In an effort toward expanding and strengthening our position in the global marketplace, we’ve had the good fortune of adding Loyal Partners to our distribution network. In November 2014, Loyal Partners and Kimes Technologies reached an agreement for the representation of the Kimes’ product line in South and Central America. We are very excited to have Steve Menasce and the Loyal Partner group help establish our presence in this very important region. The name Loyal Partners embodies the ideal business relationship, setting the tone for good, open, and honest communications. As such, it is with great expectation and commitment to our mutual growth that we welcome this new and very important relationship. With years of industry service under their belts, Steve Menascé (smenasce@lpi-intl.com) will be responsible for the Brazilian region; Alberto Ferramondo (aferramondo@lpi-intl.com) will be looking after Argentina. Loyal Partners will represent the Kimes lines of calcium, barium, & magnesium sulfonates; gelled sulfonates; salicylates, and miscellaneous companion products.” “Mutual growth” is a concept that Loyal Partners advocates. We believe this concept is a perfect match for Kimes’ core values and the way we like to work. We look forward to serving our global industry together with Loyal Partners.
