powerful disinfectants and air scrubbers to help restore lives, homes, businesses and healthcare facilities around the world.” 
— Ronnie Holman, President, Speciality Products Group

MOHAWK INTRODUCES INNOVATIVE 3-IN-1 WOOD REPAIR STICK

Mohawk Finishing Products launched its innovative 3-in-1 Repair Stick that combines a matching touch-up marker, wood fill stick and leveler into one easy-to-use tool. Dry to the touch in under one minute, it can be used to repair any wood or laminate surface.

PETTIT PAINT'S CONTINUED GROWTH LEADS TO EXPANSION

As a result of significant growth in recent years, Pettit Paint is expanding its production, warehouse and service capabilities in order to keep up with higher customer demand. The company recently opened on a new state-of-the-art warehouse and shipping facility and is in the process of moving its corporate office to Hickory, North Carolina.

NEWLY ACQUIRED PROFILE FOOD SUPPORTS LOCAL COMMUNITY

Profile Food Ingredients, a manufacturer of dry stabilizer and emulsifier blends for the food industry, was acquired by RPM’s Mantrose-Haeuser business in December 2019. Headquartered in Elgin, Illinois, Profile Food Ingredients offers a wide range of custom blends that enhance the texture and extend the shelf life of dairy products, baked goods, beverages, confections, nutraceuticals and other specialty items. Manufactured in a Safe-Quality-Food-certified facility, its product line includes natural, organic and non-GMO solutions. The company has annual net sales of approximately $25 million.

A strong synergistic fit for RPM’s Mantrose-Haeuser business and its Holton Food Products subsidiary, the acquisition of Profile Food will enable RPM to accelerate both the top- and bottom-line growth of these companies, leverage their combined sales forces, and expand its reach in the food industry.

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to have an enormous impact around the world, RPM’s priorities are to protect the health and well‑being of its associates and their family members, support its local communities to control the spread of the virus, and serve its customers by maintaining the continuity and success of its business operations.

When the team at Profile Food discovered that first responders were planning to host a free mask drive for the local community, they quickly jumped into action. The company lent a helping hand by coordinating event setup and supplying breakfast for these frontline workers. During a time of critical PPE shortages, this drive helped to ensure face masks were accessible to members of the local community.

FINISHWORKS & KOP-COAT DEVELOP VIRUS-FIGHTING DISINFECTANT SPRAYER

FinishWorks teamed up with Kop-Coat to bring to market a portable, 12V-battery-operated spraying unit that features a 25-foot hose and an adjustable spray wand. It can broadly disperse cleaning solutions, such as Kop-Coat’s KCPP line of EPA-registered disinfectants, which have proven effective at fighting SARS-associated human coronavirus.
