The strategic alliance between the two companies was announced in February and initially covered distribution rights for Spraydown products to tractor production and aftermarket distribution in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
By expanding the strategic alliance, Betts says Crane Plastics benefits from Betts’ experience and is expected to significantly increase the availability and sale of Spraydown products in North America.
“Our initial alliance with Betts Spring provided Crane with ready access to tractor production and aftermarket relationships that would have taken us years to independently develop” says Matt Fenneman, vice president and general manager of Spraydown, USA. “Mike Betts and his team are serious about spray control — and there is no more revolutionary product on the market than Spraydown. We are pleased to expand our relationship with this fine company.”
Mike Betts, president of Betts Spring, says Spraydown is an important product he wants to reach as many customers as possible.
“Initiatives such as FMCSA’s Compliance, Safety and Accountability (CSA) reminds each of us of the responsibility to contribute solutions that enhance safe driving conditions for our fleet customers and the public at large,” he says. “Spraydown provides unparalleled spray control to substantially improve driver visibility with equally compelling aerodynamic fuel saving design.”
According to Betts Spring, the Spraydown Aero Guard System manages airflow to generate significant fuel savings, while improving driver visibility. By directing up to 95 percent of spray back to the road and out of the drivers’ view, the Spraydown Aero Guard System is said to deliver substantially improved safety during wet and inclement driving conditions. Spraydown USA’s aerodynamic design is said to deliver fuel savings proven in both field and test track trials.
