Posi Lock’s international success lands company North Dakota Exporter of the Year Nomination

Posi Lock Puller Inc. puts a new meaning to global competitiveness. With dedication to aggressive growth plans, Posi Lock saw a 25% increase in product shipped internationally in 2012 and their reach continues to expand throughout countries including the UK, China, Australia, Egypt, Canada, Russia, the Philippines and South Africa.

Posi Lock’s international success landed them as a top three finalist for the North Dakota 2012 Exporter of the Year award. The Exporter of the Year award is presented to one North Dakota business each year that expands and supports international markets.

“Our passion, patience, and persistence keep driving us to explore new markets,” Vice President Tamara Somerville says, who recently traveled to Ordos, Inner Mongolia, to tour the world’s largest coal producing company in the world, the Shenhua Group.

The Shenhua Group operates 64 mines, and recently purchased Posi Lock’s PH-200T pullers for use on machinery and equipment maintenance. The exclusive PH-200T is a 4-jaw, 200 ton hydraulic-powered puller that features a patented Safety Cage®. Designed to meet the challenge of tough pulling jobs, Posi Lock pullers efficiently solve problems associated with the removal of gears, bearings, wheels, pulleys, sleeves and other press fit items.

Posi Lock’s success in foreign markets is at an all-time high, and the positive outlook they have is contagious. Their global competitiveness has developed strong strategic alliances along the way, which secures Posi Lock’s future and progress towards export excellence.
