11/21/07 - 92nd ANNUAL NJLM

It would be easy for an exhibitor to get lost in the crowd at the 92nd Annual Conference of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, where over 1,000 exhibitors were vying for the attention of the 20,000-plus attendees at the Atlantic City Convention Center. Armed with our patented WeedEnder® vegetation control system, various gas detectors, and other municipal tools, we certainly put the odds in our favor.

Extending our exposure beyond the New Jersey Department of Transportation, we found that the state's municipalities were excited about the opportunity to learn about WeedEnder®, a flexible matting to control weeds without herbicides, run-off, and time-consuming weed eating, and how it can work for them in their own communities.

U-TECK is very proud to have had the opportunity to be a first-time exhibitor at the NJLM and looks forward to many years of serving the people of New Jersey.

10/12/2007 - 49th ANNUAL NRVMA

U-TECK was proud to exhibit at the 49th annual National Roadside Vegetation Management Association (NRVMA) show October 2 – 4, 2007, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Although U-TECK has participated in numerous NRVMA shows in the past, this one was a particular joy for me as it was my first time in attendance. I was impressed with the caliber of show attendees and the level of interest for our patented vegetation management product, WeedEnder®. John Reynolds did a superior job in generating opportunities for exhibitors and show attendees to get together and discuss solutions for their various needs.

Our thanks go to everyone that made this show a huge success!
