New Multi-Purpose Website Launched

Thunderbolt Industries is pleased to announce the launch of their new multi-purpose website. The site is designed to better showcase the brilliant design of the Thunderbolt tool, it’s benefits, namely safety and ease of use, while also promoting it’s power and durability. Designed by Calgary firm Swell Interactive Design and Communications the site has three goals:

• Marketing - description of products, features and benefits divided into two distinct categories: consumer and industrial
• Sales - provide sales leads for large volume industrial/commercial or retail chain buyers as well as individual tool sales to consumers
• Training - text, images and video demonstrating the Thunderbolt’s proper use, safety and helpful tips. This section also aids as a sales tool for retailers and end consumers.

Also, by developing and using a series of online training videos the website is setting new standards for product marketing, education and online training.

Thunderbolt Sold In Japan

Thunderbolt Industries is pleased to announce that their expansion into the Japanese market is proceeding according to plan. For the past 18 months RIPRO International has been selling the Thunderbolt model throughout Japan and the Pacific region. Sales have continued to grow and we look forward to continued growth in this area. The major selling point in this market is that the Thunderbolt does not require electricity or compressed air to function therefore it is ideal for working in confined spaces. The dense population makes construction very difficult in Japan and The Thunderbolt has come to the rescue.
