Not many people can tell you how it feels to win a sweepstakes and receive a grand prize total of $ 25,000, including $ 15,000 in free THV home improvements and $ 10,000 in cash, but Dail Hancock of Kentucky became one of the lucky few on April 27, 2010, as THV announced the winner of the 3 month promotional Home Improvement Sweepstakes.

After filling out a Sweepstakes entry card at a home show in Owensboro, KY, Dail Hancock was chosen at random from among 26,000 entries from all over THV Compozit Windows and Doors service areas. Initially thinking she would never be one of those lucky people to win a contest, Dail was shocked, not to mention thrilled, to find the THV Prize Patrol waiting in her front yard as she drove up the street and into her driveway.

Having just recently purchased her home this past June, Dail Hancock and husband, Adam, are excited about the opportunity to make some improvements. After meeting with a THV sales rep early this week, Dail and her husband have already decided how to use their $ 15,000 in free home improvements. A total of 5 windows, 3 doors, and a new bath liner system were the home improvements of choice. Dail told THV she would like to use the $ 10,000 cash prize to build a new garage; however, no plans have been finalized.

Additionally, Charles L. Smith, CEO of THV, was so pleased with the outcome and 26,000 entries the company received, that they have decided to run the sweepstakes a second time. THVs newest Home Improvement Sweepstakes was launched April 1, 2010, and is open only to legal U.S. residents that own a home located within the service areas of THV Compozit Windows and Doors, its parent, affiliates, and subsidiaries. Additionally, participants must be 21 years of age or older as of April 1, 2010, and no purchase is necessary to enter. For more information about THV Compozit Windows and Doors, visit online at http://www.thv.com.

Storage systems are a specialty of A Plus Warehouse, and A Plus Warehouse now offers free initial consultation on storage systems. Storage systems are basically a variety of storage related items used in consort to make an integrated system. Products included in a storage system may well be: Storage cabinets, pallet racks, warehouse shelving, storage bins, and even conveyors and work benches. As a nationwide dealer of all these items, it is only logical that A Plus Warehouse should offer assistance to customers considering complete systems.

According to Jim OSullivan, product manager, Many of our customers focus on individual needs. We can broaden our portfolio of products sold to these customers by offering storage systems consultation. A Plus Warehouse is pleased to act on this great concept. With such a great offering of conveyors, storage cabinets, lockers, and shelving, it only makes sense to provide an integrated solution. Each of the sections of storage solutions deserves some attention. Of course, conveyors are an important part of any storage system , as a conveyor transports items to where they are stored. A Plus Warehouse stocks a wide variety of conveyors including Roach Conveyors and Rollaway as well.

For storage cabinets, A Plus Warehouses offers fully assembled or unassembled storage cabinets for those that want to save money on shipping and have the ability to assemble on their own. A Plus Warehouse provides storage cabinets from Hallowell, Pucel, Penco, Edsal, Parent Metals, and other providers as well.

A Plus Warehouse shelving and pallet racks work when open storage is a better solution than closed , and security is less of an issue. Warehouse shelving can either be open or closed style and is available from A Plus Warehouse in a variety of capacities. Industrial shelving can have elevated capacity when the metal is bent into an I Beam design. The shelf itself produces the added capacity through additional rigidity.

A Plus Warehouse makes pallet rack easier as well by offering pre-configured pallet racks. A Preconfigured pallet rack includes the proper amount of uprights and beams and also wire decking, when standard. A Plus Warehouse does this simply because ordering pallet racks can be confut rsing and can result in item mismatch and capacity mismatch as well. With preconfigured pallet rack , the system will always work.

A Plus Warehouse is a nationwide distributor offering storage solutions to industry. A Plus Warehouse provides items such as storage cabinets, conveyors, industrial shelving and pallet racks, and has done so since 1996

Garden City, New York (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

World Wide Security, a provider of physical security and life safety systems, today announced the asset acquisition of several physical security companies located on Long Island and New York City. The companies: Dart Security, Woodbury; Access One Security, Commack; and LSG Security Systems, Bronx, N.Y., will join World Wide. The acquisitions will enhance the service offerings to residential and commercial customers through expanded product lines and technical expertise. World Wide had announced in December an increase in the companys revolving line of credit which made the closing of negotiations, with these companies, possible. These acquisitions will help us achieve the ability to increase delivery of quality security solutions and technology to a growing marketplace in the region. There is a lot of industry talent involved with these acquisitions which will benefit our expanding customer base, stated Ken Mara, President and CEO of the Garden City-based World Wide Security.

Dart Security, founded in 1974, is a leading security system provider in Woodbury, with a market concentration in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Ben Cirlincione, Darts President and founder will remain with the company as General Manager. I am thrilled to have Ben as part of our team. Ben has had a large presence in the industry on Long Island. He has witnessed many changes, while also influencing trends, through his active participation when he served as President of the Long Island Alarm Association and during his involvement as Vice President of the N.Y. State Alarm Association, Mara stated.

With the acquisition of LSG Security Systems, World Wide will now have a physical presence in New York City and Westchester County, allowing the company to expand its market reach. Future plans include a larger office and additional staff. LSG was formed in 2005 by Lee Gagliono and specializes in the sale and installation of security systems. Lee has built an outstanding company that World Wide looks forward to being part of. LSG customers will now receive greater alarm response with monitoring services through World Wides in-house monitoring company, Vision Monitoring. The on-site monitoring division of World Wide is also a New York City Fire Approved Monitoring company. This stringent certification process is approved by the Fire Department of New York City and New York State and is held by only several dozen monitoring companies in the entire U.S.

Access One Security and World Wide Security had been doing business together for nearly 10 years through Vision Monitoring. All my companys security accounts have been handled by World Wides UL-Listed central station, Vision Monitoring; so when it came time for me to sell, I naturally wanted the smoothest transition and approached World Wide, explained John Maglione, President of Access One Security.

World Wide has a growing presence in government contracting having recently been awarded a 5-year N.Y. State contract and is one of the largest security and fire alarm providers and system installers, to school districts on Long Island. The companies will now work together to expand systems and technology to the State as well as local and regional government agencies, private residences and businesses. World Wide Security has long admired each of these companys abilities to service the expanding security market in the region. We are thrilled to join forces to create a highly competitive company with innovative ideas that customers want, Ken Mara commented.

As a Honeywell and First Alert dealer, World Wide is known for its ability to provide security solutions through integrated products. I look forward to having additional industry expertise available to address the challenges of highly technical installations as part of our team, Mara stated adding, The industry has moved towards the security system performing so much more than burglar and fire alerts. The consumer wants technology that will meet their very basic needs to advanced systems to control the home environment, monitor in real-time the inside and outside of the home, and have alerts sent to their cell phones and laptops. Companies who understand the end-user and have expertise in all of these areas will continue to grow.

Dart Security, LSG Security and Access One Security were asset purchases as was World Wides acquisitions over the last year, which included Rainbow Protection, Digital Security, True Value Alarms and Alarm Security Inc. Mark Simson, CFO for World Wide Security, led the financing for these acquisitions. We are very excited to have CapitalSource provide the lending platform to make this and all our other acquisitions happen. CapitalSource has been a tremendous partner in helping World Wide grow, stated Simson.

About World Wide Security: Partners in business since 1979, Kenneth Mara, President & CEO, along with Joe Ingegno, Vice President, have owned and operated security companies on Long Island, which serve the tri-state area. The World Wide family of companies includes: World Wide Security, GC Alarm, Telestat Security, Vision Monitoring, Rainbow Protection and Dart Security. Together the companies provide residential and commercial alarms, CCTV, access control and home automation systems.
