Greencastle, PA, November 16, 2006 --(
PR.com)-- Jerr-Dan Corporation and towPartners are pleased to announce that they have formed a strategic partnership to provide towPartners benefits to the entire towing and recovery industry. This provision of memberships by Jerr-Dan Corporation demonstrates their tremendous commitment to their industry and to the companies who work every day and night to serve the motoring public.
towPartners will provide these new Basic Members a large number of cost savings benefits including quality programs from trusted brands such as Aramark, Sprint Nextel, Office Depot, Dell, Aircharge, T-Chek and more. With a current offering from well over thirty Supplier Partner companies and more being added regularly, towPartners is uniquely positioned to save the towing industry more money than ever. Last year towPartners saved its members over five million dollars and Jerr-Dan’s provision of these memberships to so many new companies promises to save the industry millions of additional dollars.
Joel Amsley, Vice President of Jerr-Dan Corporation said “We are committed to the men and women who work in the towing industry and are always looking for ways to support them further,” referring to the partnership. “The towPartners program has demonstrated longevity and substantial benefits to the towing community. To add value to our extended family, it was a natural fit for Jerr-Dan to support not only our customers but the entire industry by providing these memberships.”
“Jerr-Dan is known throughout the industry for their leading edge innovation and quality products,” stated Jeffrey Godwin, Vice President of towPartners. “Mirroring our desire to be ‘for the industry’ in our business dealings, Jerr-Dan has shown a genuine desire to support the towing community. As industry suppliers we work alongside the families who make up our industry. It is only appropriate that we work together to provide additional value to those who make our businesses successful. The costs of operating a towing company today are great and through this offering we can help the industry to be more profitable.”
Over 25,000 towPartners memberships for 2007 have already been shipped courtesy of Jerr-Dan Corporation and many more will be issued in the coming weeks and months. Towing companies who have not received their complimentary memberships can request one at www.towpartners.com.
