"Like Contec, they have a history of developing long-lasting relationships with some of the world's leading manufacturers including our parent company [Contec Co. Ltd]. That type of longevity doesn't happen by accident. I've had the opportunity to work with President Sugiwaki and several other members of the Meiji team. They are extremely knowledgeable about the industry and dedicated to supporting their customers. We are happy to be working them."
The partnership between Meiji Corp. and Contec is an integral part of Contec's aggressive 5-year sales plan. "Contec has had steady, incremental growth year over year since its inception in 1991," said Todd Venable, Director of Channel Sales at Contec.
"We have leveraged that experience, utilized the additional resources afforded to us as part of the Contec group family of companies, and built a solid portfolio of products and services that provide real value to OEMs in the markets we serve. By joining forces with quality partners like Meiji Corp. we can help a whole new group of customers and can feel confident they will be well supported. It's a win-win."
