Posi-Shell on Display



On Tuesday, August 10th we were one of a select few vendors invited to a nationwide Waste Connections’ managers meeting held at one of their facilities near Denver, Colorado. Thanks again to the team at WCN for this invitation, as opportunities like this (live demonstration in one place for so many decision makers) are rare. We demonstrated our Posi-Shell Environmental coatings and set up one of our Solar-Spark Vent Flares as a static display.



Our Central and Western Regional Sales Managers, Jim Shumsky and JD Carter put in a lot of time bringing their demonstration units to the site and did a phenomenal job of showing our stuff. The day prior to the demo, they applied a panel of our long-term product and were able to show first-hand it’s durability because it rained like cats and dogs immediately after they applied it and on into the evening! This photo taken the next morning shows that NONE of the Posi-Shell washed!



Jeff, the manager for Waste Connections in charge of coordinating the event, did an awesome job as everything seemed to go off like clockwork. On Tuesday morning two tour buses arrived with a small army of the nation’s top landfill managers coming to check out various landfill products being demonstrated. One of our demo units contained a short-term (for overnight/week long cover) version of Posi-Shell and the other unit had the long-term version (multi-month/year cover).



Everybody seemed duly impressed with how quickly and efficiently Posi-Shell covered. When they were made aware that the overnight cover they were seeing costs less than a penny a square foot and that standard hydroseeding units can be used to apply it, the requests for site specific demonstrations started piling up.
