Competitive
|
We have created a price structure so that the retail operation can be competitive.
Although lubricants, as a consumed item, are frequently used to build traffic as a loss
leader, we price it so that it can be competitive and still be a profit center.
|
Quality
|
All of our products meet the required API, SAE, GM-Dexron and Ford Motor
Company-Mercon licenses and certifications. They will match or exceed any product
of similar classification.
|
Quality Control
|
Every batch of every product is pre-tested before packaging. Metals are spectrograph
tested by an independent lab to assure that they are formulated according to OEM
specifications. A sample of every batch is kept in our lab. The batch is coded to
coincide with coding on the product to identify any item.
|
Product
Advancement
|
We consider every detail. As an example, unlike the pull off cap used by most majors,
we can use a heat induction cap. This Tylenol-like cap almost eliminates leakage and
is child resistant. It costs more but the advantages fit with our quality philosophy.
|
Company
Flexibility
|
Although we are servicing major accounts, we are a small company. We are set up to
give prompt and quality service. As a small company, PPC has company executives in
addition to the regional manager executive involved in day-to-day business. We do not
have to go to committees and say "May I?". Action is prompt and decisive. We have
the flexibility to operate quickly in any emergency need for product or any other need
or promotion. We also have the time to think about - and work with - each customer.
It's not just on visits.
|
Account
Priority
|
As a small company with a select group of accounts, each account is important to us.
No one account distracts from the service we provide to each account.
|
Reliability
|
PPC and the experience of our executives have provided packaging for major
accounts for many years. Reliability is the keyword.
|
Service
|
Our experience provides the knowledge for excellent guidance. We can anticipate and
we can recommend. We appoint company executives for each account, which
individualizes each program. We recently acquired three additional buildings and two
bottling companies that add considerably to our capacity. The bottling company
acquisition provides an on site source that enhances service abilities.
