Auxer Group Announces Strong Sales in Puerto Rico; New Distributors Take On Garry's Royal Satin products
WAYNE, NJ--June 22, 1999--The Auxer Group, Inc. (OTC BB: AXGI) announced today that it's subsidiary, Harvey Westbury has received strong reports from distributors in Puerto Rico."The feedback coming out of Puerto Rico is that product is moving out of the warehouses ahead of schedule and strong reorders are expected in July and August," said Ronald Shaver, President of Harvey Westbury. The company enlisted a new major distributor in Puerto Rico, F.J. Automotive Distributors. The distributor has agreed to take on eight (8) of the company's Garry's Royal Satin(TM) products. The distributor has placed initial orders, which are expected to be shipped next week. Additionally, Harvey Westbury is currently in discussions with another Top 5 automotive retail chain to distribute Garry's Royal Satin products with its over 40 retail outlets in Puerto Rico starting in late August.
The strong sales are most likely as a result of the recent Garry's Royal Satin advertising campaign, which was run on television during the NBA playoffs, on drive time radio and in major newspapers during the same time. As a result of the recent advertising and marketing programs, Harvey Westbury has recaptured some of the wax and car care market it had in the early 1990s. "We believe this is just the start of many good things to come as a result of getting the Garry's Royal Satin name back into circulation over the course of the next 18 months," said Mr. Shaver.
The Harvey Westbury Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Auxer Group, is a 32-year old manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor of automotive, marine and aviation after-market and hardware products. Their most well known products include Easy Test(R) Testers, Kits, and Drainplugs, Garry's(R) Royal Satin(TM) Waxes and Polishes, and Garry's Royal Satin(TM) Marine Care Products, and Formula 2000 Ultimatea Synthetic Engine Treatment.
