Witt re-enters market

Office World News, Sep 1998

The Witt Co., Cincinnati, announced that it will resume direct management of marketing and distribution of its waste receptacle product line and re-enter the market with the WITT brand effective October 1,1998. The decision will result in the dissolution of Witt's exclusive distribution partnership with Minneapolis-based Safco Products Co., formed in June 1995.

To insure a seamless transition, WITT will continue to supply product to support Safco sales. Tim Harris, president of the Witt Co., said the decision was made with the customer in mind. "WITT is a fourth-generation, familyowned manufacturer with an established reputation for providing quality products and service," he said. "We take pride in the strength of our manufacturing operations and resuming direct control of marketing and distribution will enable us to remain cost competitive, and personally ensure the high standard of quality, innovation, service, and delivery which WITT customers have been accustomed to for the last half century."
